Dear dad,
I'm lighting this candle for you to let you know that, as we arrange your funeral, we will be focusing on the good times. Let's face it, there were MANY.
I remember that you always nagged me about fire safety when I burnt real candles as a teenager, so you'll probably be relieved that this is a virtual one ;)
Sending lots of love to you, you were (and will continue to be) a light in so many people's lives. xxx
