Elena asked me if I could write somthing from her on the page so I try to do it. It´s not gona be easy between the tears.
She want to thank you all for all the support during these tuff days, it had helped her alot to keep on going. AND she said that have also helped Mr Speed until the end today. All the time as she sat beside him during the days have she told him about us and what we wrote on the page. And how much she loved him and how much we loved him and prayed for him.
Elena and Annika was with him until the end and hold his hands.
The families keeps on going but it´s not an esy time whats gona come.
But as I told Elena we are there for them and that we also gona miss our friend Mr Speed ALOT. But as Elena said Mr Speed don´t want that we shall stop having fun and party and do all the crazy things that we have done together before this tragic thing happend.

Alots of love to all of you!!!!

Gregory tells me to write this for him: Speedy, I am sorry your life was cut short, but while you were alive you partied harder and longer than anyone I know. You taught me when you don't think you cannot drink anymore, to toast one more time with your friend because you don't know when the last time will be when you're with your friends. If Ios was our ship, with all our friends, you were definitely the captain. And I promise you my friend that when I join you in heaven I'll be the referee of the game I am sure you are already organizing. My best wishes to Elena and your family.

The Rotterdam Colony: Terrible News. We are torn, and we have no words to say. From all of us, condolences with this great loss, and our thought are with Elena, the kids and all friends, and loved ones.

We will miss Speed!!

Shit! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes and a sore throat.

Speed, you always said you would sleep when you're dead. Couldn't you have waited for another forty years or so?!

I'm glad I have known you and had the pleasure to party with you mate. You won't be forgotten. I truly hope that there is a hereafter and, if there is, I'm sure you will get the party started there and we'll all catch up with you in the far future.

Elena and family I wish all the best. I'm with you in my heart. Be strong and try to make it through these days. All the best to you.

Kostas from the White House and Yiannis from Pegasus both paid their respect by sms, after I informed them. It just feels right to repeat this here.

My deepest sympathy goes to Elena and the family...

I just came home from Iran then I heard the shocking news about Torbjörn. I met him for the first time 91 or 92 and since then I have a lot of wonderful memories with him. Allways full practicle jokes and full of energy. A part of me and Ios has died.

My deepest sympathy goes to Elena, family and kids.

R.I.P my friend

We were infomed on this yesterday night, at LOUIS cafe and could not believe in our ears. Unfortunately, the news were true. Don't know what to write, we will miss you Speedy!

RIP my friend. We will light a candle for you this saturday at 21:00 outside the White house.

Our deepest sympathy to Elena and the family.

I write this for Corinne, Max and myself. We were sitting together yesterday with tears in our eyes and saluting to our great friend Speed. Here are some thoughts that we shared: He said, it´s only rock´n roll and then you die. The first part he did and he did it better than anybody, the second part he did now as well, but so much too early, we can´t believe it. Speed is in Pirateheaven now and he will probably meet the real old Pirates from the Carribean. We can hear him saying "OH SHIT" when he sees them. He will take care of business up there, make sure that the bar is open and well staked and that there is Ace of Spades instead of violins. Time is different up there then here. 10 years on earth are like two seconds up there, so he won´t even be able to finish his first beer until the next of us will join him. And we ultimatly we all will.
Speed, we are proud that you called us your friends. You will always be with us in our hearts. Elena, we love you. We are with you and send you energy to get through these times and hopefully you can smile again sometimes.

My Brain is still not working well, but for Saturday, does anyone remember his most favorite Song and Drink?

But I will not drink Ragnarök at home! (Anyway, I fear to remember that he liked Absynth ...)
