Woman’s Touching Letters/Wishes Reach Husband and Children 2 Years After Her Death In Time for Christmas(+video)

A mother of four has surprised her children, husband and his new fiancée with heartbreaking Christmas letters two years after her death from ovarian cancer.

Brenda Schmitz was 46 when she passed away in September 2011. As a parting gift, she entrusted a letter to a friend, who remains anonymous, to deliver when the time was right. The letter was addressed to a local Des Moines, Iowa, radio station and contained two other letters; one for her husband David and another for the new love of his life.

A month before she lost her battle to the disease, Schmitz wrote the letter to KSTZ Star 102.5, which runs a Christmas wishes program each year. Listeners send in their Christmas wish letters, and the station elicits the help of sponsors to grant a select few.

Brenda’s wishes were finally revealed two years later when the station brought her husband, David, into the studio and read the note to him on air last week.

“When you are in receipt of this letter, I will have already lost my battle to ovarian cancer,” the letter from Brenda began. “I told [my friend] once my loving husband David had moved on in his life and had met someone to share his life with again, to mail this letter to all of you at the station.”
