Dear _______________,
Thank you for thinking of me, streaming comforting thoughts my way, and gently holding me in your daily prayers. I’ve had such a difficult emotional time since the passing of my mother. Her heart attack was such a shock to all of us. When I received the phone call from my aunt I felt like the wind had literally been knocked out of my lungs. Not just a mother and daughter, we considered each other best friends. I feel thankful for your caring phone calls, bereavement card and the thoughtful memorial donation to the American Heart Association in my mother’s name. It’s a kindness I shall never forget. Thank you so much.
With sincere gratitude,

Thank You Card for Memorial Gift for Fallen Hero
Dear _______________,
My heart overflows with gratitude for your loving memorial gift to honor my fallen hero. My husband was a man in uniform who devoted his life to serving his country with honor. This beautiful framed custom portrait of my husband is something my children and I will cherish forever. Right now it’s what keeps us going – pouring over his photos and recalling and sharing so many special memories we have of happy times spent with him. Right now I know he is looking down on our family with love, and surrounding us with comfort and protection. I will hang this incredible gift on the wall above our fireplace so I can see his handsome face every day. Thank you so much for showing so much love and respect for my soulmate and hero. He will never be forgotten.
With great appreciation,

Memorial Donation Thank You Card Wording
Dear _______________,
Words cannot fully express the thanks we feel for your thoughtful donation of funds for the purchase of a memorial bench at the zoo for my parents. This memorial donation was incredibly generous. You know how much they loved the zoo and enjoyed being volunteer docents there on Wednesdays. Thank you also for sending us a lovely bereavement card. We will attach it to a page of their funeral guest book as an additional remembrance of your kindness. This double loss just before the holidays has been unimaginably hard on everyone. We’re just trying to keep it together. Our faith tells us that they’re still with us in spirit loving us and embracing us. Thanks for all you’ve done for our family in our time of need.
With warm hearts,

Thank You for Eternity Wreath on Easel
Dear _______________,
Our hearts are filled with great appreciation for the beautiful white-and-lavender eternity wreath delivered to the church on an easel for my grandfather’s funeral. This brightened the day, shining love and grace on his memorial service. Thank you also for the lovely sympathy card you sent to my grandmother. Your caring words and knowing that you are praying for her have filled her heart with comfort and peace. Although you could not make it to the funeral because of the distance, we felt your love from across the miles. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.
