You and your relatives are saddened for sure, but let this not be a time of grieving, but a time of celebrating your sister in law's life and the memories you and your family shared with her.
(thats my sentence)
I'm sure she would rather have you remembering the times you shared with her than suffering. Do not suffer on her behalf, for while it was you who took a loss, she is now in a greater place than she ever was before, and would not want you to be saddened.
All things come to pass. It's what we do in the time we are given that actually counts.-Gandalf (The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King)
Peace, dude rachums107

This is not an entry in the contest. I hope my English will help me to express my real feelings. I have two daughters about the same age and my father died when I was 12 so I can really feel what they are going through. First please accept my sincere condolences to you Bruce and to your brother.
Your sister-in-law will sure be missed by your family, but you will always see her in the eyes of her two angels. Cherish them and give them all the love that you have. Talk to them a lot about her and tell them how great their mother was.
Always tell them that they look like her and that they have a lot in common with her. They will always feel that she is still around.
I have a lot to say, but I know that no words can compensate your loss.... my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to you and your family.

I mean no offense by sharing this religious poem, it has helped me through some of my darkest times when I felt alone and hurt.... I'm sure many here know or have heard of this poem, it is called Footprints...
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."

SilentAsian4Hire, like most of the replies before me, my post is also not for contest entry, but merely as a coin family to share in your grief and loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family.  Words I always think about when faced with difficult times is: Aut viam inveniam aut faciam - "I will find a way, or I will make one"

sorry to hear.

I've found this phrase can be used in many situations.

This is not meant as a contest entry. I just wanted to express my condolences for your loss. Keeping her memory alive will make sure she is always remembered. From what I can tell, your nieces have a thoughtful uncle who loves them very much. The very fact you have gone on a positive note and made this contest in her memory shows this.
May God bless you and your family at this time.

"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
Bless you and your family, in time of need, Remember what, Was..Is and always will be!
