I don't always put memorial money in a card. Words and gifts come from the heart - not out of obligation.
Sometimes I'll just have the written word, and sometimes a check to the family as a memorial for them to decide later, or sometimes as a check to the place the family has designated for memorials.
Writing out a check is the easy part. Finding the right words can be challenging but also most comforting.
