Death of a Close Friend (2)

Dear (member),

I was truly sorry to have heard of the passing of your friend, (name).  I understand that the two of you were very close and I wanted to reach out to you and your family in your mourning.

Friends are amongst the greatest gifts that God has bestowed upon us, his children.  They provide wisdom and comfort, fellowship and love, honesty and patience.  Jesus Christ himself referred to his disciples as his friends, heeding their advice and cherishing their support and companionship.  Our friends are our family, and be mindful that God is with you as you mourn the loss of family.

Dear David,

Birthdays are…well…so annual!

Mike and his mother were in the doctor's office for his pre-school physical. The receptionist, completing his medical history, asked, “What is your birthdate?”

“What year?” the receptionist asked.
“Every year,” was Mike's matter-of-fact reply.

Sympathy Letter Death of a Loved One

Dear (member),

I am writing to express to you my greatest sympathy as you cope with the passing of your (family member).  Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family during what must be the most trying of times.

In our times of loss, we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of confusion and sorrow.  Hopelessness and despair may well up in our hearts, and it can seem as though comfort is beyond our reach, but as Jesus Christ tells us, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)  Your family here at Christian Life Church wants you to know that we will continue to be here for you to provide that comfort and assistance.  Your grief is ours, and we want you to know that you are not alone.
