Dear {Recipient},
I am sorry to hear about the passing of {the deceased}. I know that God chose this time for {the deceased} to join Him, but that does not make this any easier. {The deceased} will be truly missed.
In this unhappy hour, I am reminded of the book of John, which states "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." These words offered comfort to {the deceased}, as I hope they will bring comfort to you.
We must console ourselves with the knowledge that {the deceased} is walking with our Lord. As for us, now more than ever, know that you are always in my prayers.
With love,
{Sender}
