Dear Larry,
I am sorry to hear about your brother Joseph. I remember when we were younger and the three of us used to play baseball together in that old lot behind the grocery store. He taught us both a lot about not giving up when something was difficult. I wish you peace in this sad time.
Your friend,

I recently heard about the death of your mother. Her loss must be taxing on you in more ways than one, and I would like to extend to you any help you might need.

Dear Becky,
It is with my deepest sympathies that I send my condolences on the death of your mom. I was so sorry to hear that she died, but I know now that at least her suffering is over. She was so strong in the way she battled her disease. I can't believe how she actually made it easier for all of us to deal with it, in spite of her pain. Please pass on my sympathies to the boys and Gerald. I know this is a sorrowful time for you all.
With all my love,
Cindy
