My father-in-law died unexpectedly 2 weeks ago and these were the thank yous that I made. We used the inside verse from the thank yous that the funeral home supplied.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent a floral piece,
If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day,
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.

My condolences to you and your family. A death in the family is certainly a trying and chaotic time. The fact that you did all these thank you cards is amazing. Your family must have truly appreciated your effort. You card is wonderful.

Your card is lovely, very elegant, and I am sure it will mean so much to the people who receive them to know you made them. What a wonderful tribute to your father-in-law. My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. TFS.

Condolences to your family for your loss.
Our Great grandfather will be dying anytime now. It has been very hard on the family. Although, he is 96 and has lived an amazing life. Thank you for sharing such a simple, beautiful and elagant card with us. The verse absolutely says it all in such a beautiful way.
I would like to case this for our Great grandmother to help her out at this very sad time for her. Thank you so much for sharing.
