my sincere condolences

Dear sista,
I would like to express my sincere condolences on the recent passing of our father. My husband, and our children also send their thoughts and prayers to you and our family at this difficult time.
I met with him over the years, I came to realize his great kindness and compassion towards my family. And I do know that he was very highly respected throughout this community. I remember the gentle spirit and helpful nature of him and will always remember him as an exceptionally special and giving person.
I was heartbroken to hear the news, and I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. You were truly fortunate to have a man such as your father in your life.
Please pass my family deepest sympathies
