* Use the verse as a conversation starter. You could say something like, "I was reading this verse today that made me think of your mom..." or "I know this is a tough time, but I wanted to share this verse with you..."
* Be mindful of the person's spiritual beliefs and traditions. If they are not Christian or have a different faith tradition, it may be more meaningful to offer a general message of comfort rather than a specific Bible verse.
