Dear Brenda,
Ian is someone my family will remember because he helped us
a lot when we arrived here. I still remember him playing with my son and putting that chain on the door. We are all hurting with you, and praying for all of you. May God bless you, and comfort you like only He can.

Ian has always been like a brother to us. We hate that we were not there to help in his last days. We really had no idea that his health had deteriorated so quickly. We feel so blessed to have spent that time with him over Christmas.
Know that we are here for you in the days, weeks, months, and years to follow. You are our family.
We love you all.
