... Are you looking for some glimmer of acknowledgement from them, that their MAGAness has cost them a condolence for their loss of Mr Ninga? Is there a hierarchy to the response based on who passed? For example: would you have sent a card for loss of an infant but only a silent nod on the loss of a parent, and nothing at all for a cat you've known by name for years?

An inquiring mind has a passing interest.

Look! A squirrel!
