Two years after her death, woman still tries to one up her husband's new girl

This has been going around FB a bit today. People are calling it sweet, but really?
The guy just got engaged to a new girl and all of a sudden his wife who passed away pops up with a letter from beyond the grave to make herself the center of attention once again.

I don't find it sweet at all, seems like she's hating on the new family, disguised as a charitable act to make her memory last longer.

David Schmitz knew his wife loved him, but she confirmed the depth of her affection and fondness for him and their children with a surprise gift this Christmas — two years after she died from cancer.
The Iowa father of four received the gift after being called into a Des Moines radio station, KSTZ, for a popular, decades-old program held every year in which the station grants Christmas wishes to listeners.
“I didn't have an idea what it was about,” Schmitz told NBC’s Mike Taibbi.
A letter, written two years ago from his wife, had made its way to the radio station and was read on air.
“Hello, my name is Brenda. When you are in receipt of this letter I will have already lost my battle to ovarian cancer,” the letter started.
In the summer of 2011, Brenda had asked a friend to send the letter anonymously to the station once her husband had found a new love, just as she had wished for him. This year, David got engaged to Jayne, who has two children of her own.
Brenda had three wishes on her list, including one for her children’s new stepmother.
“First, for David’s new life-long partner, a day or better yet, a weekend, of pampering in all aspects of her life. She deserves it,” she wrote. “Make her smile, and know her efforts are truly appreciated from me. Thank you. I love you, whoever you are.”
