So horrible. So evil. How could anyone snuff out such a bright light, and not confess to the deed nor show any remorse?

It is sad all around. Sad for dear Sasha whose life was snuffed out so early. Sad for the perpetrator of the crime. That he allowed himself to be controlled by Satan, the ultimate architect of hatred and death.

It is hard to fathom that he actually did it. Once he did it, there is a sense in which I am not surprised that he can't bring himself to admit it to himself. It's too hard.

The other really puzzling thing is his brothers behaviors. From the outside looking in something really went sideways in that family system.

Hate and bitterness are hard masters. Once given willfully over to them a person is in a very dangerous situation. They warp and twist until the person is unrecognizable.

Egregious loss in every direction.
P.19:

I can't imagine their suffering.

I wish nobody could.

If anyone could add the poem Sasha wrote, this would be a time to read it. It reflects her dear spirit, which endures.
It’s been mentioned on forum before, it’s noted in the most recent video above.

Her tender faith .. is greater than this world’s evil.

God have mercy on each of us.

i was encouraged to find several online references to Sasha’s memory and Light. Her poem is set to music.
This all reminds me of the song, “This Little Light of Mine” - i’ll add a version below.

Sasha believed. God uses all for His purposes. No limits.

If I Die Young / Sasha Krause
https://www.songforthesoul.info/if-i-die-young/

1. If I die young, count not my life as blighted,
Nor ponder sadly o’er the might-have-been;
You know not how my youthful soul, delighted,
Soared up-ward as though on the wings of wind.

2. If I die young, think not the hours wasted
I spent preparing for some future day.
My God is not unrighteous to forget it;
He will completely recompense someday.

3. If I die young, pray, mourn me not, my friends!
You did not see the tears that washed my soul,
You did not see the tempest fierce within me,
Nor how I burned with longing for the goal.

4. If I die young, oh, grant this voice a hearing!
Death is but gain to those who trust my God;
And know that He is watching for my coming:
My soul you did not bury in the sod.

Description:
This Mennonite Hour acapella song was arranged by my Facebook friend David Seitz.
Does this bring back memories of Richard Weaver’s converted-from--a-chicken house studio?
Do I see David in this photo?

Someone may know the date of the original recording.

Someone may know the date of the original recording.

Fewer than half the people in the photo (which GAMEO dates to c. 1964) are singing on that recording, so it's difficult to reach any conclusions about the date, but it's certainly from that decade.

That's more graphic than I wanted to see. I quit a minute or so after the 3rd picture of her body. Not recommended.
