Dad, you were loved by all. You'll be missed more than words can
say.
The world was a better place with you in it, Now may God bless you and keep you in his care.

"The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature."
"A girl's first true love is her father."
"The greatest mark of a father is how he treats his children when no one is looking." "No man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much."

Dad, though we grieve you now, your memory will live on through the family. Thank you for all the memories and love you shared.
