It was just the actual donate form that was is Swedish but I've just found that if you click on the question mark by the side of each box it gives a translation.

Please send my condolences.
Dear Jason,
I'm Lim Sin Siang, Gustav was working on my guitar when he passed as told to me by Sharleen. I have sent my condolences to Sharleen via Facebook message. But I do not know the rest of the family. So if possible since you are there, please send my condolences to the rest of the family. Hope that they stay strong during this period. Gustav was a good man. Thank you. p.s. I've tried to donate to the site but the same sweedish form came up for me as well. Guess I'll ask them for a donation form in english if possible. |

Mr. Siang,
I will see if I can get a better link, or at least some information regarding a donation. I will definitely pass on your condolences to the family, as well as those of the whole community here on AGF. It is a very sad and difficult time for everyone that knew Gustav, but it has also been truly incredible to see, and experience first hand, the outpouring of support and kind words from many of the men and women on the AGF... many of whom never knew Gustav personally. He touched a lot of people with his work, and I know that the family and Sharleen greatly appreciate everyone's kind words, thoughts and prayers. Respectfully, Jason Kostal |

Here is the most recent update for anyone interested.
Anyone wishing to donate to Suicide Zero and is having problems doing so through their website can donate via wire transfer using the following information: BIC SWEDSESS IBAN SE 8000 0890 1193 4545 9458 The IBAN is essentially the account number in this case. Also, if anyone is interested in writing notes to the family, or memorial messages to Gustav, they can do so by emailing [email protected] and they will print them out and provide them to the family. Thank you again for everyone's support, and thank you to the moderators for allowing me to post this unpleasant news on the forum. Respectfully, Jason Kostal |

Jason is in Sweden now, and he just posted a simply beautiful and sadly poignant photo on the Book of Face, which I will re-post here.
Thank you for this, Jason.

Jason, thanks for all you're doing. I got to know Gustav last year at the Sarzana Festival in Italy where we were exhibiting next to each other for three days and was deeply shocked by his death.

a big thank you
Hi folks,
Some of you know me and some maybe not, but I am Gustav's girlfriend, fellow luthier, shop-mate, partner, etc. I just wanted to write a quick note and thank you for all your kind words about Gustav. It is so wonderful to hear how well liked and respected he was not only as a guitar-builder but as a person. I also want to thank all of you who have offered your support to me during this time while I grieve and begin the process of starting my shop and life over on my own back in Canada. I am endlessly grateful. I hope to see you all in person sometime soon (perhaps at Woodstock or Holy Grail), so I can meet and thank you all in person. xo take care, Sharleen |

Indeed, a colleague of mine took his own life this last weekend. It's a sad indictment that this act seems to be increasingly popular in the world we live in. In happier times, I do hope that I will be able to play one of your wonderful guitars. Cheers, Steve |
