Dearest unforgettable Ian

It's been a month now and I'm still having trouble understanding or even believing what's happened? Why do such terrible things happen to the best of people? I know you are in a much better place now and can just picture you sitting there having a meaningful conversation with Prince!
My heart truly goes out to all your family, Jackie, John, Paul, Neil, Mel, Oliver and Carys. If there is anything at all I can do please just ask xx

Ian. I am sorry i never had the fortune of meeting you and your lovely family but feel like i knew you all as your mum always used to speak so fondly ov you all. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
