Dina T, "My Father"

"It took me 3 years to make a decision, while his ashes remained unceremoniously packed in their cardboard box and sitting on my hall closet shelf.

I contacted Ian. 

What he created was beyond what I could have ever imagined.  He so eloquently captured my father’s essence, spirit, and soul."
