In April, my cousin (my mom's nephew) unexpectedly died. My mom did a lot for my uncle in terms of helping him set up the funeral & received help from others (ex. her friends, her neighbors, etc.) One of those ppl was her neighbor "Rose". In May, I graduated from college. A couple weeks ago, my mom held a grad. party for me at her house. "Rose" came over, gave me a card with $ in it, & contributed a fruit platter to the party. I am now writing my thank you cards to all those who came & gave gifts. When I mentioned this to my mom, she said she wanted me to include in "Rose's" card a thank you for her contribution to my cousin's funeral. I feel awkward doing so, because I feel my mother should have sent her a thank you card herself since she was the 1 setting up the funeral & is the 1 who wants to thank "Rose". I was just going to thank "Rose" for my grad. present, the fruit, & for coming to the party. Do you think mom should write her own ty note or should I include her thanks in mine?
