my grandma died in April, and lots of the people at my dad's work who knew sent us flowers and stuff. that was nice, knowing they cared like that, even though our house looked like a florists' after a while. but, this guy he works with who's come to dinner a few times when he's in town, lives farther away, and he sent roses- but he sent a part of the stock thing or something, so we could plant it ourselves, which was nice, because every time we see it, we think of how they care about us so much. for my grandma, we said that in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to a place that was trying to find a way to cure parkinson's, which she had. maybe they are doing that? if you were close friends, you could make an album of pictures of your family and them, they'd always appreciate that. or you could make up a book thing, where you ask everyone who knew her to write a letter or something, telling how she affected their lives. whatever you do, though, even if it is just flowers, they will really appreciate knowing that you care!

Anything would be wonderful at this time of need. What you can do is you can get the office that you work at to contribute some money and then you can send your bosses family flowers for the funeral.

Their are going through grief. Giving them something is a beat too much to at the moment. There is almost no room to take it things.
Perhaps you can help to ease the pain, by being there, even giving them a hug meant something to your boss and family.
Cheers

Walk around a card store with gifts in it. If you see something that would be sentimental to you in a time like his, grab it up. Anything with the fragrance of jasmine is relaxing, but be careful that whatever you buy isn't too girly because that just might bring back memories.

Sorry to hear about your loss. But...Food. Make some Lasagne or something they can heat up quick, they will never forget the thought. Easy meal for the grieving. They don't care about food or cooking you can make thier life easier by serving up a good meal.

Bring over some food. Noboby is going to feel like cooking. So make something that's easy to grab.

sure, it somewhat is whilst i replaced into nonetheless married. I used to have plant life introduced to her at paintings. yet no longer in basic terms for specific events, each and every as quickly as in awhile i could have plant life introduced to her "only as a results of fact". The "only as a results of fact" replaced into only as a results of fact I enjoyed her. She constantly made a giant deal out of it, and looked as though it may somewhat savor it, so i in my opinion enjoyed doing it. If she hadn't have left me for some guy she met in a bar, i could nonetheless be sending her plant life. Hmmmmmmm, i contemplate whether the guy she met interior the bar ever sends her plant life. i'm hoping no longer, as she no longer merits them.

Yourself. Most people just want family and friends at a time like this.
