Jennifer - a Refrain

By Rich K Voedisch

Jennifer Krueger, 26 and recently finished with graduate school, is home in Red Wing, Minnesota. With just months to go before she's to marry Steven Masterson, she learns she has an inoperable brain tumor and tragically loses her life soon thereafter. Steven, grieving and considering taking his own life, receives her letter, written days before her death, saying she will soon be back for him and to wait for her. His sister, Ellen, is there for him with comforting and understanding yet also with worrying, as he begins seeing Jennifer in visions and then claiming her actually coming to him. Problems arise. That only he can see her is trouble enough, but more troublesome is her only knowing him, no one else - not even her parents or twin sister. Throughout her concern, Ellen sees him as being perfectly normal. Still she worries, and rightly so, as he announces he is going to marry Jennifer! He, his family and Jennifer's family all know she died, attended her funeral and burial of her ashes. She's dead! How can he marry her? Father John, pastor of St. Ann's church, counsels Steven, believes in him, and after a time becomes the second person to see and talk with her and knows she is Jennifer. He takes on the role assisting them both in most that follows, eventually leading to the wedding no one believes is possible. Many questions and problems develop, one after another, often with tears yet also some heartwarming reunions. These are accompanied at times with humorous events down to the wedding itself with attendees questioning, "Who is the bride?" Added to this mix is the matter of Jennifer's ancestral connection to Annaliese Stengartten, and a castle in Germany, where she lost her life tragically in 1634, also at age 26. They visit the castle on their European honeymoon and remarkable events occur there and while skiing in Switzerland. While from beginning to end, it all seems impossible, one gradually comes to believe it just may have really happened.
