The 53-year-old actress lost her beloved father only last week and their irrevocable bond was clear when Jennifer took to Instagram with this heart-breaking tribute: “Sweet papa… John Anthony Aniston,

You were one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew. I am so grateful that you went soaring into the heavens in peace – and without pain. And on 11/11 no less! You always had perfect timing. That number will forever hold an even greater meaning for me now. I’ll love you till the end of time.” The star concluded the message with a plea that moved at least one fan to tears…

“Don’t forget to visit”, were Jennifer’s final words to her father on her Instagram post which included four beautiful images of the father-daughter-pair that spanned decades.

Every year, the night before Thanksgiving, Jennifer hosts an additional “Fakesgiving” celebration and has previously shared details of her joyfully elaborate feasts which are attended by the likes of Courteney Cox, to Jimmy Kimmel, Reese Witherspoon and Justin Theroux. However this year, her closest friends have kept their celebrations away from social media.
