Dear _______________,
Thanks so much for your words of comfort at my brother’s funeral. My parents and I were given a measure of peace knowing that this sweet, smart, handsome teen was so deeply loved by everyone who knew him. The memorial scrapbook you presented to our family is filled with so many loving memories. Thank you for putting it together. We had never actually seen many of these precious images before. We’ll treasure this memorial gift forever and hold these beautiful memories close to our hearts. Thanks again for your incredible kindness.
With love and affection,

Thank You for Bereavement Comfort and Support
Dear _______________,
After the passing of my brother I’ve been dealing with a whole kaleidoscope of feelings. At only 21 years old it’s hard to believe he’s actually gone. His passing was so sudden and completely unexpected. Your comforting words and presence has been a great help to me and my sister. Thank you so much for offering us your warmth, concern and affection during this time of grieving. This whole process has been so exhausting and emotionally draining. We are trying our best to muster the strength to live our lives without him and begin healing. Thank you also for the lasagna, quiche, salad and ready-made sandwiches you brought by for us. Not having to shop for food or cook this week has been such a great help. We appreciate everything you’ve done for us.
God bless you.

Thank You Note for Memorial Service Planning
Dear _______________,
Words cannot begin to express the depth of love that I have for my husband. His sudden loss has literally turned my world inside out. I really appreciate your offer to help me to plan his memorial service and celebration of life luncheon. You and my sister have helped take a huge weight off of me with your incredible organizational skills and event planning. Right now I feel like I can barely breathe, think or function normally without him here beside me. It feels like I’m slowly walking through a thick, endless fog. Thank you again for this great kindness. My heart is filled with gratitude.
With love and appreciation,

Thank you for lending my family your spiritual and emotional strength as we grieve my sister’s passing. The senseless act that resulted in her death is beyond comprehension. As you can imagine my parents and I are absolutely devastated. But our faith in God will help get us through the rough road ahead. A huge thank you to your wonderful mother for spending time with us at the house to help us make all the necessary phone calls to friends and family. You are both true angels. We will always remember the generosity your whole family has shown us during this time of bereavement.
