"I was with my father at his end, as he was with me at my beginning. In the thirty-three years we shared together, he raised me, taught me, corrected me, comforted me, encouraged me, and supported me in all things. He loved me, and I loved him.

"He taught me how to live. His love and his care, ever-present, always unfailing, took me from a girl to a woman—and he showed me what it is to be a man.

"All that I am is thanks to him. Now that he is gone, the task of my lifetimes is to live up to his example, his expectations, and his love.

"My father's passing comes with sorrow and grief for me, for my mother, for my brothers, and for my sisters. He was a great fire who burned bright, and we lived in his light and warmth for so very long. We know that his flame lives on in each of us. The days and years to come will not be the same without my dad—but they will be good days, filled with life and love because of the example he lived for us."

"Your prayers, for his soul and for our family, are sincerely appreciated.

"My father is gone, and I miss him only as an adoring daughter can. But in this loss, and in this sorrow, I take comfort in this: John McCain, hero of the republic and to his little girl, wakes today to something more glorious than anything on this earth. Today the warrior entered his true and eternal life, greeted by those who have gone before him, rising to meet the Author of All Things."
