    My best friend lost their grandmother recently and they were extremly close. I want to send them flowers as a surprise to bring a smile to their face even for just a few minutes. On the card i want to tell them how much they mean to me and that i wil always be there for them.
    The thing is i have never had to do this before and i dont know how to word it!! So if anyone had any ideas please help

    Just say what you've said there - use your own words and be natural. It's a lovely gesture.

    There's no real perfect thing to say, just say you're sorry and you're there if they need anything at all. Try and make them smile, but don't force it. I've found you remember the people who were simply there for you. Just say what you said in your post. They will appreciate it.

    It's worth saying the world needs more people like you, don't get bogged down in the wording you're clearly a lovely friend and that can't do anything but shine through.

    Thanks guys. I sent the flowers and just put a brief note on it. My friend appreciated it and was glad for me being an ear at the other end of the phone. Thanks for the advice guys
