Hello,

Is there a best practice that says how to refer to gifts from a former Mr. and Mrs. but the husband is deceased.  Is it correct to continue to use "Mr. and Mrs. His First and Last Name" or do you change to "Mrs. Her first and his last name?"  Or is it just a matter of preference.

I would be interested in other peoples comments.

Regards,

Gail
