death bereavement · handwritten card · weeks · 40-70 words
A coworker on your team — not close, but cordial; you've had lunch a handful of times over the two years you've worked together — lost his mother ten days ago to cancer. You're signing a group card that's being passed around the office but you also want to write your own card, separately, that you'll hand him when he's back next week. You know his mother's first name was Frances because he's mentioned her. You are NOT close. Do not overstate. Do not promise presence you won't deliver. 40-70 words. Just the card's text, no preamble.
