Sheryl Sanderg returned to work as Facebook held a moment of silence at Hacker Square to honour the untimely death of Dave Goldberg.

The CEO of Survey Monkey passed away in Mexico 10 days ago. According to Re/Code, a Facebook spokesman said that after Sheryl and her family completes a week of shiva and a memorial service at Stanford University, she will resume work at Facebook.

However, she will not be doing any travel-related work and will stick to a new schedule. Sheryl will work while her children are at school.

On May 1, 2015, Dave passed away during a vacation in Mexico. Nayarit State's prosecutor's officer stated that the Silicon Valley entrepreneur died due to severe head trauma.

Sheryl Sandberg posted a heartfelt tribute to honour her husband. In the post, she called him her rock.

"When I got upset, he stayed calm. When I was worried, he said it would be ok. When I wasn't sure what to do, he figured it out. He was completely dedicated to his children in every way - and their strength these past few days is the best sign I could have that Dave is still here with us in spirit," Sandberg wrote in her Facebook post.

Meanwhile, Facebook co-founder and CEO has been by Sheryl's side and supporting her during these testing times.

SurveyMonkey asked Zander Lurie of GoPro to become the temporary executive chairman while the company look for a suitable leader to take Dave's position. SurveyMonkey is looking internally as well externally.
