Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and their young daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret presented a solemn, united front in saying goodbye to family patriarch Dr. Antony Kidman at his funeral Friday.

The Far & Away beauty and American Idol judge were front-and-center at the St. Francis Xavier Church in Sydney, Australia’s Lavendar Bay region, where they bid farewell to Antony, after the 75-year-old reportedly suffered a fatal heart attack in Singapore last week.

Eulogizing her father, Nicole said she was grateful to have spent time in the states with her late father, three weeks before his death, recalling an anecdote about he wolfed down pizza she had intended on them sharing.

“I am so grateful he came to New York,” she said, “and I’m so glad he ate all that pizza.”

She added, “I’m so lucky to be his daughter, and that he chose my mother to make me with,” and vowed that she’d take care of his widow.

“I want to say to him, don't worry … I love you Papa,” she added.
