Sympathy card etiquette?
The husband of a very involved member of my local alumnae association passed away recently after a long illness. I wasn't able to get to the funeral, but would like to show sympathy from our alum group (of which I am president). In lieu of flowers, the family has asked donations be made to one of three different charities, so I'm planning on a small donation to one of those.
Do I need to mention so in the card? Do I send the card directly to her house? What exactly *do* I write in the card? Is it strange I'm sending it on behalf of our alum group? I'm not even 30 yet, so I don't have the most experience having to send sympathy cards.
