How to Close a Sympathy Note

Most people find it difficult to compose condolence notes that convey their sympathy. And while the note itself is challenging, I think it can be even harder to figure out a meaningful way to close.

​Here are ten ideas:

1. May love and your beautiful memories sustain you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
2. I, too, will remember your father with much affection.
3. I don’t have much wisdom to share. I just want you to know that you are thought of and cared for. Be kind to yourself and give your dear husband and children a hug from me.
4. May your beautiful memories bring you peace and comfort.
5. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. You are in my heart and prayers.
6. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
7. We are thinking of you constantly. May your daughter’s memory forever be a blessing.
8. May your fondest memories of him comfort you always.
9. We hope that knowing that our love and thoughts are with you will give you some comfort in the days and months ahead.
10. You and your dear family have my heartfelt and sincerest condolences.
