Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
Hold tight to memories for comfort,
lean on your friends for strength,
and always remember how much you are cared about.
As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens.
Your life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of our special needs,
Today and tomorrow, my whole life through, I will always love and cherish you, Remembering [insert name]
You left us so suddenly, your thoughts unknown,
You left us memories, we are proud to own.
Those who loved can truly tell, the heartache of parting without farewell.
May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Here are a few quotes that make really nice additions to sympathy cards:

-Constance Parker Graham
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
-Thomas Campbell
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
