Lucas Daniel Hall, the cherished son of Laura Sargent Hall and Brian Hall and baby brother to Ethan and Grace, died on Tuesday, June 14, at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was five weeks old.

Since his birth on May 9, tiny Lucas brought much joy to his family. His too brief life was a gift to many, and his presence touched deeply the lives not only of his family but of their close friends as well. Ethan, Grace and their parents were dearly looking forward to welcoming Lucas home, and they are terribly saddened.

Services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lucas’s memory to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, c/o Massachusetts General Hospital Development Office, 165 Cambridge street, Suite 600, Boston, MA 02114 or online at massgeneral.org/give.
