Wishing all the family long life. Your memories are a wonderful tribute and the description of your parents relationship reminds me so much of my late parents.

How precious are our wonderful Dads growing up, and precious our memories when they are no longer there. I miss my lovely Dad every day.

May your father's memory be a blessing, Nicole.

Thank you for sharing your memories of your father. He sounds an amazing person.

I’m sorry for your loss and I know it will take time to come to terms with his death but hearing about your life with him sounds like you were very lucky to have him.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Wishing you long life. May I recommend a book: H Is For Hawk. The film is good, but the book is all about coping with the death of an adored and enigmatic father and really helped me.

@Nicole, thank you for sharing the eulogies for your dear Dad (z’l) .. you three ladies have made my tear ducts busy, as you share the warm love and fond memories of your family. Outlining your Dad’s (z’l) background, early life, married life his love of his family and seeing the family all together in that lovely photo, shows how fast our lives progress. Time waits for no one.

Wishing you all ‘long life’, and your Dad’s (z’l) memory will always be a blessing ✡️.

We never really die as long as we live on in someone's memories.

My grandfather who died in 1959 is still alive in me. He should have died on the Somme sometime between 1914 - 1918 ... but he was one of the lucky ones that came through it without a single scratch despite being at the Front.

And leave it to babes and innocents to state the simple facts of life, and death ... As my 5 year old grandson Nate stated quite sincerely: ''Grandad, you're old and you'll die soon''

Aren't they the gift that keeps giving? LMAO! ;o)
