Catholic etiquette question

A co-worker sent me a card saying that a "memorial gift and a request that my loved one be remembered in daily masses and prayers have been made to the priests of [her church]." 

Should I send her a thank-you card?  Or is this a very common thing that Catholics would do that doesn't really require a card, like putting a dollar in the box and lighting a candle?

I'd send a ty.

Yep.  It's usually around $25 or more for a mass. Even if she only did one mass, it's a TY-worthy amount.

It's TY worthy.  It's not just about the amount - but the meaning behind it.  It's fairly common among Catholics, but it's definitely a deeper gesture than a regular condolence card.

Okay, thanks guys.

This is very common in the Catholic church.  During prayer they state names of those who have recently passed before a moment of silence.  I'm Catholic and I've never heard of someone giving money in thank you.  A card would be nice
