I'm really sorry. Having been there recently with my brother's death, let me offer a piece of advice: you don't have to wait to talk to his mom. Right now she probably really needs to hear from people who knew her son, needs to know that there are people who remember him, people whose lives he touched. Waiting isn't going to make it any easier for her, and you might forget or lose touch again, or the impulse to comfort her might just fade. And if the boy's dad is being an ass she probably needs people that much more right now.
