Dear Laurie,
This is a beautiful tribute to your sons life. Thank you for creating it and sharing it with all of us. My thoughts are with you and your family often.

Laurie-
I just found the sympathy card I wrote you almost 2 months ago (I thought it had been sent long ago). Our warmest thoughts continue to be with you and your family.

I have, and will miss Ian for years to come, I used to travel with him at our high school, AQ. I lived with him for 3 years at AQ, and he became a brother to me. I feel a great regret for not staying in contact with him through-out the years, but I have not forgoton Ian. Not a week in my life goes by with out his face pop-ing into my mind. Ian made me feel like a hero when he decided not to run the waterfall in costa rica...and I did. let me tell you, it was the first and only time I showed him up....and not to mention he was years younger than I...Let the waters still flow, parhaps to a bay.. and Ian still play.. With love, Gwen Greeley

Laurie - Beautiful eulogy...My vision of you beaming as you witnessed Ian's incredible success as a vibrant sportsman and honor student is perfectly clear. Ian sounds like an extraordinary son and a young man who was haunted with a dark side that we cannot change and perhaps ever fully understand. Your own strength and endless enthusiasm for life and faith will keep you close to the everlasting spirit of your baby. I know you are a wonderful Mom. Ian’s brother will find comfort in having you all to himself.
Prayers for your continued passion for life…
Love,
Barbie

Dear Laurie, Rich, Scotty and Bonnie
Just wanted to let you know that our thoughts and love are with you. My memories of Ian as a child playing at the farm in Claremont have always stayed with me. He never did show any fear but always found fun and adventure while playing, especially outside. It was a privilage to care for Ian, Scotty and Bonnie as children, if not tiring at times to keep up with them. Ian especially, was always on the move. He will be missed.

Ian and I went to school together in Vancouver. He helped make my time there the most wonderful and memorable of my life, and I miss him deeply. There aren't words for how sorry I am and how much I miss my friend.

Laurie,
Please accept our condolences and sympathy. This is without question the worst fear of every parent. However, it is his life, the people whose lives he affected, influenced, and improved that are forever changed. Ian's memory will continue in the lives of those he touched. I know this personally as our youngest son Chris lost a classmate and friend senior year. The good memories are permanent and always transcend through sorrow. Peace be with you and your family.

Dear Laurie,
I heard from Margo about your son, Ian. I am so sorry for your loss; it is incomprehensible, I'm sure, for anyone who has not experienced the death of a child. I am a kayaker, too, and, without knowing him, I know that he must've experienced some incredible highs in his enjoyment of that sport alone. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Laurie and family -
I am so sorry about the loss of your son, grandson and brother. From the comments written here, it is evident that Ian was a great friend, a valued companion, an adventurer - someone who made a lasting impression on the people around him. His legacy is one of kindness, enthusiasm and love.
Holding you in the Light,
Pete Bansen - Germantown Friends, '73

Ian and I became close while we travelled with Huge Experiences. He was a very intelligent and thoughtful human being and I will miss him, and am very sad to hear the news. He was a very good person and friend - always looking out for everyone. Please accept my deepest sympathies for this loss..

Dear Laurie, Rich, Scotty and Bonnie,
I am a very good friend of Laurie's from college. We don't see each other much due to distance. But my heart goes out to Laurie and her family as you grieve for your son/brother Ian. I only met Ian when he was small, but I enjoyed seeing him grow up through Christmas cards and email pictures. Know that my family has you in their hearts and prayers. Love, Susan, Roger and Kira Burke

Dear Richard, Laurie, Scotty, and Bonnie,
You don't know us, our son, Jesse Wilensky, knew Ian from AQ and paddling and we had the good fortune to meet Ian when visiting Jesse. My husband and I want you to know that we were so sorry to hear of Ian's death and we hold him and you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember Ian as an enthusiastic paddler who was always up for a challenge on the river. He was younger than some of the other students but he had the stamina and drive to keep up with them. When I think back on my mental image of Ian, he has a smile on his face and a spray skirt around his waist.
The loss of a child is such a very painful loss. I hope that you can find some peace in the days to come.
Susan and Mark Wilensky
