Family of plane crash victim turns to faith to deal with grief
Cyndi and David Luth of Muscatine, Iowa are grieving the loss of their 22-year-old son Stephen. He died Friday in a plane crash in Kansas, on the way to Council Bluffs. Of the five people on the plane, only one survived.
Stephen had just graduated college days before. A business administration major at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, he was on his way to a Christian youth rally, part of a new job he was going to start this week with a youth ministry called Teen Mania.
His parents remember their son’s faith in every story they tell, reading the words he wrote to them on paper plates, a family tradition.
“Mom and Dad, thank you for all that you do,” he wrote in one of his notes. ”I am blessed to have you both. God has a plan for each of us.”
