When looking for words of comfort due to the loss of
someone special, sometimes sympathy quotes are just what you are looking
for. Use them in a condolence letter along with your bereavement phrases
or in a sympathy card.
You may find a use for them in a homemade
gift or as a message to go with flowers. We hope whatever you need them
for, you will find them useful.

Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of
glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what
remains behind.

are welcome.
