July 31, 1991 – July 30th, 2021. Our daughter Jess left this world on July 30th, 2021 one day before her 30th birthday. She is survived by her parents, Theresa and Carl Luther and her siblings: Michael, Charissa (husband Gary), Caitlyn, and Keely (wife Meredith) and her nephews and niece: Dominick, Ava, Joey and a long list of family and friends that loved her very much.
Our Jess led a very troubled life covering mental illness with addiction issues. We are all heartbroken that no matter what, she was determined to continue on her own path. We are all very appreciative of the multiple social workers, therapists, rehabilitation centers and even the judges that attempted over and over to point Jess in the right direction.
July 30th, my Woman's prayer book offered this blessing (John 6:37)
"Jesus said, "Whoever comes to me I will never drive away. Come!" Jessica always maintained strong religious beliefs in spite of her troubles so I am certain this message appeared to comfort all family and friends that loved her.
Services will be held at:
