Taking to her social media account, the 37-year-old wrote, 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all the celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how.
..privately...the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves...
and the sunset.'
She further stated in her emotional message, 'Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved. Molly loved the water. I think she'll be a "little fish" as you called me. We love you and honor the things that made you so special. Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you.
I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you.
Rest in heaven, Daddy.'
The real reason behind her absence was her desire to pay tribute to her father in one of the most memorable and unique ways, taking her kids to the beach, just as the late WWE icon had loved.
