Dear (insert name)
My heart is filled with sadness at your loss of (insert name). I can not imagine the pain you feel now but I wanted to let you know that our loving thoughts are with you.
We can only say how much we will miss (insert name) as well. No words can express how much a part of your life (insert name) was, and will always be, we're sure, and be held in your heart forever. (insert name) was a jewel among us, always giving us a shining example of kindness, caring, loving, and fun.
(insert name) was more than my sister/brother, she/he was my friend. Although distance and time took us in different directions through life, she/he was always close to me. Even though the time we spent with (insert name) was all too infrequent, when we were together our bonds were reinforced by the simplest of hugs, or a kiss on the cheek. She/he made us welcome no matter what was transpiring in her life, no matter how busy she was, and, in recent time, no matter how much she was suffering.
God gave us a true sister/brother that remains with us through the rest of our lives, so close yet not with us in body any longer.
I know you would call if there is anything at all we can do, but I/we just wanted to let you know that we/I am here for you regardless of day or night (insert phone number).
You and (insert name) are in our thoughts and prayers,
(sign name and surname)
