Don't bother with quotes, just speak from the heart. Say what you remember and will miss about her. But if you insist on quotes, use ones that you remember without having to look them up. These must be memorable to others, too. Or, I'm sure you can "google" quotes on the internet. Or, better yet, go to book/card store, look at the cards, and copy some quotes down from the ones you like. Good luck!

All good answers...
DO NOT go to some website and pull anonymous quotes to try to express your feelings on this matter. Sit down in quiet and write down memories yuo have about time with your cousin. This will help you organize your thoughts on the matter. When you send or deliver the card, speak honestly and truthfully about your feelings for your late cousin (provided that the memories are good - otherwise the best response is silence). Try and remember that you are ALL greiving, and memories spoken about from the heart will be the most powerful.

The person you are sending the card to will find more solace in something written from your heart rather than quotations or words taken from the internet. Please avoid using the words, "I know how you feel" or "Time will heal the pain" because that's not what the recipient needs or wants to hear. Start with, "I remember the times we...... ", and let your words flow from there. My sympathies to you and family.

It is better to avoid the words"died," "death,"and "killed," in such letters. It is quite possible to write the kind of letter that will give a moment of courage and a strong feeling of sympathy without mentioning death or sadness at all. For instance: Dear Jeanette, For me Gale will remain the happy, dancing child I saw for the first time on her fifth birthday. She will always be with us in spirit, Lovingly, Mary

Perhaps John, bankruptcy 14:a million-6 might convey alleviation. Read it, take in it and notice the way it makes you consider... then take a look at hanging that feeling into your possess phrases... take notes as you do that. I pray that you are going to be stuffed with peace, trust, and love throughout your speech on Saturday!

I agree with the previous answerer. Your cousin's loved ones will appreciate a sincere expression of your care for them. You can also include your feelings about your cousin. Maybe a happy memory you have of that cousin would also be appreciated. I'm sorry for your loss.
