It only sounds formal because it tweaks the French/Latin aesthetic borrowed into English, and not the Germanic.

I had a friend pass recently and this is oddly helpful. Thank you.

I, along with @2 find it timely and oddly helpful.

"Compassion," too, boils down to "suffering with."

for Cesaria Evora, Vaclav Havel, or Kim Jong Il?

And "companion," at bottom, just means "bread with," which I find wonderful.

The appropriate way to show your condolence for a death is to express your self that you are concerned and considerate of your feelings. This is warming based from my experience. It is essential that you should know his or her loss and to show that you deeply understand it. Talking, helping her out and even pay a visit to the funeral is also great. It is also good to send a card if you are far away to express your words of condolence.
