  2. Dieter,
    I just found out about your Mom’s passing the other day from my Dad. He had just found out as well. Last time I saw your Mom was at my Mom’s hospital bedside and then at my Mom’s funeral in July 2009. Your Mom gave me a wreath she made for my Mom and after the funeral I headed back to B.C.

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I feel bad for just hearing about it now. Hope your Dad is doing well!

    Kind Regards,
    Jackie Linke

    and her superson is carrying her galactic dna and therefore she will always be a part in you.

    Spiritwind wrote (when he came to know his mum had passed over):

    Mum will live with me, through the universals, and the love I have come to see representing the insides of Mother energy as expressed in the country herself. Same same energy energy. Live on mother, in all that I know.

    Love you mum!

  5. Dieter,

    Sometimes it is better when another comes around at a later time. In this instance, I am that person. I give you my condolences of your loss and my tardiness will help to keep that memory going and to help to let it be known and remembered that she is not forgotten so quickly.

    Your words in honor of your mother are from the heart, your heart and by reading the other comments here, I can tell there has been a merging of words and therefore feelings. May the togetherness remain and may this loss not really be a loss, but only a more definitive verification of a change, a change that will bring more power and unification to what is presented on this website as a whiole.

    To Dieter as well as to all who added a part of themselves to your loss,
    Rhonda

    I could not add more to say then what you wrote except to add that anytime I spent with your mother, was an inspiration. Her energy had a quailty that calmed the soul. She will remain in my thoughts.
    I hope that we see each other on your return here.

  9. Hello Dieter, I am not sure you remember me. I was your neighbor across the street. I grew up with your family. You were quite young when I was best friends with Connie and Leslie. I used to babysit you and so did my sister Lori. Anyways, I read your website and I just wanted to tell you how beautiful it is. You and your Mom seemed very close and I know she was a great Mom and a just a wonderful person. I have run into her a few times over the years and I always went to her yard sales haha. I am so sorry to hear she passed, keep her memory close to your heart and someday you will meet again! Take Care Sonny!

    • Jodi thank you!…..of course I remember you and Lori….a man never forgets his first ‘crushes’. lol. Your popcorn is still a legend in my mind….yummy!

  10. Hello Dieter,

    Your amazing words were read beautifully today at the prayers for Gertie in Saskatoon. Your presence was felt deeply. I am so sorry for your loss, but very inspired by you, Gertie and the relationship you had with each other.

    Love,
    Tracey

    • Thank you Tracey, I know she was also inspired by you and your family too….it was a rare time that your bread was not in the kitchen. As you know Mom loved the bakery coffee, and hanging out at Christie’s gave her a sense of peace, family and community.

      Love,

      Dieter

  13. Hi Dieter and Readers,

    My brain didn’t understand until last night that Gertie had died.

    My first reaction was a smile… but my brain said I shouldn’t do that, and that I should hide such a reaction from others.

    Then I became relaxed again and didn’t worry about such things… and instead of jumping up to send out messages of condolences and such, I went back to exactly what I was doing… watching a funny show that I was having a really satisfying laugh to before getting Gertie’s departure message.

    I gave Gertie an energetic nod and recognized that she could very well have been sitting right next to me (along with everyone else right now) and enjoying herself as much as I was in that moment. I continued what I was doing… but I continued with the reminder that I wasn’t doing it alone. I loved the feeling of having a good laugh with her while I watched my show.

    Gertie was always loved it when I sang. I’m glad to have shared some worldly times with her and provided something enjoyable to her here. I’m even more glad now to know that she might be enjoying time with us at any moment… whether we understand it or not. It’s also nice to know that this may have always been the case… and this may just be a reminder of that.

    Gertie, just as I might welcome you into any place I would call my home, I welcome you to where you are now. Welcome home.

    Regards,
    Cory

    • Thank you Cory, your words and music reflect your honesty, kindness and authenticity…that mom and I both appreciate. Love, Dieter

  14. Dieter! I am an avid reader of your great informative site. My deepest regards to you. What an absolute lovely dedication you wrote of her. I loved every second of it, and could perfectly imagine the divinity within your own mother without ever meeting either of you. I as well lost my own mother, at the age of 20 (four years ago). I was not nearly as lucky as you to have such a beautiful being to be my own mother (bad influential crowds at a young age of hers = horrible drug abuse = cancer which overtook her spirit). I was never able to know her like a son should, nor look up to her like one (parents divorced when I was 5 due to my dad being unable to handle my mothers emerging schizophrenia from heavy heavy drug use). Luckily I was given a father figure such as that of your mother, strong, smart, creative, caring, proud, and most of all truly loving every day that I have existed, which has shaped the man I am today and the love I emit constantly (try to) from my heart to all of life. What a blessing it must have been to know and be so deeply loved by Gertie. The reason I told you that of my mother (as I never have and don’t want/need sympathy/pity) is just to reinforce your personal belief of the magnificent spirit Gertie was and how much of an amazing blessing it is to have such a beautiful spirit in physical form love and care for you unconditionally every single moment. In much love, much grief, and most of all immense JOY for the life that which she manifested on our gorgeous Earth, I bid you great peace in her passing. I’m aware you are a very very wise person, and I am but a 24 year old still finding his path but ever more loving the light which I am discovering daily that permeates ALL, feel free to contact me via email if ever in need to ‘connect’ to one who lost his mothers spirit…….. for the time being anyway :-D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. Dieter,

    Great to see the pix of your dear mom and the Braun family together, in your latest IITM page header…

    Mom is happy and in Heaven and smiling down at you all…..

    Kind regards, Drekx Omega

    A gift of some smooth soul music that sets the tone of rememberance:

  16. Heartfelt sympathies Dieter,
    Sorry for your loss; Mothers are such a guiding force. You project your wonderful, loving mother’s spirit. Blessings…

    • Thanks RNC….the images that we see are the mirrors that we are. Blessings to you! Love, Dieter

  17. Dear Dieter,
    I am sooooo incredibly sorry to hear of the passing of your mother- Gertie. A part of my heart has been broken. Her faith she held true and shared with so many. Her beauty undeniable. Her spirit will forever be remembered. She is with Creator now in peace, love and all her grace. She was a strong woman with a smile that captivated your heart and her words held your mind captivated with her many stories. She was a true survivor.
    I will miss her…
    My well wishes, prayers and smudges to you, your father, your sisters and her grandchildren.
    forever in my heart,
    Marjorie Beattie and daughter Rebecca xoxo

    • Marjorie, thank you, your motherly and wise word are food for my healing heart….I feel it getting stronger and stronger!

      Love,

      Dieter

  18. I don’t know you or your mother, but I can see that your mother’s beauty shines in you Deiter; you honor her greatly with your loving presence. And your love for her, sooo beautifully expressed here, touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes. You are both blessed with each other and will be together forever! My love and prayers for you and your family and loved ones in this difficult time. Peace brother…

    • Gracie, thank you…the peace and blessings of your words, is a gift to me during challenging times. Love, Dieter

  20. Prince Albert hosts Indian winter games

    By Jane Brown
    Sage Writer
    PRINCE ALBERT

    The Prince Albert Grand Council, host of the 1997 Saskatchewan Indian Winter Games, scored the most points during the four-day event. In his welcome to the athletes, Grand Chief Alphonse Bird said the games represent a great challenge and opportunity for the people of the region.

    “The Winter Games is a wonderful opportunity to share with one another our culture and our accomplishments,” he said. “Most important of all, the Winter Games is a time to celebrate our young people.”

    The young athletes, with their colorful team jackets and jerseys, were in full force throughout the city. Local school boards and the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology made their classrooms and gyms available for the athlete villages and competitions. The Prince Albert Communiplex, Dave Steuart and Kinsmen Rinks were provided by the city of Prince Albert along with the Margo Fournier Centre.

    Support was provided by private business as well. The Winter Games Office at Gateway Mall, the Prince Albert Curling Club and the Minto Bowling Centre were facilities that were donated, and the Prince Albert Indian Education Centre provided facilities for entertainment and social activities.

    In all, approximately 2,400 competitors and coaches were expected, as well as 5,000 additional visitors. However, when the buses started to arrive, it was evident that there were more than even the most optimistic organizers had hoped for.

    “We had prepared 2,400 name tags but we soon realized that wasn’t going to do us,” said Todd Isbister, the committee member in charge of posting results. “We printed another 400 and that just did us.”

    In addition to the regular sports, there were demonstration sports for fun and entertainment. Curling, boxing, martial arts and bowling attracted many participants and fans. The most popular, however, was Hand Games, with players from the Athabasca region demonstrated one of the oldest games played by First Nation communities.

    “This is all very new to me,” said Gertie Braun of Saskatoon, who had the only Aboriginal crafts booth. Situated in the Gateway Mall just outside the entrance to the demonstration, she was fascinated by the different cultural aspects of the events.

    “I was brought up with drums and music, but this sounds completely different. The whole sound is something I haven’t heard before and the young people are so enthusiastic,” she said.
