Our hearts go out to you , Auntie Jean. Uncle Ian was always so full of life and smiles. I fondly remember many Christmas dinners, and balloon fights, with Uncle Ian playing the accordian or fiddle in the background. The entire MacFarlane family cherished getting together over the holidays with your family. All the best and our condolences to you, Anne and Gavin. I regret that we will not be able to attend the service. Love to all; Graeme, Jayne, Mathew and Kelan
