Mourning a death in the family (Guest:Amber)

What should you say in a letter to a family that is mourning the death of their mother?

Amber, firstly it depends on how well you knew the mother and how close you are to the family. It also depends on how you perceive life as a person & religion etc. I might write something like this (assuming I knew the family a bit, but wasn't too close) Dearest : To apologise as people often do when someone passes away would be futile.
