"Dad, I would so much like you to be with me, to see your grandchildren, to be at my wedding, but life has decided otherwise. I don't want to believe that you are gone so badly. That I will never feel your embrace, that I will never hear your voice, that you will simply not be there at all, it's hard for me, very hard, it's such an unreal pain that I will never wish on anyone," Anastasia wrote on her Facebook page.
