When sending written greetings - "with love" or "love" to a grand-son or grand-daughter do you use Le searc or le grá/ghrá?

Buíochas.

"Le grá,"

would be how I'd close a letter.
If you want to add a name then it's

"Le grá ó (Name)"

Most non-Irish names can be left unaltered, but if you are using the Irish form of a name, I'm sure the folks here can tell you the whole phrase.

"Love, Nan" for example would be
"Le grá ó Mhamó"
"Love, Grandda" = "Le grá ó Dhaideo"
