    What you said works fine: "I'd give you a hug if I could"

    something along the lines of "I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm here if you want to talk" would probably be appropriate, also offering a long distance hug is nice. Just knowing you care is something I think.

    Thanks for the feedback. I thought of doing just all you said, but i needed a second opinion

    You could try sending her an e-card for conveying condolences. You could try writing a verse as part of the e-card that has some deeper meaning for your friend. You probably know how close your friend was to her aunt - try using it as a starting point.
