Unexpected death
There's this girl who I used to really care about, but am no longer close to. She calls me out of the blue, after LSU lost to Georgia so I'm already pissed. She tells me that her baby sister who was just a few months old died of SIDS. Even though I really don't like this girl anymore(ok I hate her), I still feel awful for her family. Her family never did me wrong and I was wondering how I should go about the situation. A card? Flowers? I really don't know,b/c I haven't been around death that much.

I think a nice, tasteful sympathy card is the best thing. You can buy flowers too, but they are not necessary as you were not close to the family. btw, traditional funeral flowers are lilies, I think, but you could ask the florist if there's different flowers for when it's a baby that died.

A sympathy card expressing your condolences would be good. I would address it to the family. Just make sure to write a short personal message in it. Something to the effect of "I'm sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts." will work.

I think you should get them a card maybe write something really nice and thoughtful in it and I dont know if you should get flowers because funeral flowers r very very expensive from like 200-700 dollars. But I am not sure. Since you don't really know the babysitter maybe you should get them a card for there loss

a card would be nice, write something simple like "truly sorry to hear about your loss, i hope you and your family are holding up okay, sincerely, X" flowers might be too much. just give her a hug/pat on the back/"i'm sorry" when you see her.

Go for both. Send a card and flowers. It shows that you care, whether you honestly do or not. lol. ;]
