I think that was well crafted.

  • No mention of "good" or any other positive in connection with his work.
  • mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
  • "thoughts" without the "prayers", that is a really nice slapp :D

I'm sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a "good riddance, finally" in terms that can be understood as polite.

except that she said she's saddened to learn

what is there to be sad about? I guess she can be sad for his family

Saddened to learn is about as mild and passive as you can get.

I can be happy as a pig in shit, and still be "saddened to learn" something.
