So good a friend is capable of making any calamity light
The great loss you have sustained has caused me much uneasiness
I know not how to express my sorrow at the news which I have just received
That God may give you great consolation under this heavy burden is my fervent prayer
I should be glad if I could suggest anything to lighten your trouble and make your path a little more smooth and easy
Such a sad circumstance has come to you
Your sorrow’s night
When one’s heart is unspeakably tender
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
In your hour of trial
