No words can express my sorrow during this time of tragedy, yet I know that though Ian is no longoer with us here, God has granted me the peace of knowing that he is praising his Lord and Savior on High. May the Almighty Father, who forgives our sins, grant you the peace he has given me.

Christy and family, I will dearly miss Ian. He was the nicest person I have ever worked with and was always there when we needed help. I don't have any words that will help you through this, only time, and that sometimes seems forever. All my best to you and your family.

I never had the opportunity to meet Ian, but I was present at the scene of the accident. I know that day god put me in a place where I belonged. I remember his wife holding on to my arm as tight as she could telling me not to leave her. I would like you to know that you and your family will always be in my prayers and god bless.

I will never forget your beautiful spirit and gentle heart. I rarely saw you, but the times we were able to spend together were fun. I will always remember when you and Christy and precious Josiah came to visit us last year, and you and I went to your first ever NBA game to see the Pacers play the Mavs. It was an excellent night and I am so glad that I had the oppurtunity to do that with you. I always thought you were the perfect addition to our family, and that Christy could never have found anyone that was better or more suitable than you. We all loved you and will always love you. You will be missed by us greatly.
