Lena in Washington

Lena was a lovely person and a very dear friend of mine. We spent wonderful days together here in DC. We walked a lot together, we discovered the Cherry Blossom together for the first time, we worked together at the Book Project, she introduced me at the Swedish embassy and much more. She was an example and an inspiration for me.

I will always remember her.

Please accept my deepest condolences,

Lenas fight against her cancer ended Novemer 18th. In spite of a difficult last two years with cancer spread to the skeleton and liver and with heavy chemo-therapy treatments, Lena focussed on the positive side of life - not because she denied the illness or the deadly threat - but to recognize joy, friendship and the small glimps of happiness life could offer during the time that was left.

Någon gång på 70-talet diktades det om Lena, det är du som är legenden för oss som kommer sen. Hon var en person att se upp till, inte för speciella prestationer utan snarare för att hon visade en attityd till sina medmänniskor som präglades av omsorg om andra, kärleksfullhet till sina närmaste och empati för de utsatta.

Skriv ner dina minnen av Lena på den här bloggen för att vi tillsammans ska minnas vem hon var; som vän, som kollega, som mamma, som farmor, som käresta.

Write down your memories of Lena and share it with friends, relatives and colleagues. Write about her role as friend, colleague, mother, grand mother, wife and human being.
