My bridal shower was this past Saturday and I am writing my thank you notes right now. I had a family friend (she is my mom's best friend, I have known her my entire life) miss my shower as her brother in law died that day. I completely understand why she missed, but I still want to send her a thank you note as I did get a gift from her. Should I mention anything about her loss in the note, or keep it purely related to thanking her for the gift?
