Do you thank dead people?
For Bad Rich Chick
From a new mom trying to write thank you notes:
Quote:
Here's a knotty etiquette question for you.
We recently got a lovely package of clothes from our landlord, and one from his mother. (Who is in the hospital dying of cancer.) The package from his mother was clearly arranged by the landlord.
Well, thank yous are definitely owed! But last time [husband] talked to our landlord, his mother was in the process of dying. We haven't heard anything since. I suspect she has died.
Um, do I send her a card since I haven't been officially notified? Do I combine thank yous and ambiguously word them? HELP!
