A flurry of heartbreaking messages from fans and acquaintances has flooded social media following the actor’s death.

The elegantly-designed card stated that a formal invitation would follow.

The 52-year-old actor died on March 4, 2019, after suffering a massive stroke at his Southern California home. He was hospitalized on February 27 and was under observation for five days.

Wendy, 44, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support following the actor’s passing.

"HAPPIEST YEARS"

The past 11 and a half years with Luke, she said, “were the happiest years of my life, and I am grateful to have had the time with him.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, she said: “I want to express my gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of love and support. The countless, heartwarming stories of Luke’s generosity and kindness have been a great source of solace during this difficult time.”

The couple, who kept their relationship largely private, walked the red carpet at the GLAAD Media Wards together in April 2017. It’s unclear when the couple got engaged.

Luke shared 21-year-old son Jack and 18-year-old daughter Sophie with his former wife Rachel “Minnie” Sharp. Luke and Rachel split in 2003.

He also starred as Fred Andrews on the CW series "Riverdale".

May your journey forward be enriched by the magnificent souls who have passed before you, just like you have done here for those you leave behind. God, please give him a seat close to you; he deserves it.”
