Papá Inés,

En este momento de dolor y tristeza,

Nuestros corazones se rompen en mil pedazos,

Tu partida nos deja un vacío inmenso,

Un hueco que no se llena, un dolor que no cesa.

Te amamos tanto, papá,

Y no sabemos cómo vivir sin ti,

Eras nuestro guía, nuestro amigo, nuestro todo,

Un ángel que nos cuidaba con amor y ternura.

Recuerdos de ti nos llenan la mente,

De risas, de abrazos, de momentos compartidos,

Pero ahora, solo queda el silencio,

Un silencio que duele, un dolor que no se va.

Papá, te llevas nuestro corazón contigo,

Pero sabemos que estás en un lugar mejor,

Donde no hay dolor, ni tristeza, ni lágrimas,

Solo amor, paz y felicidad.

Te amamos, papá, y siempre te amaremos,

En nuestros corazones, tu amor vivirá,

Un recuerdo eterno, un amor que no muere,

Un adiós, papá, que duele, pero que nos hace fuertes.

Descansa en paz, papá, con cariño tus hijos y esposa reina
