Ya, my mother made sure I sat down and penned thank-you notes in an appropriate time. Sad, to say, they probably weren't so sincere. LOL.<br /><br />Can't recall the last time I received a written TY card, but still appreciate getting a 'shout-out' via e-mail or on Facebook even.<br /><br />PS -- HB to you, HB to you, HB dear Jaaaaaack, HB-daaaaay to youuuuuu! :)Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-42245441540101385472015-01-17T06:50:27.226-05:002015-01-17T06:50:27.226-05:00I too have had to do all those things including th...I too have had to do all those things including thank you notes. It is often tough to find the correct addresses for everyone too. Still I appreciate a thank you when I get one so I made sure they got sent out. Funny how in a world where a lot of etiquette has been forgotten, for funerals it remains the same.

All I had to worry about was the tombstone and there was no hurry with that. As for thank you notes, I do like to receive one if I have sent money and just like to know the proper person got it. I'm noticing more people don't send them. My grandkids were prodded to send them but now that they are on their own, not so much.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-58512860497853832672015-01-16T09:43:46.145-05:002015-01-16T09:43:46.145-05:00I agree with what you are saying, Jack.

I think the formality of thank you notes can be an option rather than a "must do" under the discretion of the family that has lost the loved one. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
