3. I'm sorry that a death in your wife's family has interfered with your vacation plans.

That is a bummer.

Wakes and funerals and memorial services are for the living. I'm at the age where they are coming more frequently. My husband is losing
friends on a regular basis. It will mean a lot to someone in your wife's family that she was there, probably her mother or father--whoever was
the sister or brother of her uncle--and it's never wrong to show kindness, love, and empathy when someone you love loses someone close
to them.
