[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if there are different last names? Can't write "The Smith Family" b/c the mom has a different name (and it's her family member who passed).[/quote] When my father died, lots of people sent sympathy cards to me, to my family. I didn't care one whit whether they used my maiden name or married name, or sent a pre-printed card, wrote it themselves, or hand-whittled it from stone they grew organically. I was just touched that people cared for me when I was hurting. [/quote] Yeah, when FIL passed away card etiquette wasn't quite a concern. OP, I've seen various ways of addressing the card. If you like you could address it to the person you are closest to on the envelope, and include the family inside. No matter how you go about it though, they will know your thoughts are with them.[/quote]
