OK, at the risk of sounding insensitive, I don't buy and send sympathy cards any more. For that matter, I don't buy and send many birthday cards either ... or friendship cards, holiday cards, get well cards, etc. Truth is, these cards can be insanely expensive -- up to $3 or $4 a pop. They contain "canned" messages and are tossed as soon as they're read.
Instead, I write letters or short notes ... for birthdays, weddings, holidays and, yes, in sympathy. The notes and letters express my own sentiments exactly as I want to say them, they save me a trip to the store, and they are the cost of a piece of paper, an envelope and a stamp.
I think they're way better and much cheaper.
