Ian looked so beautiful and peaceful yesterday. He was a precious little angel. I was greatly touched by the tributes you and your family made to him at his service. I hope time and knowing that he is with his Father In Heaven will help ease your pain.

Murphy family- Your baby is such a precious, sweet little angel. I know you love him very much. I am so sorry for your loss and pain. Ian's story is so moving and beautiful. He was blessed also to have such a wonderful family to call his own. He is safe now with Heavenly Father and those loved ones who have passed before him. They will take very good care of him. All our love-

Mickey and Annelise, he is such a beautiful boy. As hard as this time is, we know his spirit will be near you always, you shared your love to him and little Ian gave his love to you. Our prayers are with you. With love, The John Murphy Family

I have been able to perform in theater with Annelise a few times over the last 8 years. It is hard to look back and realize that such a hard trial was yet to come for such an amazing family, but I know that the Murphy family has embraced this tragedy as a blessing and will forever cherish their little boy.

It is inspiring to read your words Annelise. Your spirit is so strong and you are so full of courage. I pray for the day you will hold your little boy again, and I am so grateful that we understand that in the meantime he is safe in Heavenly Father's arms.

All my love,
Monique
