In fact, I shall always be thankful to God for the loving friend that he blessed me with. I shall never again see a more happy person than (3)______________. I feel that your loss is a loss to all the people who knew him/her.

Civilization is a place where men rise and fall like the winter wheat. The dawn brings new rays every day yet there are some people who rise every day and bring to life, cherished memories, teachings and faith that help us sail the journey of life.

May God bless his/her soul and complete all his wishes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we are sharing the burden of this great grief. May God bless you.

May God bless (5)_________'s soul.

With love and sympathy,

(6)_____________________

(1)Name of closest relative of the deceased
(2)(3)(4)(5)Name of the deceased
(6)Your name

While writing words of condolence and sympathy messages, make the best possible effort to convey the emotion that you are very sorry for the loss of the deceased. You do not have to make up some complex example for the purpose, a simple relevant incident will do. Compare the deceased life with something extremely beautiful and also natural. You may also include sympathy verses for death to express grief.

Every person is unique in their own way. Conveying the feeling that you will miss the deceased and reasons that will you miss the deceased is very important. Simply narrate some daily habit of the deceased like '…........would always praise food from the bottom of his heart and would always give of a glowing smile to all the co-workers while having lunch........'. You will receive some ideas from condolence message examples that are available on the Internet. However, I would strongly advise you to write the letter from the bottom of your heart instead of using such condolence examples.

While writing opening lines and closing lines of the message, one needs to be extra careful, especially while using verses for memory of loved ones. I would strongly recommend that you refer to all types of condolence examples and sympathy messages examples, so as to get some condolence message ideas, about how to write these lines. If you do not wish to refer to sample messages for condolences, you may frame a short poem and include it in the condolence message.

As a signing off tip for condolence messages, I would advise you to remember the person and write from your heart.
