Sorry for the loss of you love one. Praying for your comfort.
Dear Dad, I still can't find the right words to say goodbye, because a part of me feels like you should still be here. You were more than my father—you were my hero, my protector, my guide, and my safe place. You showed me what strength looks like, not just through your hard work, but through your love, patience, and dedication to family. I watched you push through challenges without giving up, and because of you, I learned how to be strong even when life feels heavy. Everything I am carries pieces of you. Thank you for every sacrifice you made, every lesson you taught, and every moment you stood by me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and believing in me, even when I doubted myself. Your voice, your laugh, and your wisdom will live in my heart forever. Losing you has left an ache that words can't fully explain, but I find comfort knowing that your love never leaves me. I will carry your legacy forward, make you proud, and hold onto the memories we shared. You may be gone from my sight, but never from my heart. I miss you more than I can say. I love you always. Your daughter, Bernika
Bernika and all the families I send my prayers and condolences. May precious memories keep and sustain you during this difficult time and the days to come
