dad passed away

[Scotsman]

Deepest condolences to you.

As for how long the tribute should be, there isn't a set length/time in these things. Say what you want to say not what you think you need to say. It is usually good to include a typical story of your relationship, like some time when you went camping/fishing/vacation that is how you want to remember him.

The only thing to think about is to not write so much that you can't get through it, it will be deeply emotional and very difficult to do, but there is nothing that is wrong to put in, remember that.

Best of wishes,
Scotsman

Sorry for your loss. I had to give a eulogy for my mother's funeral recently.
My advice: talk about your earliest memories, shared times, get specific.
print it out in very large font, double spaced.
You're likely to be very emotional when you're reading it,
and small type font isn't going to work.

A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that this person brought you did not leave, for the essence of their soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.

Cling to the memories of your Dad and let them find their way to heal you. The love and the laughter, the joy in the togetherness that you and your family have shared, will make you strong.

Keep your heart beating with the loving memories of him, and trust in your faith to guide you through. Know that, though life moves on, the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace you. Your Dad has left you that...to hold in your hearts forever.

My Deepest Sympathys go out to you and your family.

My condolences & prayers. The near future will be tough, but hang on to your family. My mother passed away 15 yrs ago at 47 & still, not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Take care.
