Let Crane's help you deliver words of comfort and compassion in times of sorrow.

Crane's sympathy cards, acknowledgments and memorial cards help you express your feelings in a soft and comforting manner. Our correspondence cards and notes, while not at all reserved to condolences, may also be used to script your own personal message. With Crane's quality, you can be sure your card will last for years and years so your loved one may re-read it on a future day when in need of support.

We offer cards, notes and books for handling these delicate situations.

Never is it more difficult to find the right words to write than when we try to compose consoling thoughts such as those needed for sympathy cards.

She offers guidelines for diverse situations, including expressions of sympathy, with sample letters that help make it easier to project an appropriate sentiment. Hardcover, 160 pages.
