I'm sorry for your loss.

 

If you're not in control of the account that the link was generated from, it's unlikely that Dropbox will be able to do anything about the link. They wouldn't be able to re-enable a link for an account you don't own. One possibility would be to gain access to the account, if possible. There is no phone support so you'll need to open a ticket. Refer to the following help article for more information.
