We just found out that my husband's cousin lost his 20 something daughter. It was sudden and not expected. She is thought to have had a brain aneurysm.

They live across the country, so we cannot attend any funeral. I know my husband will call him.

I am more casually acquainted with him, but we have had much recent e-mail correspondence about his mother's (my husband's aunt) recent medical issues. How ironic in life - she is 80 something, and her dear granddaughter is now dead.

I wanted to write him an e-mail to acknowledge his daughter's passing. I don't even expect him to respond, but I want him to hear from me somehow. I will send a written card later.

Seems like etiquette is different with instant e-mail correspondence, but I don't want to do ANYTHING in poor taste.

Does this seem in bounds to do?
