  1. What a beautiful celebration of a long life, lived so graciously, kindly and lovingly. The recollections shared by family and friends provided broad brush-strokes of Ian and Shirley, but the intricate details are added in by our own memories of this special family who lived quietly, but very successfully – in the truest sense of that word. To the family members and friends – you are very privileged to have been within the influence, nurture, example and care of this faithful couple. The accurate, descriptive term “gentle-man” emerged several times during Ian’s service … how very, very true.
    With fond memories,
    Lynne Dickson (nee Brain)

  2. Dear Shirley and family,
    We were pleased to be able to join you online for this service which was so thoughtfully prepared and presented. Neil remembers Ian well from the time spent together at Queens College in the 1950s. Ian remained thoughtful and caring throughout his life. His funeral service conveyed the warmth and love shared with his family. Our thoughts are with you all.

    Love Neil & Joan Wilkinson

  5. Such a beautiful service, celebrating the inspirational life of our Uncle Ian. We loved him very much and he was so special to our Mum, “Heddy.” I can only imagine the music they are making together, riding Heaven’s golden highways in joyful abandon with Jesus. Sending all our love to you Auntie Shirley, Anne, Michael, Alison and family.
