If you were close enough to the deceased... just let the mourners know that you loved him /her.

When my dad died, his cousin called me from England... when I started crying he said "I know, I loved him too". Such a simple sentence. Let me know how much he was appreciated, even by those from whom he had been separated by time and distance.
