It is a rare thing to lose two family members in such a short time, but it has happened.
My personal knowledge of Luther is small as he lived in another state from me and I saw him rarely. What I do know is that he was a high school teacher and married one of his students, Marcia Ruth Matthis, the youngest child of Marcella Freudenburg and Chester Blain Matthis. Lute, as he was called, came to our family reunions at least once when we all met at Pine Mountain State Park near Corbin, Ky. He and Marcia had two children, Hannah Josephine and Chester Earl. I remember them as quiet, beautiful children among us.
At the time of his death they lived in Pikeville, Kentucky and he lived to see Hannah become a mother.
Hannah had lost her husband a year ago and several years ago an uncle, Charles Blain Matthis. A lot of losses of the men in her life, in a short time.
In all of her loss, Hannah has her mother and extended family members to give her support. She has the support of her church also. May those blessings sustain her now. We all wish her well.
