STDs are addressed and ready to be mailed out tomorrow. For couples we put "Mr and Mrs xxxx" and for the family we put "The xxxx Family". Is this incorrect? FMIL was confused why they were addressed...

My grandmother passed away today. She was one of my favorite people in the world and her and I are so similar in so many ways. It still doesn't feel real. I moved down to Florida from NY 5 years ago...
