We live in a cul-de-sac and a resident has passed away in last few days. I walked past his house without knowing and his wife called hello to me on Tuesday and told me. I really liked him and he never drove past me without asking if I wanted a lift home or wherever I was going, which I always appreciated. DH and myself want to put a card through the door, but I don't feel right just putting it through her door, leaving and letting her get on with her thoughts while opening it.
I only know her as a passing the time of day neighbour, but would it be ok to knock on door and give it to her? She hasn't got any family, and I know it won't be a problem chatting to her for a few mins as she's naturally chatty. She hasn't been shutting herself away as car has been off drive last two days (she wouldn'[t be working this week as hols) and I'm fairly sure she's been to tip today.
