With sincerest sympathy,
(When Interment is at Home)
My dear ————,
We have just been informed that your son’s body has been lovingly laid to rest at home. If ever we were proud of our soldier boys it is now. Every day their sacrifices are more precious to us as we dwell upon their likeness to the greatest of all sacrifices which God made for us through his Son.
May the God of all comfort, comfort you and yours is our prayer.
Sincerely yours,
(Interment of Soldier)
My dear ————,
I am thinking of you to-day in all your sorrow, yet knowing that you are comforted. Comforted by the assurance that your son died as a true soldier, giving his all at its best for you and for his country; comforted by the fact that you have him near you again, where you can go occasionally in sweet reverence and recall precious memories. Above all you must be comforted by the Redeemer’s resurrection promise that you shall see your dear son again.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
