The daughter of Aussie cricket icon Dean Jones, who died overnight, posted a message to her dad that’s both haunting and incredibly sad.
But no one is feeling his sudden death more keenly than his family — wife Jane and daughters Isabella and Phoebe.
What makes Phoebe’s final post to her father both haunting and incredibly sad are the loving words she attached to the photo. She posted it on Father’s Day after Jones had just left to travel to the subcontinent to perform his commentary duties for Star Sports. “This is me waiting for @profdeano to come home and he’s only just left!! Happy Father’s Day to the most dedicated and generous man I know,” Phoebe wrote “I love you!”
