In my last post I gave some ideas about what to write in a letter of condolence.

In closing your letter, you’ll want to reflect your feelings (and the feelings of others members in your household if you are speaking on behalf of your family). You can do that with a word:

“Yours truly,” “Sincerely,” “Fondly,” “Love,”

Or, with a phrase:

“My [Our] love is with you always.”

“My [Our] heart[s] and my [our] tears are with you.”

“We all join in sending you our heartfelt love.”

“We share in your grief and send you our love.”

“You are in my [our] thoughts and prayers.”

“My [Our] prayers and thoughts are with you.”

“My [Our] thoughts are with you now and I [we] send you my [our] deepest sympathy.”

In my next post I’ll share a sample letter of condolence.
