I want to give my respects and well wishes, but... I'm really at a loss. You'd think that, after dealing with the deaths of people close to me, I'd be able to offer condolences more easily, but the reality is that, after what I went through, nothing that I can say would ever be enough.
When a fire goes out, whether or not it's before their time, the chill left behind will always remain and nothing that you can say or do will ever make that warmth come again. I want to express what I want to say, but I find myself at a loss for words. I know no words that would adequately express the emotions that I'm feeling now, nor would they be proper consolation for anyone.
