Careful when refering to a widow as 'Ms'. Many widows continue to use Mrs Hislastname for years after being widow 'in tribute' to their husband. At least in my experience.

In fact, I know of a woman who was widowed at a very young age and then remarried years later who then went by Mrs. FirstHusbandLastName-SecondHusbandLastName.
