Googling it, a good idea! I'm surprised it didn't occur to me. My usual situation is having to write condolences about the death of someone I don't want to let on that I didn't particularly like, and have it be supportive without being dishonest, because I'm not a big fan of white lies.

I'm sure that in Fritz's shoes, without any internet, I'd just be listing out the faults of the person I didn't like, and talking about how great it is not to experience grief (one place where Fritz and I differ severely), and have they tried that? :P And genuinely expecting that suggestion to be helpful.
