I really appreciated notes on his bday, etc. That let me know that others realized how much this loss had affected me. Also, I know that some people think it is more polite to not mention the loss, but I disagree. If it's too hard to express sympathy to the person's face, then I think a note is a wonderful idea. Thanks for your tips. They are great!!!Hiatt Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183645739800501589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-15048134031622522622009-01-13T11:13:00.000-07:002009-01-13T11:13:00.000-07:00Good to know.

The exception would be, like I mentioned, if you were told differently or if it's your immediate, and I do mean immediate family member; then that is left to your discretion.Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734327847680153065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-20372063726661375462009-01-12T13:28:00.000-07:002009-01-12T13:28:00.000-07:00I have a question.

If so, would black still be acceptable?The Masked Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244918814215986695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-35943089593938492962009-01-06T14:41:00.000-07:002009-01-06T14:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for the kind thoughts and tender report. I...Thanks for the kind thoughts and tender report. It's always hard to know what to say or not say. Remembering that it's about the ones left behind helps. Sounds like you learned a lot through this recent experience....thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's unfortunate that the person that found your spelling error could not have focused on the positive things you did print, rather than finding the only error...People are interesting. Keep up the good work and don't let negative comments get you down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-22441053223291578862009-01-06T08:56:00.000-07:002009-01-06T08:56:00.000-07:00No, it was me...having no brain...:-)No, it was me...having no brain...:-)Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734327847680153065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-61895079702397048502009-01-06T08:49:00.000-07:002009-01-06T08:49:00.000-07:00Janine, it's hearse and not hertz -- I'm sure you...Janine, it's hearse and not hertz -- I'm sure you're spelling checker made that change!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
