Sympathy verses are the best way to express your sympathy and you don't have to think about what to say, it's all in the sympathy verse. Below you'll find excellent examples of sympathy verses that can be adapted to make them your own. Instead of "she" or "he" you can mention the deceased's name in the sympathy verse to make it more personal. You can also just leave the sympathy verse as it is.
Life is a book in volumes three-
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight - God keeps the key.

Remember that your loss is shared by many friends who care
and that you're in our thoughts and hearts and in our every prayer
May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today.

And memories a lane,
You'd no doubt walk up to heaven
And bring him home again.

At this time of sorrow,
May these truths sustain you ...

Be as close as a memory,
And the God of all comfort
Will always be as
Close as a prayer.

The sorrow of the faithful
Is not that of permanent loss,
But the tender sense of sadness
That comes in saying good-bye for now
To someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
To the peace and
Comfort of God's love.

In the hearts and thoughts of others
Help you and yours
Through this time of sorrow.
