Dear Margaret,
Today I heard you had lost your father. I know the suddenness of it must have been a dreadful shock; and I just can’t tell you how sorry I am.
I wish there were something I could do or say to soften your grief.
With the deepest sympathy to you and all your family.
Affectionately,
Bob
