WWIND? -- Condolences
My mother called with the news that the most senior partner of the law firm I worked for in the US had passed away over the weekend. The funeral is set for today. I plan on making a donation to the law school, as requested by the family.
But I have another etiquette question. The only member of his family I ever knew was his son, who predeceased him. I never met his wife, and she never met me -- she was not in good health and never came to or called the office as long as I worked there. I doubt she would even know my name. So, do I send a condolence card to her? Do I send one to the firm? I'm just not sure what to do in this instance.
I don't mind being held to a higher standard; I mind being held to a lower one.

Re: WWIND? -- Condolences
Agree. And if you can share some anecdote or a general impression (he was always the first to help me out in a pinch) or whatever, that can be very meaningful. Sometimes when we lose someone, it helps to know that others appreciated that loved one too, and that his/her life had a positive impact on others.
This.
