Simon, I am so sorry to hear that!
I can only second what you said about Mama Kerstin´s sense of humor and her ability to create lasting bonds almost instantly, simply by being herself, with no need for ingratiation or pleasantries.
As I wrote in a private message some months ago, when I said good-bye to her and assured her we would soon meet again, she just shook her head and said “no”. She may of course have meant “you are just being polite, I don´t believe you will be back”, but there was no doubt in my mind she meant “you won´t find me when you return”.
She will be missed. God rest her soul.

Deepest condolences, Simon, on the loss of your Mother.
Let memories of the times you shared together give you comfort. Her life was enriched because of you.

Re: THE "CHATBOX"
Simon, my support to you and your family in these hard times.
And cherish the fact you could talk with your mother about all the things that don't happen around us, a rich experience most of us don't or didn't have.

I am extremely moved & touched by all the beautiful messages here. I thank you all very, very warmly. For all the 'impersonal / abstract' nature of internet communications, I can nonetheless sense & feel the sincerity of your kind words of condolence - I love you all. Most of you, of course, have NOT met my mom (nor yours truly, for that matter) in person. Only one day has passed since the passing of my dear mama - so I'm writing while still weeping profusely - in fact, I can hardly read / or spell-check what I'm typing right now, due to that fountain of tears blurring my eyesight! Fortunately, I'm surrounded by many good friends today.
My mother is "dead"- but one cannot say that she's "gone". To those who got to know her, she won't ever "go away".

Re: THE "CHATBOX"
Thank you to the forum members being genuinely supportive. This research might not have ever existed without Simon, and Simon might not have ever existed without this incredible and beautiful person. I feel I cannot really express myself about this subject through this kind of forum and I tried sending you an e-mail Simon. I will also be on Skype and I will try giving you a call.

Sorry for your loss, Simon.
