Very late to this thread.
Klaus,you have my heartfelt condolences,I lost my Mother unexpectedly as well years ago.
She will remain in your thoughts forever,unfortunately the pain will last a long time also,but will gradually lessen.
She obviously was a Hell of a Woman,you just have to look at how strong and caring you've turned out to be,and how highly the people who've met you think of you.
That can't be faked.
Her ideals and teachings will live on inside of you and continue to affect everyone you meet.
You've made her proud,just by being the Man you are.
Take care,
Kirby
