Sympathy Thank You Etiquette

A friend of my mother just lost her teenage son a few weeks ago, he passed away in his sleep.
She sent us a card of congratulations us on our marriage. Is it proper etiquette to say thank you and that "we are sorry to hear about your son in the same grade for it?

Send note as a sympathy card. Basically, you can write that you are extremely grateful that she was thinking of you at the midst of his own pain.

I want to send a separate card. It would be one thing if it was her great-aunt, but it's a big loss. You want to keep the thank you to separate from his devastating loss if possible. I want to send the sympathy card first though, even if that means thank you take a bit late. I doubt she would care, and you do not want to thank you without any mention of his son to arrive first.

No.

Send a "Thank You" for the gift card and everything was sent, and send a second card of sympathy to the mother, to express your feelings for her and all the help you can offer.

Keep the feelings and occasions.

It will most likely keep all the cards of sympathy. It would be wrong to have a "Thank You" in the bunch.

I do not know what would be "good" but I do not want. I want to send a condolence card separate. I am certainly not trying to point fingers, but you've probably already had to send one. I understand that planning a wedding is stressful, but if she finds the time to send a congratulatory card after her loss, you should be able to find time to send two separate cards (or have already sent a).

As far as I know, there is no official rule on this label. But I am impressed by the advice of my fellow posters give. Send two separate cards - sympathy first, and thank you note to arrive at a later date. sympathy cards are comforting in a time of tragedy, and it is preferable not to have that as a reference in a thank you note.

If she sent a card, then I send him a note, but never a thank you note printed on the card. I want to send a plain card of some type and write him a sweet note saying how sorry you are on the death of his son, etc. etc. and told that it means so much to you that it has sent a congratulatory note your marriage.

If she sent a gift, thank you to send a separate card of sympathy.

That would really not a very good idea. You must send a heartfelt sympathy card ASAP. Then send a thank you card in a few days. In this way, it will not be so obvious. You should not write something like that in a thank you note. It would raise a bad thing at the wrong time. Two totally different things ... you need two separate cards for different times. Sorry

I do not think there is a lot for this priority. However, its better safe than sorry. it is really worth the cost of a card and postage make a gaffe like that? Send a sympathy card separate. Its better than unintentionally hurting her feelings. She did not need it now ...

If it were me I send two separate cards. A thank you and condolence. I can not see in thanking her for the happiest day of your life, and sympathy for the saddest day of his life on the same note. They are so contradictory.

I do not want. It is a happy occasion, the other a tragedy. Spend the extra money to send a few cards of condolence separately.

I would make two separate cards. I would send sympathy first and Mercy. This way it wont look like your just saying sorry because she said bravo. But send the sorry one day and the next day they arrive in Thank you for one day apart.

No, it is not, try to send another card. Am (additional message) I'm sorry to hear of th.
