NoHall, I have sent thank you's for thank you's before--there are times when it's just "right".

Perhaps he is a little lonely right now and could use a little note or a quick visit and a plate of cookies. Those closest to the deceased are usually alone in their grief. The rest of us may be sad, but soon get over it and get on with our lives. It is obvious that he thinks daily of his wife.
Agreed with all; most especially CCK.... Speaking from TOO MUCH experience; even in the Church; time changes and people forget.... One NEVER forgets the emotional/psychological pain of loosing a loved one;
Seems after a few weeks people forget and carry on as usual; loosing your spouse is probably the most complicated thing in the world; remembering those who made the closure complete and special usually lasts a lifetime
Follow your instincts NH!

That's beautiful! The last funeral I had to arrange, I had an old black man sing a couple of spirituals acapella. It was awesome.

Definitely keep it for yourself. You deserve it, or he would not have sent it. You obviously gave him a memory he cherishes and was comforted by your selections.
He might have even wanted to give you more initially, which he indicated in his note, and was not able to at that time. However he might be in a position now where he is and wants you to have it.
A note letting him know you recieved the note and how much it meant to you would be greatly appreciated I am sure.
Since he sent this to you on the one year of the service I am sure it meant alot to him to do this for you.

hmmmm......can't remember
I especially liked the suggestion about the plate of cookies. He lives in a retirement village just two miles from me, and even though I'm sure he has people around him I got the feeling from the note that this first anniversary is hitting him hard.
I knew I asked the right bunch. Thank you all for chiming in!

How wonderful for you to know just how much your playing meant to him! I think the advice to send him a note/visit because he is probably lonely is right on the money. Warm fuzzies all around!
