Dear Jamie
I wanted to let you know I've been thinking about you. When I heard about the loss of your grandmother I wasn't sure what to say, and sometimes I need some time to write out my thoughts. I have always admired you for the way you handle your relationships including our relationship. I know you and your grandmother had a close relationship. You truly care about others who are close to you and I can only imagine that you got that quality partly from your grandmother. I want to let you know that your grandmother has inspired me through my interactions with you. She was an amazing person and so are you. Please accept my condolences.

Michael
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I never got the pleasure of meeting your grandfather, but I know of him through what you've told me. He sounded like an amazing guy who I know was a big influence in your life. Some grandparents are more than just grandparents. They are mentors, teachers, and friends.
Your Friend,
Joe
