A very sweet story and kind of a font ID request

[Andy D]

This real old guy comes in, maybe 85 or 90, barley gets around, took 5 minutes to get from his truck to the front counter & I had to yell so he would hear me.
He wanted to have his wife’s favorite sign redone for her.

I know it's kind of silly, but I want to get it as close to the same as possible, I have all the fonts, except the last word "Favorite", it's not the same as "Love Story"... All I have is the top of the "F"
Any guesses on the script?

These may get you closer. Ladybird, Merveille or Delima

Looks like gerber fonts so far, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

If its Gerber then it probably Script DM100037.

Seeing how it was either masked or pounced.... then handpainted, back in the early days of computers alotta people would use the computer fonts for most and use an off-the-brush script for a very personalized sign. That last line just might be all handpainted. You'd need a little more to go on or a closer look at the faded section. Perhaps it would be ever-so-slightly embossed from the paint. I doubt a photo will bring that out enough.

Odd, how that faded but nothing else. Almost like on purpose.

Birds of Paradise has an F like that.

Looks to possibly be Roundhand BT

Actually I think it was a mass produced faux painted sign, the wood was press wood that his wife had outside...
I'm making sure she can put it anywhere she likes and it will last for years.
