Should I say something to a family member that did a bad thing?
My grandfather is very sick, and his wife got hurt and couldn’t take care of him for a couple of months. And my aunts live only 1 hr from him. And they wouldn’t even take time to go help him out and find a nurse to come and take care of him. So my mom flew 3000 miles to go help out. And my aunts excuse was she had a house party to throw and she couldn’t miss it. And than she is going on vacation. Should I send an email telling her how crappy she is? Or should I just send her a dead fish? Or should I ignore it?

Ignore it. Anything that you do, beyond that will eventually be thrown in your face, by someone else in the family. Your family probably knows how wrong your aunt was, but they will defend her, if she is threatened.
Let your mom handle your aunts, but you tell your mom how you notice what a good thing she did to take care of your grandfather when it wasn’t so easy to do. It’s more important to support your mom than it is to comment to your aunts.
All things come around, and they’ll get their own dead fish one way or another. It’s called karma.
You’re a good person to want to come to your mom’s defense.
Take care, sweetie.
