Synopsis
When I returned to our home, I collapsed on my bed and slept for hours and hours. When I woke up early the next morning, I had two thoughts: I wanted to find out about Afterlife communication to connect with Linda. Second, that I must do whatever it takes to preserve her legacy in the four arts in which she excelled, as in each of them she was recognized and awarded honors: film, music, performance art, and poetry. I have accomplished much of each of the two goals I set for myself, in Linda's honor; I have also written two books about her, and her poetry, and about our lives together. I still have more to do.
This book introduces three important individuals: my late wife, Linda J Albertano, the artist who passed away; Elizabeth Raver, Ph.D. a long-term professional medium and retired college professor; and me, Frank Lutz, author of two other books on Linda, namely: "On the Life of Linda J. Albertano", and "It All Began with Cherry Soup". You will notice in introducing my wife, Linda, I use the verb form "is my wife" and not "was my wife". If you are familiar with Afterlife communications already, my use of the verb form "is my wife" will not surprise you. If you are new to Afterlife communications, then you will come to see that the Afterlife is a real place where we will go and where our Departed Loved Ones (DLO's) and ancestors have gone. It is a viable place of consciousness where life goes on in a different form, and I find it fascinating.
About the Authors
Elizabeth Raver is a retired Psychology and Math professor. Her doctoral degree is in General Psychology and her dissertation was on the lived experience of Math anxiety in elementary school teachers."Dr. Liz" as she is sometimes called, is also certified as an Intuitive Spiritual Life Coach and in Reiki II. She is a member of the Afterlife Research Education Discussion (ARED) online group and the American Association of Psychics and Healers. Dr. Liz has studied mediumship in the United States and Great Britain. She has been practicing mediumship formally since 2007. However, she has been a sensitive since childhood and used to play with "imaginary friends"; it was not until her mid-twenties that she began to understand that she is a born medium capable of communicating with the spirit world. At present, Dr. Liz serves local spiritualist churches by giving spirit messages to congregants, healing and sermons. In the past, she has demonstrated mediumship to college students. In addition, she was a medium participant in The Yale COPE Project. This project studied differences between schizophrenics and psychic-mediums, in order to better understand nonphysical voice hearing. She offers private and group mediumship sessions, classes and workshops. In addition, she does life coaching regarding spirituality and related topics. Her mediumship includes evidential, light trance and energy work. She works with people from all over the U.S. as well as internationally. Sessions are held online, on the phone or in person based on each individual person's needs. When not involved in mediumship, Dr. Liz loves spending time with her husband Richard and their kitty Louie. She enjoys writing, reading, cooking, gardening, music, watching the night sky and Netflix.
Linda J. Albertano was born on April 17, 1942, in Moab, Utah and grew up in Denver, Colorado. Her mother was an artist and her father was a land surveyor. Later her father abandoned the family and reported her mother falsely as a malfeasant, so the local authorities put Linda and her younger brother into repressive fundamentalist Christian homes, which created an emotional hardship for the kids for the rest of their lives. However, because Linda had a brilliant creative mind, as well as physical beauty, and height, she would go on in life to become celebrated and honored in film, music, performance art, and poetry. The first page of this web page shows some of the honors she received, and venues in which she appeared, in North America, Europe and Africa. Linda's passion was the spoken word. When asked by her husband Frank why she became a poet, she responded in a loud voice "Because I want to be heard!", a response borne out of the verbal repression she experienced in the foster homes as a child. We are all lucky to have the ways she expressed herself available to us both vocally and musically. Linda graduated from UCLA Cum Laude. Sadly, Linda passed into the Afterlife on September 13, 2022. We welcome you to experience Linda's creative muses!
Frank Lutz, Linda's companion since 1968 and husband, was born in Charleston, West Virginia, and grew up in Ohio. His father was in the automobile industry, and his mother was a part-time artist. He was a talented athlete and a scholar, like his father had been. Frank's father introduced him to poetry when he was ten years old, and only recently has Frank gone public with his poetic works. After having been injured playing football at Ohio State University, he went on to universities in France, Italy and Germany, finishing his scholastic undergraduate work at UCLA, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa scholastic society. He was awarded a graduate Fellowship, and today sits on the Council for the UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. He has done academic research at the Vatican Secret Archives in Rome. During his student years he had travelled the world's oceans as a student oceanographer. He also has a commercial pilot's license. To author and help Linda publish her poetry and prose in all her books is a privilege and an honor for Frank.
