Ian Wattie, i'm sorry to hear the bad news. You are a very good friend indeed. This shows how heavy and capable are you to hold the responsibilites. Do pray for your loved ones and be strong always.
Both your mum and dad - Allahyarham & Allahyarhamah has left. And i would like to convey my condolences to them.
Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmatnya...
Amin.
