need advice on how to word a thank you card

Two family members that were guests at our wedding passed away before we could get our thank you cards out. Now I'm wondering how I should word the cards to their spouses. I feel like its such an awkard situation because I want to thank them, but I don't want my card to be a reminder of their loss.

I think it depends on your relationship with them and how recently the spouse passed, but here's something I would probably write if I were in your situation.

Dear ________,

Thank you so much for the generous wedding gift and for attending our wedding. We are so glad that you and ______ were able to share our special day and our thoughts and prayers have been with you since his death. We hope to see you soon and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. We hope that our marriage can be as special and loving as your marriage to _________.

Love always,
