I'm sad for their whole family. On the eve of such overwhelming joy that now must be bittersweet at best.
I haven't followed the story closely, so I can only hope that the Grandmother's death was long-anticipated and, in fact, is seen more as a release from a tragic illness than as a terrible cut-off from life. In that way, perhaps the family will be grieving slightly less when meeting the triumph that tomorrow likely brings.
