Would be a religious card from me even if I wasn't religious...if she is.
Other wise a blank card with a nice picture and you writing in the style only you can about her and the length of time and changes that will always happen. Maybe the strength we gain through the difficult times in our lives and ...
If there is anything we can do...because there might be and that would be help of the best kind.

A personal visit would mean more to her. Not some stupid card

Consolations from the heart never need to have a religious tone...lots of ways to write to show love and appreciation.

Yeah I get it, something impersonal is more in line with him.

Perhaps to make it personal he can give her a pedicure with those big goofy looking hands.

Bob and Andy have the right idea.

Let me add that illness isolates. The idea that her home isn't as it should be demoralizes. Proactively set up a cleaning once she is in the blades, and from there just tell her you'll be calling each month, in case she needs a touch up.

You may get an appreciative rejection, but do it anyway. People who actually take time to visit or do for shut ins are very few and far between. Be one.

Flowers are usually appreciated. Let Paula pick them out and make she is able to receive them when delivered. A cute sympathy card expressing your hopes for a full recovery.

Just reaching out in anyway tonlet her know she's not alone will mean the world.

There is no "wrong" thing to do in this situation. Just do what feels right/natural to YOU and know it will be appreciated.

Thank you Meg, you beat any of the suggestions I sent to Mike.

My mother lost her father and her second husband in a year's time. She told me something about that experience, and the comfort people extended, that has stuck with me for 20 years.

"I don't remember a thing anyone told me at the funeral home, in their cards, or when they visited. I was in too much emotional turmoil to process words.
I just remember that they were there, or that they sent them. That's what counted."
