Condolence messages on death of a Mother/Father in English

Losing a parent is one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. If this happens to a friend, then you might want to send a message to show that you are there for your friend. Your message should try to show your true feelings so it is always better to try to send a message yourself. 

Sample message:

Hey John,

I am really sorry to hear about your mother. She was a great person and always generous with all of us. I know it is going to be a rough time for you so please feel free to give me a call and we can talk about anything. 

Be strong

You should write a message that is true about your friend’s mother or father so try to include some of the good points of that person’s character. 

If you didn’t know your friend’s mother/father you can send a more general message like:

Hey John 

I am very sorry to hear about your mother/father. If you need help at this time, don’t hesitate to give me a call.
