Stella’s Story

Site created on April 15, 2019

Welcome everyone, we wanted to create a central place where you could both get updates on Stella and send your love to her. I'm sure you are well aware that both she, her parents, and sister have fostered an amazing extended family of individuals like yourselves, and we wanted a place where everyone could connect without inundating Hans and Amy with text messages, though I'm sure they wouldn't ever complain.
Please share this with those in your personal and online circles who know and love Stella so they can join us in honoring her unmatched spirit.


That was written by our sweet peeps way back when this all started and the hope was new and loud. What was to come was not easy nor fun and it ended the way we did not want it to end. But there is yet Stella at the heart of this and Stella is not daunted; she is the core of love and light and through her parents she will keep sharing that love.  This has now become a place to hear Stella live through stories, photos and videos. I, Stella's father, with help from Amy, her mother, will continue to post everyday in her spirit until it is time to direct that energy elsewhere.  


Thank you for joining us here...we probably know you and love you but if we don't know you we probably still love you a lot.

Journal entry by Hans Altwies

Hello friends,

For those of you who are interested, I've started a blog on Substack.  So far, about writing, I know only it is as much about grit and consistency with intention as anything else. I know that about grief too. So, this will be a blog much in the vein of what I was writing here ...  though I may have guest writers share their work periodically.  BTW, if you're interested in sharing anything about Stella, grief, your experiences with other's grief or being on the perimeter looking into someone else's grief experience, please let me know.  (hansaltwies@gmail.com)

Best to all of you.

Hans
