A card with a gift certificate to a massage parlor so that she can go there once she is done grieving to help her relax. You know it really is hard work morning a person you loved and will miss. Tense back muscles and problems getting up in the morning to face another day knowing that you will not have contact with that person only in your head and in your heart. God Bless her and you for being such a great friend and co-worker.

Go to a very good bookstore and ask the clerk to help you to find a book for this person. I would suggest something that is appropriate having to do with loss, support, caring. If she is Christian, I'd say any book authored by a Christian on death would be good. Don't forget to tell her you are there for her and then let her talk. Most people who lose loved ones just want to talk about them, listen, it is a great gift to give.

I would suggest a feminine cross necklace. You can get an inexpensive but nice silver necklace with a cross at any department store - even Wal Mart. Or, you can just get a little charm and she can put it on her own chain or bracelet.... The little charm of two hands in a prayer formation. put it in a card and just say - Sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Not religious? Just a nice card and a box of see's candy? I haven't a clue. That's a good question.

I lost my precious Pappy when I was about that same age. That's a tough one. :( You are kind to even think of giving her something, but don't pressure youself. How about you give her a beautiful card and write a really long, heartfelt letter inside of it about how you feel. This is the most helpful thing for people in grief. Good luck!

Read the obituary. They often list a charity that donations can be made to in the deceased's name. Call the charity and if you make a donation they will mail it to you friend - mention the Grandfather's obituary while making the call.
Then, buy her a sympathy card and be a listener for her if she needs one.

A well chosen card that conveys your sincere sympathies, send flowers only if the service is in town and the family is accepting flowers. Sometimes they want the money donated instead to their favorite charity.

Don't get her flowers that you got from work-that's lame. Spend a whole day with her and let her talk about whatever she wants. She will probably talk about her Grandfather and will feel a whole better.

Just talk to her and let her know you're there if she's feeling down.
See if she wants to share photos of her grandfather -- some memories.
