My sister in laws brother died on Tuesday, I want to send her a card, but don't really know what to say-any suggestions. I knew her brother a long time ago, but it all seems so sudden-I know she must be completely at a loss over this-

There's nothing you can say. I have been on both ends of this.

You can express your deepest sympathy and let her know you are remebering her in your prayers. Maybe add a high light of something he did in his life that you remember him being really good at. Let her know that you (and/or others) were impressed or appreciative or whatever.

This, of course, does not change a thing, just lets them know they are in your thoughts and prayers and that you valued their family member too.
 
I agree, send her your deepest sympathies and sincere condolences and let her know that she and all who her brother loved and was loved by, are in your thoughts and prayers .

There really is nothing to say at such a difficult time to ease ones pain, so just letting her know that you acknowledge what she is going through will be enough. :(
 
I agree and do it in your own handwriting and not some pre-printed card. Tell a story about you and him or how he made a difference in your life. Something personal like that to let her know that you share her pain.
 
I agree with the others with the following exception. Right now everybody is sending cards etc. Wait a week or two and then proceed. Seems like everybod is in a rush to send something out and then completely forget the person after that. I just think it might be needed more a little bit down the road.
