Pastor Jeff: Before our final prayer, would anyone else like to say a few words? Mary: Missy? [Missy shakes her head] Shelly?
[Sheldon stands up and walks up to the microphone] Sheldon: I've been thinking a lot about the last moments I had with my dad. It was morning, and he was leaving for work. He said, "See y'all later." And I said nothing. I regret that. I could have said "bye" or asked him for a ride. Or told him that I loved him. But I didn't. I barely noticed he left. So many times that I didn't notice my father. I hope he knew how much I loved him. Adult Sheldon: I wish I could tell you I said all those things. But I didn't. Mary: Shelly? [Sheldon shakes his head] [Mary shakes her head to Pastor Jeff] Pastor Jeff: Let's bow our heads in prayer. All: Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name... Adult Sheldon: For a long time, I focused on my father's shortcomings. Now that I'm his age and have kids of my own, I realize he was just a person doing the best he could, and he did a lot. I didn't say it at his funeral, but I can say it now. I loved my father. I will miss him forever.
Georgie: When I quit the football team, I thought my dad was gonna kill me. And then, when I quit high school, I really thought he was gonna kill me. Then, when I got my girlfriend pregnant...

Mary: Missy, if you want a minute with Dad before they close the casket, now's the time. [Missy looks unsure] It's okay if you don't. Mary: I have to. [Missy stands up and walks up to her father's casket]
[flashback:] George: Here, let me help you with that. Okay. Missy: [eats] Holy moly. George: It's good, huh? Missy: Unbelievable. George: I'll leave you to it. Missy: No, sit with me. George: Okay.
[present:] Missy: [crying] Thank you for that. Thank you for everything. [sniffles] I love you.
