I feel so proud, honoured and privileged to have been your friend.
I loved your openness, honesty, warmth and refreshing spirit, and the world was a better place with you in it. You made my life richer, and I miss you terribly.
My life is poorer without you Majken, sleep peacefully my sweetheart.
I want to send my grief to her family, friends and Rich specially.
I met Majken in a kibbutz in Israel...I remember her as a really loving and caring person, very patience teaching me how to improve my terrible english. Fun and sweet that's what I believe she is always gonna be in everybody's heart.
Once again, I'm sorry.
Love for all who had the pleasure
to meet her
We have loved Majken in all these years, and love her still.
She will always be in our hearts and we have thousands of memories in our minds and remember Majken as a beatiful happy girl, especially from her meeting with Rich, and we are so sorry about Rich losing his love already.
Our thoughts are with him in his great sadness. They were such a beautiful couple and loved each other so deeply. We have spent several times all together.
Majken has given us and our two daughters many, many special times of happiness; spending time together with her, both here in our home and with Majken and her family in their home.
We are also very, very sorry about Lisbeth, Thomas and Claus; they have lost a wonderful daughter and sister.
Now we are trying to help Lisbeth bear the great loss of her loved little girl.
My deepest condolences must go out to a wonderful mother Lisbeth, that I came to know well, and everyone else that I'm sure was touched by the hand of someone that was simply wonderful.
Good bye my best friend we will miss you dearly.
You were so cheerful and had the most wonderful open personality. When you came we always prepared ourselves for a good laugh. Majken with her wise and witty words who gave us so many wonderful moments.
Then we both grew up and for some time our lives parted, but we never completely lost contact. A year ago I moved to an apartment and to my surprise I realised that once again I lived almost next door to your mother. This was wonderful news to me.
I started seeing you again and my 2 boys grew very fond of you, Lisbeth and Rich. Especially my eldest boy whose birthday is close to yours.
I hear your steps up the stairs and expect you to ring my doorbell !!
You will always be in our hearts.
Love to Rich, Lisbeth, Thomas and Klaus.
other emails, but since our meeting in England in 1998 I have been
priviliged to be challenged, inspired and encouraged by the bundle of love
which was Majken.
My prayers and thoughts are
with all who mourn, especially Lisbeth, who
along with Majken was a wonderful host when I visited Denmark, I will
be
giving thanks for Majken's life from now on, Majken lived permenant love,
hospitality and acceptance and I will always try to keep those attitudes
alive,
wishing she could be here to share the journey.
Majken, I wish we could have
had one last conversation, to open the old
subjects and laugh at the past. I wish I could have met Rich and you met
Caroline, but wishes are all I have now. Please be in peace.

her. She was laughing on a swing.
Later on I had the pleasure of doing gymnastics with her. She was
always spontaneous and did funny things.
These last years our correspondence has been mostly through e-mail, now
I treasure those greetings. They were always warm and cheerful, and that is
how I will always remember her.
The last time I saw Majken we met in Copenhagen. We started with a beer
on Rådhuspladsen, one of the most joyful evenings I have ever had.
I will always miss her and never understand that she is gone.
It seems absolutely unreal to me that I shall no longer laugh with you Majken. That I shall no longer see your lovely smile or even just sit and have a chat with you. I miss you tremendously and I will never learn to understand why such a fantastic person as you, shall no longer exist on earth. You will always be in my heart and I will always remember you and miss you in ways I have never realized before.
Knowing that Majken was happy,
as she had found the love of her life, has been a comfort for me throughout
this time of grief and it has helped to ease the pain. My thoughts are
with her family and with Rich.
I learned from my sister at the kibbutz (Shiller), that during the short time that Majken spent there, she had indeed big number of good friends, Israelis and European. She is remembered at the Kibbutz as enthusiastic and energetic young volunteer, excellent at work and active in the social life of the Kibbutz and the volunteers community.
The loss is terrible, but may you find some comfort in the fact that she did have many good experiences, more than many people would have in longer life. She travelled and saw places, she met many people, she tried works and ways of living, she enjoyed nature and adventures, she loved and has been loved and experienced real friendship.
I found her to be of the unique kind that dare to dream and dare to follow the dreams to make them happen.
I'll cherish her memory and her warm smile.
May you don't know more sorrow!
The sadness over the loss of
Majken we as family have, will never be easy to live with. Majken gave
us some of her best years of her life; the years where she was growing
up; the years were she grew up to be a young woman. She took care of the
people in her life who did not always seem to have found the best way
in their lives. Also her passion for music, nature, animals and small
insects was very rare to see.
We who were close to Majken will never understand why she was chosen to
pass away that day in Peru, in her very early lifetime. It seems like
the best years lay just ahead, together with her beloved Rich, who, as
she told us, she loved very much.
I will remember her every single day and keep some of the good things
she taught me in my heart, and I have promised myself to think, talk and
write to Majken in the future. I am sure that Majken, as the strong person
she was, will be able to feel that we are thinking of her.
I also believe that her
death must have some message for all of us who knew her. She was one of
the people in my life who made a difference; in the way she was strong
enough to fight for her own ideas and thoughts about the worlds worst
leaders, who went to war deliberately killing people for belief, religion,
oil and money.
Love and big hugs to
my “little one”, Majken, and I am sure we will meet again.
