Reconnecting with a friend

So I was very good friends with a girl during our time at college. After she graduated we didn't talk as much, but were still close. After I graduated, we completely lost touch. I blame myself for that.
This week I have seen her post very emotional things on FB and found out that her boyfriend passed away on Tuesday. I want to reach out to her but since we were so close and I haven't spoken to her in a few years I want to do this the best way.
How should I reach out to her? What should I say considering I found out by other's posts on her FB wall and not from her?
This is such a tumultuous time for her that I don't want to stir anything up about our lost relationship.

    I think if you just reach out and let her know you are "sorry for her loss and you'll be there if she needs someone to talk to" - it would be better than worrying about any perceived social faux-pas. I'm sure she'd appreciate someone reaching out to her during this time. Also shows that you are a caring person and an even better friend! Good luck!

    If it were me, I'd just send her a short and sweet email.

    "Hey there.. Thinking about you, let me if there is anything I can do. I'm just an email or phone call away".
