[quote=Anonymous][quote]You do realize we are not talking about a small family or 3 or 4 people. All of the relatives on MIL's side, ALL of the relatives on FIL's side (both large families and geographically spread out) and the extended family my SIL married into (Jewish) also behaves the same way. [b]My inlaws drove 4 hours to attend the funeral of their daughter's husband's great aunt, a woman they had never met[/b].[/quote]

When my grandmother died I was touched by every single person who showed up but extra touched by people who fell into one of these three categories:

1. Hi Lauren. I know we haven't seen each other since kindergarten, but your sister's college roommate's brother's ex girlfriend is FB friends with me so I found out about it. I'm so sorry about your grandma.
2. Hi Lauren. My name is Gloria. You don't know me, but your grandma was my second-grade teacher in the 60's and she helped me through a very difficult time and then stayed in touch with me even after I moved to Canada. I am so sad your grandma died. 
3. Hi Lauren. My name is Ruth. You don't know me, and I didn't know your grandma, but she helped my daughter Gloria through a very difficult time many decades ago, and my husband I came from Canada with her to express our condolences in person. [/quote]
