Laurel Krause, Mendocino Coast, December 2019
Over the summer of 2019 I wanted a new picture of me with my sister Allison. Since Allison was killed in the May 4, 1970 Kent State massacre, it was near impossible for Allison to pose for a painting almost 50 years after her killing. So I asked my friend and artist Roger Ballas to consider creating a painting of Allison and me. Over the December holidays Roger “gifted” this wonderful painting of the two of us!
Over three days as Roger painted this painting, Allison spoke to Roger in his dreams and he wrote down her words. Allison’s messages are written on the stripes of the flag in the painting … and offered in this post below.
Artist Roger Ballas created this magnificent painting of Allison Krause, one of the four students killed at Kent State on May 4, 1970, with her sister Laurel.

Allison’s Message Hidden in the Painting
Flowers are better than bullets.
We are all fine.
I am with the mystery of the Infinite One.
I love you.
The loving energy beyond your realm is beautiful.
No pain here.
Use me as your access point to G-D.
Our relationship is the foundation of your understanding of the transcendent.
Flowers are better than bullets.
I have entered Gan Eden
My soul remains to comfort you.
My soul is at peace.
My soul is immortal.
I await my bodyless path before G-D.
Don’t cry for me.
I feel no pain.
I am with you everyday.
I see you.
Never let us be forgotten.
Flowers are better than bullets.
Peace fills my soul.
It’s okay.
All is peace.
Love one another.
We are all okay.
All at peace.
No pain.
Flowers are better than bullets.
Peace and love, A.
