Hallo Alfons, habe deine
Homepage angeschaut...find ich gut, auch wenn sie tragisch endet. Deine
Frau war hübsch, es tut mir leid um sie. Dem Schiksal kann keiner
entkommen. Aber das Leben geht immer weiter. Auch wenn dein Schmerz groß
ist, irgendwann geht es wieder aufwärts. Ich wünsche es dir jedenfalls.
Also ich wünsche dir alles Gute.
Mit freundlichem Gruß

Message: Dear Alfons and
Ben, Thank you so much for this tribute to Katarina. It brings back so
many memories of first knowing her at Cate Farm in Plainfield, Vt. with
the Bread and Puppet Theater. We all shared a house and the warm feelings
of us all still linger. When I think of Katarina I think of horses and
gardens. She had such strong ideas about gardening. I remember being in
charge of one of the gardens. I remember her laugh and her almost coltest
way of moving. I didn't see her much after she left the theater, but there
were the few visits. I shall always have a strong picture of her in my
mind. All the very best during this difficult time. And may the future
bring happy memories. See you this summer. With Love Barbara

Message: I remember Katharina,
Alfrons, and Ben from when they were in NS. Remember Katharina and I trying
to find the right German word for our racoon Bobby, Remember the incredible
drive in her to succeed, wish I had gotten to know her better, but then
they were off in the blue van, remember conversations later with her about
her horses and the ginseng. Thanks Alfrons for making this web page for
her, and I hope you Ben find peace. You loved your Mum greatly. So sorry.

Message: I'm sure she knows
now wether or not the trees have an aura, and those energy points that
are visible when you know how to see them, well..., I see them whenever
I want to. I love her always, my friend and REIKI master, and I miss her
without measure. Benoit only met her that one time shortly before she passed
on, and it seemed to him that he had known her for an eternity. Alfons
and Ben you are in our thoughts all the time. Some friends without internet
say hello: Toby and Elwood with his family. Love and frienship, Andrea
and Benoit

Message: It was such a pleasure
to know Katharina in Bread and Puppet Theater, and then to meet Alfons,
and later, Ben. Katharina had such a strong, open viewpoint about life
and living, and I learned a lot from her. Alfons has many similar gifts,
and together they go out in search of some great new life, the farm in
Quebec, travelling in the blue van: life is an adventure, they seem to
say, and they seize that opportunity to enjoy it and make the most of it.
Ben is a wonderful young man! love to you all! John Bell

Message: Thank you for sharing
these stories of Katharina, and your life together. I feel fortunate to
have known Katharina. I am remembering singing with her. Her singing reflected
her general style and character--strong, deep, gentle, passionate. I am
happy to remember the time we spent together.
