Its always comforting when someone gives you their condolences after a loss. The best way to show your appreciation is simply by sending a thank you note.
A smile and a heartfelt "Thank you".
People offer condolences after you have experienced a loss, such as "You have my condolences" after a death in your family. Simply say, "Thank you" and if you wish, continue the conversation, whether it is about the death or another topic.
You can say, "Thank you so much for your kind words and support during this difficult time. Your condolences mean a lot to me and my family. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and are grateful to have you in our lives."
It is proper etiquette to acknowledge all formal expressions of condolances (cards, donations, flowers, food) with a thank you note.
You can reply to someone who offers their condolences by expressing your gratitude for their support. A simple response like, "Thank you for your kind words; they mean a lot to me during this difficult time," is appropriate. You may also share a brief memory or thought about the person you lost, if you feel comfortable, to acknowledge their connection.
A regular pink rose represents happiness. If someone gives you this it means "I am very happy with our relationship". A dark pink rose means thank you. If someone does something nice for you it is a good way of saying "thank you". A light pink rose means sympathy. When someone has a loss it is a nice way of expressing your condolences.

"My condolences."
Condolences 'are' is correct, "condolences", by definition, are plural.
To condole means to express sympathy for someone. Often used to send "condolences" to someone. An example would be: "Betty went home from college to condole with her mother after her father's death".
