I have one for the worst list:

When my husband's Aunt died at age 63 (in 1994), someone actually said this to his cousin, who was an only child. I was standing with her when this was said.

"Your family was so small and now it is even smaller!" No kidding.

Most people do not know how to react and blurt out anything. This is very good to see here.
