Lena, so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember lots of stories you told about her and I also remember how happy she was to be your mother and a grandmother to your children.
My mother, Margaret Sinclair, and Nadja were friends for many years. They both spoke the same languages and had many wonderful conversations. I am sorry for your loss.
