My boss,who I'm good friends with has just lost her dad from cancer.He was diagnosed at Christmas,he has a site on Cancer Research UK and there is a donation site and a condolance site,which I would like to reply to,can anyone come up with a suitable verse,that is personal,but not too personal?

Why does it have to be a verse?
By definition that is impersonal.
How about saying what you feel,however clumsy you think it sounds?
If it's hearfelt,that's all that matters. Smile

Moondog,have just typed a very personal message to my bosses' brother,as it's him who set the site up,I'm worried he will think he doesn't know his sister,s**t it seems so daft..

Trust your instincts IM.
these card companies would have us believe yuo can buy a sentiment for every occasion. It's nonosense,go with what yuo feel.

Your so right,just took a beautiful verse off another thread,am very worried about my boss,we are quite close,but I think she hasn't realised losing her dad is for real.Just can' imagine,probably am being a bit pushy,for her to talk about it.
