Legendary musician Tom Petty died Monday night at 66 after going into cardiac arrest. His death sparked an outpouring of grief from the music world and from his fans, but one of the most heartfelt tributes came from a member of his own family.

Artist Annakim Violette, the younger of his two daughters, used social media to share memories about her father, People reports. (Petty’s older daughter is director Adria Petty, who has worked on music videos for artists like Beyoncé.)

Both while he was hospitalized and after his death, an account that appears to belong to Violette posted tributes to Petty, both as a musician and as a dad. She posted several photos with her father, with captions like, “We are all a mirror of divine love” and “He made all his dreams real.”

We love u
