Re: Need help asap please


Several sentences in the card, or a separate letter included in the card would be both appropriate and welcome. I'm sure she would very much appreciate to hear how much he meant to you.

See below about how to address her. Hope this helps:


It really depends on how traditional you wish to be. Although commonly seen, addressing an envelope for a widow as Mrs. Jane Doe is not really proper. However, you can put Ms. Jane Doe. If using "Mrs." for a widow, the proper format is Mrs. John Doe.

Q. Does a married woman's name differ from the form a widow uses?

A. No. A woman who is currently married and a widow generally use the same form, "Mrs. George Yost." A widow may use her first name if she wishes, but then she may be mistaken for a divorc‚e. Many older women prefer to continue using their husband's name.
