i opened the envelope and pulled out the card. on the outside was: gratefully acknowledging and thanking you for your kind expression of sympathy the inside of the card was handwritten and went: michael, thank you for your gift in lieu of flowers. thank you for your presence at dad's funeral love, janice & the ron lopez family i don't know any of these people. i looked up "ron lopez" in the phonebook and found 4 (among the 3 pages of lopezes). i looked up my name and found one other mike g. - maybe the confused me with him. rest in peace, mr. lopez. |

on closer inspection, the name in the card is "janie" not "janice". i don't know what i'm supposed to do. the other michael couldn't have been that close to the family if they got his address wrong. |
Is there an address for the other mike in the phone book? Maybe you can forward him the card. These kinds of things hit me in the gut for some reason. Reminds me of how i threw away my lunchbag apple every day in 5th grade. |

maybe you should just post the return address and encourage people to send sympathy cards. |
