RStar~ my sympathies.
I am also sorry, I did not know about your mother in law. This is going to be a tough one, ease the information on her. How did you find out? Might she find out on her own? {{{hugs}}} to you for strength to deal with this.
A call to Jean, a card. Let her know you are here for her and how much you know her husband is going to be missed. It is true, she will receive a lot of 'obligatory' calls but the ones where she knows you know what she is going through, well, that would mean a lot. Now, but then again, like Morri said, after when the calls probably will have stopped.
