Here is a book that has an assortment of sample sympathy cards and thank you notes, along with etiquette guidelines for note writing. It gives examples so that anyone could appropriately express feelings of sympathy or thanks. There are categories for just about every occasion, including weddings, bar mitzvahs, hospitality situations, graduations, confirmations, baby shower gifts, and sympathy sentiments. This book, Easy Etiquette, makes the job of writing thank-you notes a bit easier.

Today is a difficult day for many. Each of us handles our memories and grief in various ways, some publicly and others privately. Personally, I cannot bear to watch the never-ending television broadcasts and will not even turn on the TV today. Memories still very vivid – I will be in tears all day anyway. One way to memorialize those loved ones who have been lost is through the site Legacy.com.

There is a special section where you can leave a “Moving Tribute” to a friend or loved one who was lost on 9/11, as well as share your memories with others through their 11 Days of Remembrance link. This is beautifully put-together site and a wonderful way memorialize a tragic loss that we will never forget. Here’s the link – www.legacy.com/Sept11/Home.aspx
