I agree. A card or note and some food is a good idea. I'd suggest food that can go in the freezer and be tossed in the oven, like a casserole. I make lasagne or enchilladas.
Best thing I got after my finace's death was a chicken casserole thing. You're totally out of touch with your body, but when you're hungry, summoning up the energy to cook is impossible. That frozen thing was a godsend a few days after he died and I realized I hadn't eaten. Into the oven for 30 minutes and I scarfed down about half of it.
Another friend sent one of those gift baskets with a pasta dinner in it. It needed more preparation, but came in really handy if you didn't want to go over there in person.
Good for you for being a great neighbor! I wish you moved in next to me!
