We have measured the size effect in nonlocal Gilbert relaxation rate in FM(t$_{FM}$) / Cu (5nm) [/ Pt (2nm)] / Al(2nm) heterostructures, FM = \{ Ni$_{81}$Fe$_{19}$, Co$_{60}$Fe$_{20}$B$_{20}$, pure Co\}. Common behavior is observed for three FM layers, where the additional relaxation obeys both a strict inverse power law dependence $\Delta G =K \:t^{n}$, $n=-\textrm{1.04}\pm\textrm{0.06}$ and a similar magnitude $K=\textrm{224}\pm\textrm{40 Mhz}\cdot\textrm{nm}$. As the tested FM layers span an order of magnitude in spin diffusion length $\lambda_{SDL}$, the results are in support of spin diffusion, rather than nonlocal resistivity, as the origin of the effect.
