Dear _______________,
Thank you for attending my uncle’s funeral last week. I really appreciated the kindness and emotion support you offered me during this very difficult time. I also appreciated the meat and cheese platter you brought to the memorial gathering at my aunt’s house. That was very generous of you. This has been a very hard time for my entire family, but with the love and prayers from good friends like you our hearts will begin the healing process. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and also for the warm sentiments you expressed to my aunt and little cousins just before you left. I feel grateful to have such a wonderful pastor at my neighborhood church.

Thank You for Rosary Blessed by the Pope
Dear _______________,
Thank you so much for the loving spiritual support you’ve given our family, both during this stressful time and over the last 35 years. You and Aunt Martha were childhood friends, and when you became the priest at our family’s parish it was a true gift to the entire community. She loved attending mass and hearing your sermons. When Aunt Martha was diagnosed with her illness three years ago, we had all hoped and prayed that she would be able to beat the odds. But her brave fight and suffering are now over. She is joyfully in Heaven with God, the angels and all of her departed family and friends. Thank you so much for the sacred sympathy gifts you gave us this weekend. The beautiful rosary and medallions blessed by the Pope are so incredibly special. We will cherish them forever along with her memory. Thank you for being there to help us during this time of bereavement.
With deep appreciation,
