What is the Proper Etiquette When Sending a Card to a Friend who's Father has Passed?

[romantico]

I just learned that a friend of mine lost his father about 3 weeks ago. Anyone know what etiquette allows for sending a Sympathy card? 3 Weeks to me sounds like a long time and I don't want to open wounds if they are just getting over his loss. Thanks!

1. I think a sympathy card now is fine.

2. Never too late - write

a little note in it.

3. Yes, the note should indicate that he just learned about the death. n/t

4. Thanks

Thanks! We live in an era where everyday etiquette is really not practiced. We do what we want when we want and follow our own rules and wanted to make sure. I know there must be a cut off (a month? 3 months? 6 months?) 3 weeks sounds good though. Thanks again!
