Words of condolences for a beloved uncle written to niece Peggy or nephew Steven. Many of us do not know our uncles. In this letter you will write, if you are sure that the niece or nephew did not really know their uncle well then relate a memory that you have about your own uncle. At least it will make the saddened one smile a bit. It is always a very sad thing to lose any member of your family so let the depressed one know that you recognize that fact. Feel free in the words of condolences for an uncle written to his niece or nephew, example letter below, to suggest that maybe you should get together with this niece or nephew and enjoy life as their uncle would have wanted them to do. The language used in this letter is appropriate for writers of all ages.
Dear Steven,
Remember when you were learning to drive both your father and your uncle were in competition to see which of them could teach you driving skills better. In the end where did you learn to drive but in driver’s school. Uncles are sometimes like fathers in our lives, don’t you think? You were lucky to live near your uncle, for most of us we get to see our uncles at weddings and funerals. It is memories of your uncle that you should cherish in your heart for all time.
It is always sad when we lose any member of our family whether we are close to that person or not because it is one less person left on earth that makes our family special. I heard that he died suddenly without too much pain and I guess that is what we would want for any of our loved ones, to leave this earth with some dignity. What do you say we get together real soon and just enjoy life I am sure that is what your uncle would want us to do.
Sincerely,
David
