She commended many, including complete strangers who didn鈥檛 hesitate to try to help her dad and others in the aftermath of the attack.

鈥淔rom our policing colleagues and friends at the Vancouver Police Department and the RCMP, who have been unwavering in their love and support; to Albert, who threw a family member on the back of his scooter to rush him to the hospital after tragedy struck; to the Air Canada employee who offered up a personal discount pass to make emergency flights more affordable; to the people who assisted my dad in his final moments, and those who focused on my mum鈥檚 urgent medical attention and aftercare; and to the Catalonian first responders who put their lives at risk for the safety of others.鈥�

Ian Moore Wilson was in Spain with his wife of 53 years, Valerie 鈥� who was featured in PAN in 2011, in connection with her to raise funds to help Kent Street Activity Centre members who qualified to compete in the BC Seniors Games with the associated costs of attending.

鈥淢y dad鈥檚 passing leaves an immense void in our tight-knit family. He was desperately loved by us all and will be dearly missed.鈥�
