I think you should send it what if it didnt upset them and the one thing you send them could be make there eyes open to the lord. You could be the person to show them the Lord. God be with you.

We as believers should never impose ourselves on unbelievers; if they will, they can inquire of you, and then is when to speak of the Lord. Christ spoke, but then it was always up to the person to follow Him. For us to go to unbelievers and tell them that God loves them is bearing false witness, and deceitful, because it is simply not the case.

I could not disagree more.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If God is leading you to witness than let nothing or no one stop you SB.
Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Well, if your letter is full of love then do it, but if it's not then don't send it, Make them feel your love in this hard time, Maybe a vist with some nice flowers would get your message to them better.
I believe argument wasn't in the mind of the Samaritan when he saved the poor Israelite man
10:30 Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,31);</SCRIPT> 10:31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,32);</SCRIPT> 10:32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,33);</SCRIPT> 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,34);</SCRIPT> 10:34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,35);</SCRIPT> 10:35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cj(10,36);</SCRIPT> 10:36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>cb(10,37);</SCRIPT>10:37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
But of course the decision is all yours and if you think a salvation letter will show your love then do it, but personally I wouldn't do that.

I read it through a few times and just decided it was too much to take in.
In the end I sent a card saying our prayers were with her and her family, etc, etc.
I ended with:-
Love in Christ, your neighbor,
etc, etc.
In end I thought that if she is lead she will seek and left it with God.
I'm happy afterwards I didn't send the letter because families deal with this sort of thing in different ways. Many of us would be happy knowing we would soon be in heaven.

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
How can they know without a preacher (someone to bring the good news)? Pray and be absolutely sure that God does not want you to witness to this person. If you get a peace in your spirit that is fine but be sure of this person's eternal destiny is at stake.
