In a touching tribute posted to Instagram on Sunday, she shared a sweet throwback shot of the two of them, along with an extremely heartfelt message.
She wrote:
I missed you even while you were here. I will miss you infinitely more now that you’re gone. Thank you for holding on as long as you did. I know you tried your best. You are free now. I will love you always, Dad. I can feel you with me. Rest now. In PEACE. I miss your voice. I wish more people could have heard it. I promise I will keep singing for you. Joel Maurice Levesque.

What a beautiful picture.
The Say Love singer even continued to share during her difficult time:
Today I will be singing the national anthem to honor my dad. He was a disabled veteran. I wish he was here with me today. He would have cried. I will be crying because I miss him already. We all thought it would happen eventually… But now that it’s happened, I can’t believe this is real life. #RIPJoel #GodblessAmerica #GodblessFrance and may God help us all to love and understand each other better. To lead with compassion and live in peace on this one planet we are entrusted with.A photo posted by JoJo (@iamjojo) on Nov 15, 2015 at 9:15am PST
It must have been a beautiful performance!
Our thoughts and prayers are with JoJo and her family as they continue to grieve.
