If they really can't find her, they should peruse the obits for her husband. Edit: 3 downvotes and a bizarre reply to my comment about sexism. From the article, "He feels badly because the woman said her husband had died a couple of months earlier". How is my comment sexist? And how would you find the woman?
HN's sexism at work as usual... The title of this submission is already pretty sexist. Had it been a man, his gender would not have been mentioned.
