The following is the sentence I want to say but I'm not sure if I can use two semi-colons or if i should put it in quotes. Thank you all so much for your input, i really appreciate it!
As my dad likes to say to me; you mean more than the world to me; this is true from all of us and your spirit is within each one of us continuing your legacy.
(by the way this is a good-bye letter/ obituary. and i think it might sound funny from using "us" so many times, but it's understandable, can anyone offer any alternatives?)
thanks again!

This would be better as more than one sentence, but if you need to write it as one it should be punctuated like this:
As my dad likes to say to me, you mean more than the world to me; this is true for all of us, and your spirit is within each one of us, continuing your legacy.
Note that "this is true from all of us" is changed to "this is true for all of us," which is more clear. You could also say "of us all."
As more than one sentence you might put it like this:
As my dad likes to tell me, "You mean more than the world to me." For you, this is true of us all. Your spirit is within each of us, continuing your legacy.
P.S:
Sorry for your loss.

Use quotations for it, not semi colons
