The daughters of Hillsborough victim Alan McGlone spoke to the BBC
Bells will be rung 96 times across Merseyside to mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster later.
The bells of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, Liverpool Town Hall and churches as far afield as Southport and Prescot will be rung at 15:06 BST.
It marks the moment a crush that led to the deaths of 96 fans halted Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final at the Sheffield ground on 15 April 1989.
A service will be held at Liverpool's Anfield stadium from 14:45 BST.
Amy McGlone, whose father was one of the Hillsborough disaster's victims, said: "It's like going to a funeral service every year... The heartache that's there most of the time... just seems 10 times worse on the 15th."
Alan McGlone, from Kirkby, in Merseyside died aged 28.
His daughter Claire added: "You realise when you're there [at the memorial service] that you're not alone."
"None of us want to be there because obviously you've got to lose someone to go there," she added.
In Sheffield, the city's cathedral will be holding a two-minute silence at 15:07 BST, shortly after the match was abandoned.
At the Hillsborough ground, a short service and a wreath laying ceremony will take place at the memorial garden, where some of the victims' families will attend.
The stadium will remain open for people to lay flowers and remember the 96 Liverpool fans who died.
Everton Football Club will also screen the memorial service at Goodison Park in Liverpool for fans to pay their respects.
Julie Fallon, whose brother Andrew died, said: "The city of Liverpool and Anfield have been incredibly supportive over the years.
"I suppose in the quiet moments in the memorial, even though you are surrounded by thousands of people... I think each family then becomes insular for those moments really and just remembering what it means for them."
Julie's brother, whose full name was Colin Andrew Hugh William Sefton, and who came from Skelmersdale in Lancashire, died aged 23.
Many of the footballers who were playing for Liverpool on the day of the disaster and former manager Kenny Dalglish will attend the annual Hillsborough Family Support Group event.
The present Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will deliver a reading during the service along with his Everton counterpart Roberto Martinez.
Bruce Grobbelaar, the Liverpool goalkeeper on the day of the disaster, has travelled from Canada to attend the service for the first time in 10 years.

Bruce Grobbelaar: "We all have suffered; the players, the club, especially the families"
He said the disaster was a defining moment in his Liverpool career that he had never forgotten.
"Every year, at this time, you will always think of that day - I think about them and I go to church and I pray," he said.
The service will see scarves from every club in the top four divisions laid on the pitch to create a number 96 at Anfield as a "sign of unity", a spokesman for Liverpool said.
The city's mayor Joe Anderson said he hoped everyone in Liverpool and across the region would observe a minute's silence at 15:06 BST.
"We will never forget those who died at Hillsborough, and this is a day for us to unite as a city and remember each and every supporter and the friends and families left behind", he said.
The service and bell-ringing follow a weekend of tributes to the 96 fans, which saw wreaths left at Anfield's and Hillsborough's memorials to those who died and football matches in leagues across England kick-off seven minutes late.
The commemorations come as fresh inquests into the deaths of the fans are held in Warrington. The inquests have been adjourned until 22 April.
They were ordered after the original accidental death inquest verdicts were quashed in 2012 following an independent report.
