Sample Letter of Condolences

Dear {Recipient},

I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family, and I'm sure you are overwhelmed with an outpouring of sympathy and offers to help, so I will keep this short.

{The deceased} meant the world to me, and I am still reeling from {his/her} death. But every day I try to focus on one memory that brings a smile to my face. Today, that memory is {a story about the deceased, something the deceased said, etc.}. I hope that made you smile a bit, too.

I know the funeral is {date of the funeral}, and I am willing and able to help with any of the planning or preparation, should you need it. Please give me a call if that's the case.

Warm regards,

{Sender}
