Terminal Illness Sympathy Cards Request

I have two people that I know of (and care quite a bit about) who are actively in the process of dying--and calling to speak with them or visiting them in person is out. I would like to send them sympathy cards to comfort and encourage them.

Please note: the kind of cards that I'm looking for aren't 'Get Well' cards. While I believe in miracles, and I hope and pray for the same for each of them, I also want to exercise tact and discretion.

Messages of hope and faith would be well received by either. They're both Christian. Thanks. 🌹
Messages that I am particularly looking for would include appropriate Bible verses and thoughts like: "You matter to me" and "you made a difference in my life, and I am grateful."

I will be needing some condolence cards as well, and I am also happy to share your cards with others.

You might check "Thinking of You" cards.

We are sorry to hear about your friends, and sorry for your pain.

Thinking of you cards that are specific to this would be welcome too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you, @randysgrandma. I really appreciate the cards you've shared.

If it helps any, they're both men and they have cancer. I really am having difficulty coming up with cards that would work for this.

I knew I had one, but turns out it wasn't on Zazzle but on a different site. I recreated it her. Hope it is more what you are looking for.

I am guessing they are people you were involved with who are now married to someone else. So acknowledge his wife and that she is dealing with it also.

Address the card to John and Mary Doe.

On the top of the front of the card put "To Both of You"

On the bottom of the front put "Thinking of You"

Inside say

"May you both find the peace and strength to deal with this challenge.

May the thoughts and prayers (or prayers and support) sent your way comfort you.

Not sure if this fits the bill (just happened to notice it sold today) - it's more of a heart to heart opener so you could put anything on it I guess.
Sending prayers for your dear friends.
