Ian i miss you so much, a day doesnt go by when i dont think about you. Everywhere i go i see you, in school, the park, and all of wethersfield. i miss having someone that would always go smoke a cigarette with me in the courtyard at school, you were never afraid, and our long talks. You always made me smile and still do when i think about you, you've taught me a lot. i love you sunshine miss you sooo much.
Goodbye
We always take for granted,
what we think we never lose.
Because we never think it would happen,
until we hear the dreaded news.
They say you were chosen for his garden,
His preciously hand picked bouquet.
"God really needed him,
That's why he couldn't stay."
Saying goodbye is never easy,
It's the hardest thing to do.
But what hurts me even more
Is not the chance to say it to you.
So today, Jesus, as you are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my friend Ian Wells,
And give him all my love!
This is a beautiful site
You have done a beautiful job honoring Ian. What great friends you must have been.
I am sorry for your loss.

Ian we will miss you and we will never forget you
When you feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.
