Sympathy card sayings, bereavement poems, quotes on grief for you to use on cards or letters expressing condolence messages.
Sometimes it is difficult to find exactly the right words to express your sympathy to someone on the loss of their loved one. You want to strike a balance between being genuinely sympathetic but not over-doing the emotion.
Choose a sympathy card saying from the selection below and use it as is, or modify it to make it more personal.
Remember that a hand written card is always more personal, and just the fact that you took the time to hand write the message shows that you care.
