words to go in a condolence card

[zzxxee]

my best mates mum died yesterday
she has a very dry sense of humour and a sarcastic outlook on life
i need some words to put in her card , but not the conventional "so sorry for your loss" message
please help
TIA X

so you want to put something funny in there or something?
i had to write on, i just wrote what my favourite memory of them were.

You need to be careful. Whatever her outlook on life, now may not be the time for any sort of humour.

[squarebear]

I agree with Sandy. Be careful here.

[zzxxee]

i know im just at a loss what to put

[Dris]

I usually say it was pleasure to have known them-something along those lines anway

[ummmm]

A friend put in my card 'Your loss is Gods gain'

[lumination]

yeah just put what your best memory of them were, nobody can ask for more than to know someone else has a brilliant look on the person who has died. if you put down a lovely memory im sure it will make them happy. x

Hi zzxxee, sorry to hear that...I like this

You don't get over it, you just get through it. You don't get by it, because you can't get around it. It doesn't 'get better'; it just gets different. Everyday... Grief puts on a new face.... -Wendy Feireisen

I agree with others as well. I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humour but I wouldn't have found anything funny when my Dad died.

Stick yo words of sympathy..

i think i will go with maizies that is perfect x
thanks to everyone else x

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours.

I would not put anything humourous. Some of her relatives will read the card. Just a standard sorry for your loss is the best thing at such a time. You can talk about the good times at some other time.

mazie that was quite brilliant! ill think of that if something like this pops up
