Condolence Card?

CherryHugs — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 16:41:40 GMT

I like to send cards to family & friends.

My StepMom lost her Sister this weekend and I have no idea if its appropriate for me to send her a card?

Her Sister was my Aunt and I will miss her so much. Even though we all havent been a StepFamily for a long time.

Having never been part of a StepFamily before I dont know how alot of stuff works.

Your thoughts please?

Of course it's appropriate, especially if you include a short message of remembrance.

Thank you for your messages. I wasnt sure since she was my Family too even if not for a long time.. I sure would put a special message in.

A sympathy card is always appropriate when a death occurs. Please send the card with a personal note of how much you thought of your Aunt. If posible, a check to her favorite charity (in her memory) would also be a thoughtful gesture.

Thank you, I appreciate your condolences too. She will be so missed.

She was a special lady to me and we sent each other a card at Christmas when most of the family didnt send to me. And we kept in touch with texts too.

Being kind and thoughtful is never wrong.

Why would it be?

@CherryHugs. 8 often send condolence cards to friends, business contacts, etc. It doesnt have to be family. It can be anyone you want to know you're thinking about them.

I think a condolence card is always appropriate. When my brother in law died even though I was there with my sister at the hospital I still sent her a card.

Yes! Please send the card and I'm sure you will compose a lovely, thoughtul message.

I am so sorry for your loss.

My husband and I sent a card to his buddy's wife a few years back.

She had lost her mother.

She was so appreciative of receiving that from us that she sent us

a thank you for remembering her mother card back to us.

It is always nice to be remembered.
