My family and I were invited to a special dinner. The company that invited us wants to remain private. The company wanted to give back to the community from their hearts with nothing in return. We enjoyed the dinner and the conversation. We learned things about the company we did not know before. I do not work for this company. There was a man sitting at our table that works for the company he was really nice, but unfortunately his wife was out of town and he was missing her. He told us he could not sleep at night until his wife returns home. We reassured the man his wife would be home before he knew it. A few weeks later I got a telephone call from a friend saying the man’s wife wanted to send my family and I a gift from her company. I received the gift three days later and it was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes to know someone that didn’t even know me could be so kind. They were not asking for anything in return. How do I say thank? I have tried putting the word on paper, but the words don’t seem right. I am touch by their kindness. Someone help me come up with the right words.

Drop the second 'a'.

Just say, Thank you, your kindness has meant alot to me and I hope to return the favour to someone else some time in the near future. There are good people out in there and all they want to know is that they have made a difference, I'm sure if you tell her that she has made a difference, that will be all the thanks she needs to hear. You are a special person and I'm sure she thought so too.

When someone says they don't want anything in return they really mean it. Just send them a nice card. Like maybe one made by a local artisan. Just thank them for the gift and dinner and you look forward to future encounters and success in the future. Doesn't have to be deep or sappy.

Thank you for the beautiful gift you sent us. It is no wonder your husband misses you so much when you are out of town.
Sincerely,
The John Doe Family

I'd say like this: " I always believed that there are alot of good people in this world. I don't know you and your family personally but I was touched by your kindness. I always said thank you in the past and I've always meant it. This one is no different. "Thank you very much for your kindness"

You can go to a card store and buy a generic Thank you card and then add some words on your own expressing appreciation for the gifts.
In place of a card write a letter expressing your gratitude/appreciation for the gifts.
