I'm looking for a reality check.

My longtime partner died last December. Since her death, every couple of months I've gotten emails from two of her friends asking for a "check in" / "how are you doing" type of update. I don't dislike these people... but I barely know them.. I only met them a couple of times while my partner was alive.

I'm sure they have the best of intentions by sending me these emails but they just ring hollow / superficial to me - they were her friends, not mine. They certainly don't "know" me in any real way(s), and I'd just as soon not get any further correspondence from them.

Am I the Asshole for feeling this way? To my mind, if someone's going to reach out to me personally to try to offer support / comfort it'd mean much more if we had some sort of real personal pre-existing connection. Would it be rude for me to simply tell them to stop contacting me?
