'I miss you more than anything in the world'

Summer Warne says her dad gave "110 per cent" in everything he did.

"Which is one out of the million things I loved about you Dad. Your constant determination and never giving up and what you wanted to do next in your life," she says.

"You took pride in every little thing us kids would do because you loved us with your whole heart. You truly did have a golden heart, Dad. Your endless advice is something I'm going to forever miss."

She says she would always feel safe in his presence.

"I really am going to miss you Dad," she says.

"It has been exactly 26 days since you went to heaven and I miss you more than anything in the whole world. I would do anything just to have one more you have your cuddles and to hear your voice tell me how proud of me you were and how much you loved me. I never thought one's voice to bring such comfort until I can no longer hear it.

"I've had to come to terms with the fact that you won't be able to walk down the aisle on my special day and be by my side. You're  not going to meet your grandchildren that you're going to have some day, but instead you're going to be be someone I will tell my kids about and how much of an amazing father you were to me."

She says she will cherish her 20 years of memories until she's reunited with her dad, including coming home to him snoring on the couch.

"I want to say thank you Dad. Thank you for all the kind gestures you always did for me. They never went unnoticed. You drew memories in my mind I will never erase and you painted colours in my heart I will never replace.

"You will always live forever inside my heart Dad, and I will continue your legacy.

"Forever my Dad, no matter where you are. May you now rest in eternal paradise, I love you so unconditionally much. Love SJ.
