I've started and chucked out this letter half a dozen times already. I just...I don't know what to say.
Oh Emmeline, I am so sorry. There's simply no way to adequately express how much without it sounding as if I'm downplaying your feelings.
You have always been a strong person, always one of the first people I trust to listen to me and respond with wisdom and comfort. While I don't have wisdom as such for you, I will give as much comfort as I am able.
With heartfelt condolences,
