Scheikowski and Luke had been known to each other for almost 20 years, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Luke, a mother-of-two, had worked as a nurse for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n

Her workplace, Nundah Doctors Surgery, described her as \u201cirreplaceable\u201d in a heartfelt tribute posted on its website.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 23 August 2025, Nundah Doctor Surgery lost our wonderful nurse, colleague, and dear friend, Carra Samantha Luke,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cA most empathic and caring human being, nurse, mother, and friend Carra has been with us for 20 years and was the heart and soul of the practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has cared for her patients and helped through the most difficult times with the greatest professionalism and dedication.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is irreplaceable, and we will miss her every day. She will always remain in our hearts here at the practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDevastated [cry emoji]. Carra was a truly beautiful woman, who touched the lives of so many,\u201d the post reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe treated my family through our greatest joy and my hardest times, and I\u2019ll forever treasure our chats and her compassion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI especially loved watching her care for her elderly patients, with admirable wit, connection and utmost care. She had such a gift and genuine care for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former patient said Luke loved her daughters and they would talk about them during almost every appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unimaginable. I hope police can get to the bottom of how on earth this could happen, and we will rally for it to never happen again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
