Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam,
asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tsivanu l’hadlik ner shel Hanukkah.

When we say this blessing I always think of the miracle of lights:
lights give life, the people endured and survived.

The fact your ex left the planet on such a holy occasion, and a celebration of
God's love, survival, endurance is a message to her family and her last gift.
