Death waits for nothing, not even a simcha
I got the call informing me of my mother's death about four hours later.
The synagogue president was kind enough to pick up the cake, and the kiddush took place as scheduled, but I wasn't there.
Yes, the date of a Yahrzeit (anniversary of a death) is determined by the Jewish calendar, not the secular one. But somehow, I don't think our wedding anniversary is ever going to feel quite the same.

May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Thank you, Woodrow.
Ha makom y'nachem etchem...
May her memory be a blessing, and may the association on future anniversaries be a remembrance of all the good things she brought to your life.
That's a good way of looking at it. I'll try to keep that in mind.
