To Marjory, Pam and David and your respective spouses and families we offer our sincerest condolences and warm regards. We were saddened by the news of Ian's passing. My brother Terry informed me today of the details. You have our prayers and thoughts at this difficult time and we hope your fond memories and love will help you at this time. I have fond memories of Ian over the last 50 years and always remember Ian and Marj as kind and warm souls. In particular I recall the wonderfull garden Ian and Marj had created and impressed by its magnificence . I was always delighted by their Scottish brogue whenever we spoke and when we parted I always left with a warm feeling. This showed me the genuine character of Ian and Marj who are true friends of the Crawford clan. In the end we are remembered by how we treat one another and I feel blessed and thankful to have known Ian. Our children Adam and Laila met Marjory and Ian at Don And Dolores Wilson's 50th wedding anniversary and remembered them when I mentioned the news today. So we will continue to remember Ian. We wont be able to attend the funeral service but I have asked Terry to offer condolences on our behalf. All the best Marjory, David and Pam.
