I miss you more than ever and wish I could turn back time and give you the biggest hug. You are the best brother that anyone could ask for. You always protected me and showed your love. I just can't believe I will never see your beautiful smile again. I love you and I promise I will look after mom, Rhea, Jenny and Brayden.

My heart aches for all of Ian's Family and Friends. I didn't know your loved one, but I have children close to Ian's age and can slighty (only slighty) feel what you must be going through at this time. I've never gone throught it, and can only imagine. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you all.
