If it is someone to whom you're not really close, then
With my (our) sincere condolences
Try not to use such worn and supercilious phrases as:
You remain in my (our) thoughts and prayers.
It can appear trite and insincere, particularly as the phrase is thrown around all too often now by people who simply do not know what to say.
Usually there isn't much more you can say than that you are sorry for the person's loss and that you are thinking of them and/or praying for them. Try something like this:
"You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
* Let the verse of the card do the main talking for you and then depending on how well you know the person you can add 'I am always here for you in your time of need so please call me if you need anything.' Then sign the card.
our thoughts are with you thinking of you sincerest regards deepest sympathies
To the surviving spouse alone, or if the person was single , to the Family of So-and-so .
There is no special way to address a sympathy card: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe is what I would write.
im asking you, not me.
I sent a card to the address in Lubbock, TX and got it back saying refused. I'mtrying again with the address in Santa Monica, CA. I found this site for an e card http://www.theeternalportal.com/tributes/farrah-fawcett/sympathy-card/
Yes, you should always put a return address on any envelope. The person you are sending the sympathy card may not know your last name or address and also the Postal Service needs to have a return address in case you put the wrong address down of the recipient.
If not directing the card specifically to the daughter in this case, usually you would address to "The Family of [deceased]".
Not usually. Sympathy cards are usually sent to people you know. Simply signing your name inside should let them know who it's from.
1234 Get a Life Rd. NW Loserville California. 56789
Yes, because she's lost her mother-in-law.
However you would address them individually with and in between, as:Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Jones
Logically, a sympathy card is addressed to the survivors of the immediate family, collectively. e.g. The Smith Family 1234 Main St. Anywhere, USA In a situation where there is only the surviving spouse, a sympathy card should be addressed as follows : Mr. John Smith 1234 Main St. or Mrs. John Smith 1234 Main St. NB. When the wife is the sole survivor, you do not use her first name in the address, but rather, her husband's first name
Just put his name. Ex: Joe, I'm sorry to hear about... My Sympathies, Sally Sue
Dear Name of person, Your message. Sincerely, with love, Deeply sorry. Your name
