[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Formally and traditionally, she is and always will be Mrs. John Smith - unless of course she marries again.[/quote] That is outdated. For this, OP should address the card to [Aunt's First Name] [Aunt's Last Name]. If you must, use Mrs. [Aunt's First Name] [Aunt's Last Name]. [b]When extending sympathy, a reminder of the person she just lost is a terrible practice. [/b] So calling her Mrs. [Uncle's First Name] [Uncle's Last Name] is just insensitive in this situation.[/quote] It's not like she will forget. That's silly. [/quote] Of course she isn't going to forget. But [b]waving[/b] it in front of her face while she is in mourning is a little insensitive. There's nothing wrong with calling her Jane Smith instead of Mrs. John Smith is better. [/quote] Ugh. Corrected typo. Was using waiving in emails earlier and obviously still have it on my mind.[/quote]
