German term

erwiesene und noch zudachte Anteilnahme

German to English Social Sciences Religion funeral notice
I'm looking for a translation into U.S. English for the following line at the end of a funeral notice, which is being translated for probate (so it has to be fairly close to the original but still sound respectful):

Für erwiesene und noch zugedachte Anteilnahme bedanken wir uns herzlich.

Thanks in advance for all ideas.
