The cookbook author said she is \"heartbroken\" that her father is gone but said knowing he's at peace brings her comfort.

\"I promise you I will watch over Mom and take care of her as you did for over 60 years,\" she added. \"Thank you for being such a dedicated husband and showing me what a true gentleman is. Thank you for being a wonderful Dad and Gramps and being there for us.\"

Thiessen ended her post, writing: \"But most of all, thank you for loving me like you always did. No matter what, you had my back and were my biggest fan. I loved making you proud.\"
