To Pat,Sara, Emma and Kate.

So sorry we couldn't be there with you all today.

I have many fond memories of Ian over the years of the times we all shared together as a family, particularly the many Christmas and New Years get togethers.
Ian would greet us with one of his big hugs after a long journey and always made us feel so welcome.

My favourite memories include all the times I thought he missed Father Christmas' visit every year on Christmas Eve. Ian would come back in the room after to us all telling him "you missed him AGAIN Ian!!!". He always played along for us, which made it even more magical.

And not forgetting his famous Stew... I actually grew to rather like it!

We will miss Ian very much.Sending you lots of love and thinking of you all.

Love from Trellis (Ian liked to tease me with that one!)

Sending lots of love and prayers your way at this time. I have such happy memories of holidaying in the cottages and playing pool, BBQing, having a drink in the clubhouse. I always enjoyed a beer and talking about family history with Ian and Pat. Best Wishes to you all. Jennie and the MK family.
