update

 Sitting in the airport on the first leg of my trip to South Africa. Kei's daughters have been so kind to me and I'm going to get to see her country, meet her family and attend the funeral. This has helped so much over the last few days. Like you guys I am still very much in shock.

Thank you all. I'm also going to ask them if they would like a donation to her favorite charity or flowers or something, so you guys have an option to contribute if you wish. Will update as soon as I have details.

Either I'm having a serious memory slip or I didn't know Kei? Did she have another lj name? 😕

Please let us know. Anything at all that will help with their grief (and my own), I'll do. I even broke down and asked DH for a cuddle - something I just don't do because he really doesn't understand how it can help - just to get some positive feelings to help me through this. Sending all love to Kei's family along with you. Travel safely.

Guessing you're probably there by now (certainly hope so, anyway!) but a belated safe travels.

Please let Kei's family know that many folks were touched by her words and her kindness, and that we send our deepest sympathy.
