The husband passed away tragically and the levaya was this morning. I do not know the family well, but had offered to make challah for Shabbos (I had arranged this with a family friend of thiers). Someone was supposed to come pick it up around 5, but had car trouble and I can't leave to deliver it until DH gets home in about 20 minutes. I would like advice on how to drop it off as I don't really know them (the daughter goes to an exercise class with DD and me) and don't want them to feel obligated to try to interact with me. My concern is that there won't be many people there and I don't want to just drop it and go if they are essentially alone. There have been many people there all day. What should I do, Shabbos is coming!
I had planned on making a call Sunday with my daughter, when I know alot of people will be there. The family is not religious at all.
