So sorry to hear of your Wife and mother's passing. May you feel God's arms around you comforting and strengthening each one. I have many memories of Liz cooking and serving lunch when I was in school. She had a warm smile and was a cheerful woman. Cherish the memories that you have of her.
God Bless~
