Words of Condolence Letter for Dad

Amy,

Both Bill and I want to extend our deepest sympathy on your dad's passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it must be gratifying to know that in his passing we celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.

How fortunate for you to have had him for all these years, and so close by and able to see your children grow up. I think his proudest moments were in the role of "grandpa" and I know your children thought the world of him, as we all did.

I know that you and the kids will miss him dearly, as I will. I'm just glad that I have so many happy memories to remember him by.

May you find the strength to move forward with the confidence in knowing that his was a life well-lived. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

In Sympathy,

Eloise Dunn

Dear Gerry,

I was so sorry to receive the news that your father had died. It was a terrible shock to hear that someone so active and health conscious was taken so suddenly from us. Please accept the deepest condolences of myself and my family. Your dad was a wonderful person and we will all remember him with the fondest of memories.

I’ll always think of when we lived near you, I could set my clock by your dad’s daily runs. If I was outside he’d always give a little wave. The kids used to like to have a cup of water ready for him, like they do in the marathons. They got a great kick out of that and he played right along with them.

I feel so helpless being so far away now, and I won’t be able to make the funeral. But do know that I’m here for you, and I’ll be calling to see how you’re making out. Perhaps in a few months we can make arrangements to get together. I’d really like that. Until then, take care my friend, and pass on our sympathies to the rest of your family.

With heartfelt sadness,

Eric and Family
