May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel.
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer
