Help me write a really difficult card

A close friend tragically lost his (pg) wife 10 days after they married. It's coming up to the anniversary of their wedding and I want to send a card to acknowledge their lovely day, but I dont know what to say. I've found a beautiful blank card (just has a beautiful, meaningful imsge) but I cry everytine I try and write in it. What on earth do I say?

thinking of you today. Then a memory of their wedding day or of his wife.

Just say that you are thinking of him and aknowledge how difficult it must be for him and as pp says write a happy memory of the day or something special you remember about his wife.

I think he would be so happy to hear about how lovely their wedding day was if you were there. I bet people don't often mention it with her death being so close.

I would absolutely acknowledged what has happened and as others have suggested include a lovely memory or 2 of her/them/their wedding day. I feel so sad for him.

How about, 'Remembering your beautiful day, with very special thoughts', with love, Maud.

Write down the good memories you have of them. Even if it's just in bullet points.
I did it for my aunty and apparently my uncle treasures that card.
