The entire will would have to be reviewed before your question can be answered. However, if she has died and both of you are still alive, it does not matter as "per stirpes" language only applies if one of the heirs is dead. Please do not interpret the next sentence as an indication of an answer to your question. However, if she is still alive, it would not hurt to have the language clarified in order to limit interpretation.
