Reaching out to someone in a time of need is wonderful. You should put something about her in the card, they will always need those memories to remind them everyday, that even though she has passed on, she was special to many people, and that they were lucky to have had them in their lives.
A lot of time people write sorry for your loss, trying to not bring it up, and though it is sweet, and usually sincere, it is not from the heart. When my cousins 8 month old son died of cardiac arrest, I wrote her a poem, and a long letter, and I was not afraid to talk about him, because he is not gone completley. You can quote it if you would like, but the hims will have to be hers....

It is hard to lose a loved one,
be it family or friend,
But try to take comfort in knowing,
this isn't the end.
Granparents, and cousins,
uncles and aunts,
They have all been embraced,
by God's loving hands.
I know when you read this,
Your eyes will fill with tears,
As you feel you've been cheated,
On sharing in all his years.
Keep him in your heart,
and his memory will live on,
As long as you remember him,
He is never really gone.


I hope it helps you. God calls for us when he needs us most, and though it seems unfair, and we are angry with him, he would not place this pain before us if he did not think that we could survive it. Now she is looking down on her family, and she will keep them safe, and love them for eternity. I hope that they can get past this and enjoy the memories they made with their angel.

Just share you sorrow for their loss, and offer support. No words will help more than others. But the pile of cards, will confirm the importance their child in others lives.

A card is a great start. Any memory that you have of her will be a Godsend. It means that someone else cares about her, and will miss her also.

Why don't you share with them something special that your son may remember about her. Like for instance Johnny will always remember how.............maybe something that they didn't even know. This is really sad, I think that it is nice of you to reach out to them in their time of sorrow.

write whatever you feel inside, it will all be gratefully received. Any death is hard for the people who cared about the lost one, especially one so young.

I suggest writing......"No words can express our sadness. Please know that you are in our thoughts, now and always. Our deepest condolences to you and your family."
