I sent to non Jewish neighbor a condolence pkg and wrote ; wishing our condolences, all the best.
How bad does it sound to write wishing? embarrassed embarrassed

the wording is a bit awkward... but the sentiment is there... (and the gift!)

(I am a CPA and a client provided medical receipts to use as a deduction. His son was sent to drug rehab with a $90,000 price tag. The bottom of the receipt said "thank you for your business! We hope to see you again soon!" shock )

Anyway, I think it's lovely you showed you thought of them and the wording is fine.

I'm picky about such things and I think it's perfectly fine. For example - it makes me crazy when ppl write 'our prayers go out to so and so' instead of ' we are praying for you or our hearts go out to you.' This might be slightly awkward if it was being graded but it's not enough to set off my cringe metre.
