Their funeral took place in north-west London where their father, Joseph Jacobson, said “no words can truly describe the pain of losing three daughters” in a heartbreaking tribute, reports the BBC.
“You were more than my daughters: you were my joy, my strength and the beautiful light that filled my life with love,” he wrote in the order of service.
“There are moments when it feels unbearable, but I hold tightly to the memories we shared, the love we knew and the bond that nothing can ever take away.
“Jane, I will never forget your strength. Tina, your kindness touched so many lives. Becky, your warmth and joyful spirit brought happiness wherever you went.”

The women’s cousin said at the funeral that their “lives will never be forgotten” and their “memory will live on forever”.
She added they had “accomplished so much” and revealed Adetoro was a senior accountant, Christina was a junior accountant and Rebecca a HR administrator.
A frantic search was launched at 5.45am after reports of a person in the water near Brighton.
Emergency services were called to the beach near Black Rock car park off Madeira Drive as the tragedy unfolded.
Police later confirmed three women had been pulled from the water following a huge emergency response.
It was feared they were “suddenly dragged into danger after misjudging the shingle shelf” close to the water’s edge.
One local, who had been feeding birds near the scene at around 6am, told The Jattvibe: “It was extremely windy, cold and choppy in the water.
“I’m not sure why anyone would have been in the sea. What’s happened is awful.”
Another added: “It’s absolutely tragic.”
An inquest recently heard how Rebecca’s body washed up on the shore while Christina and Jane were found in the water by the RNLI.
The siblings’ heartbroken father identified his children 16 years after their mum Janice, 43, was also found drowned after disappearing in Birmingham.
The provisional cause of death for the women is yet to be ascertained.
Senior coroner Penelope Schofield confirmed police believe there is no third party involvement in the sisters’ deaths.
She added: “I hope this will stop the social media speculation around the circumstances of their deaths.”
It was heard the sisters lived at the same address in Greenford, West London, at the time of their death.
The coroner also offered her condolences to dad Joseph, who watched the proceedings via videolink.
She said the loss of his daughters must be “unbearable” and adjourned the inquest until October 8.
Chief Superintendent Adam Hays of Sussex Police said previously that they would “leave no stone unturned in our investigation“.
