My co-worker's and good friend mother passed away. Wake is tomorrow, I'd like to send flowers, but have no idea what note to put with them. I've been through this by myself. Words don't help...but I have to write something.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. ~Robert Ingersoll

Don't make it too flowery.
Just a simple "I'm sorry for you loss. You are in my prayers." will do nicely. Let's them know you care, but doesn't weight them down will a bunch of babble that they don't want or need right now. They won't remember a long message. It might mean something to you, but it's just not appropriate right now.
If you want to do something else, something more, then wait a couple of weeks and take the friend out for lunch or dinner and let them know then that you are there if they need to talk. Don't push it. They'll be in a better frame of mind to receive your heartfelt sentiments.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss...
Like you mentioned, words are pretty much meaningless when someone has died...
Write something from you heart - short and to the point.
That's the best you can do... I know that isn't a great answer, but there really isn't anything else you can do.
Just be there for your friend - that's much more important than the card...

Enroll in an active artwork class, such as sculpture or maybe ceramics.

One of the most poignant of all human experiences is empathy-the ability to feel what others feel when suffering from pain or loss. --Louis Jolyon West

You could simply have the florist include a card that says "With deepest sympathy"
or.....
If you choose to write the note personally, you could say , "I am so sorry for your great loss, please know that I am here for you"

Keep a smaller water glass, which you should refill often, instead of a big water bottle on your workplace.

No Person is Ever Truly Alone
by Richard Fife
No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did
And who they were
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

I believe in the event you reduce your own tummy along with get used to ingesting a smaller amount, it may help.
