Question about sending sympathy card

I think my situation is fairly straightforward, I just don’t want to come across as rude. Thank you for your patience in helping me work this out.

My aunt’s husband (my uncle) passed away in his late 80s. I didn’t really like the guy, but I feel badly for my aunt and the pain and suffering and grief that she is going through now so I wanted to send her my condolences in a card.

A separate fact is that I’m married and she’s never met my husband. That’s not intentional — our lives just haven’t overlapped since the passing of my father (my aunt’s brother).

When I send my condolences in a card, should it be from just me, or me and my spouse?

ETA: I definitely AM sending the card, I just needed clarification from my fellow etiquette experts on how to sign it. My apologies if that wasn’t clear.
