I'd like to offer my condolences. I didn't know your wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend personally but heard of her sudden passing thru a co-worker. She told me that her husband had stopped to help a fedex delivery person with some heavy parcels and she was so grateful and kind that he was waiting to help her with her next delivery when she died. I know how sad he has been so I know that her family must be deeply saddened as well. May you find comfort in her memory and may you call upon the god of comfort to be with you.
