Of course not. It's best not to mention anything about the anniversary, chances are that they are already thinking the spouse throughout the day of their anniversary, they don't need it brought up by anyone else. It is certainly appropriate to acknowledge their anniversary. I'm not sure saying 'Happy Anniversary' is appropriate, but they will be gratified to know that you realize what the day means to them and they are both your thoughts. Something along the lines of "I know it is your anniversary. I miss him/her, too." Don't ignore it or whitewash it. It is a painful time and your support helps. It depends on the person whose spouse passed away. Unless the widow/widower brings it up then yes, I do think it's inappropriate because their mate has passed on. If the widow/widower brings it up then say what a wonderful person their spouse was and congratulate them on their anniversary. There are spouses that even when death knocks at their door they are spouses forever. To send a card on an anniversary when the spouse is diseased isn't appropriate either and could well cause pain for the widow/widower. It's best to visit the person and let them do the talking about all the wonderful memories they had with their spouse and how much they miss them.

It is never proper to greet someone by reminding them of a death no matter how many years ago the death took place. If the person acknowledges the death of a loved one on the annual basis it is simply best to show support and if something must be said it should be a significant memory or impression that the lost loved one had on your life.
