" I received a lot of cards and letters after my mother died. Do I need to acknowledge all of them? It&amp;#039;s customary to write a brief note to each person who sent you personal condolences as well as to those who contributed flowers, made a donation to a charity in your mother&amp;#039;s name, or arranged for a mass card. (Preprinted sympathy cards without personal messages don&amp;#039;t need to be acknowledged.) Some people draw comfort from writing these kinds of thank-yous, but if you are feeling overwhelmed, enlist a friend or relative to help out. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
