I seem to be sending as many <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/all-occasion-cards\/sympathy-cards.htm\">sympathy cards<\/a><\/strong> as I am birthday cards, how sad.<\/p>\n<p>I think it is important to send a sympathy card to someone who has experienced a loss. It\u2019s the people that are left behind that need the condolence. We have all experienced loss; remember how it felt?&nbsp; Now remember how it felt to read lovely, soothing words of condolence from friends. Having boxed sympathy cards on hand lets the family know that you feel the loss also.<\/p>\n<p>When composing sympathy cards, keep them simple. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our thoughts and prayers are with you<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
