Sympathy Letters About a Friend Example 1

Dear Bill,

You must know how deeply saddened I was over your loss. Your wife and I were the dearest friends and I dare say she was like a sister to me. I will miss her very much.

I could always rely on her whenever I needed help, whether with a project or some mundane chore that she was always so willing to help me with. I came to trust her judgment and wisdom as well and her advice was always so well thought out and helpful.

She was a great gal and I know our lives will never be the same without her. I could never find a better and more caring friend.

She has left us with so many wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever.

In Deep Sorrow,

Betty Smith

Sympathy Letters About a Friend Example 2

Dear Mr. Hanson:

I am so very sorry about your loss. Your son had become a good friend to me in recent months and his passing is a terrible tragedy for all of us who knew him. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

I know that he came from a good family and that you loved him very much, as he did you. He always spoke in the most glowing terms of how much his family meant to him.

Your son was an inspiration to me. I admired all those wonderful qualities that made him the special person that he was. He had intelligence, wit, charm and a caring heart that made him a great friend.

I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know him better and to call him a friend. I will cherish his memory for years to come.

The poet Yeats once wrote "Count where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory is I had such friends."

Sympathy Letters About a Friend Example 3

Dear Rita:

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my good friend. He was a wonderful man and he was a great friend as well. I share in your grief at our sad loss.

I will never forget all that he did for me and my family when I was out of work with my illness. From mowing the lawn, to doing odd jobs around my house, to running errands, he was a godsend. I could never had made it through that difficult time without him.

I never heard an ill word spoken of him. He was kind, compassionate, and a true gentleman. Sadly there are few people like that in the world today.

I hope that in the weeks and months ahead that I will be able to return the favor of all that he did for me by being of some assistance to you and your family. I could never repay all that he did for me, but I would at least like to do what little I can and in doing so, honor his memory.

Please extend my sympathy to your entire family and let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time.

In Friendship & Sorrow,

John McCambley

Mr. & Mrs. Thomas,

I just had to let you know how deeply saddened I am to hear of your daughter's passing. She was a very special person and we had become very close friends, as I'm sure you know.

I truly believe that she was a gift from God that came into my life at exactly the time I needed her most. She changed my life completely and I owe everything I am today to the positive influence she had on my life.

The Bible says that "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." I pray that God will bless all of us and give us the strength to carry on without her.

I will say a special prayer each day in her memory in thanks for having had the opportunity to know her and count her among my closest friends. I will pray also for you and your family that you have the strength to carry on.

God Bless You and thank you for sharing your daughter with me. I feel truly blessed.

Sympathy Poems About a Friend Example 1

Death, To The Dead for Evermore

By Robert Louis Stevenson

Death, to the dead for evermore
A King, a God, the last, the best of friends-
Whene'er this mortal journey ends
Death, like a host, comes smiling to the door;
Smiling, he greets us, on that tranquil shore
Where neither piping bird nor peeping dawn
Disturbs the eternal sleep,
But in the stillness far withdrawn
Our dreamless rest for evermore we keep.

For as from open windows forth we peep
Upon the night-time star beset
And with dews forever wet;
So from this garish life the spirit peers;
And lo! as a sleeping city death outspread,
Where breathe the sleepers evenly; and lo!
After the loud wars, triumphs, trumpets, tears
And clamour of man's passion, Death appears
And we must rise and go.

Soon are eyes tired with sunshine; soon the ears
Weary of utterance, seeing all is said;
Soon, racked by hopes and fears,
The all-pondering, all contriving head,
Weary with all things, wearier of the years;
And our sad spirits turn toward the dead,
And the tired child, the body longs for bed.

Sympathy Poems About a Friend Example 2

Feeling the Loss of Him

By Raymond A. Foss

Standing, walking, coming through the line
greeting you, for a moment, sharing
but a snapshot, a burst, of what I was feeling,
so small compared to the enormity
the reality of your loss,
Feeling so small, standing in the line,
before I approached you,
Thinking of what his loss
means to me, to so many,
as written in the paper
Murmured in the court, on the phone
without practioners
Reading so many stories,
so many telling words
The loves he touched, changed
for the better, truly.
Of his help to me
guidance and rebuttal,
chastised and cajoled
Feeling the loss of him
so acutely, still.
