Bonnie when my husband died, his mother put a notice in the local newspaper where she lives (and where we used to live) and didn't mention me!! Our two children, his deceased brother and two living sisters all rated a mention. Of course, many people whom we hadn't seen or heard of for many years since moving from that area, just assumed we had separated. Always knew she didn't like me!!
