Open letter from Inaki Ochoa's family
12:21 am CDT May 26, 2008
Here is an open letter that Inaki's family asked to be published:
"It is about impossible to personally express our gratitude to all those who helped us at overcoming our pain of losing Iñaki."
"We would like to tell that through the words of so many cheer messages, through the vital cooperation and the work developed along those intense days of personal efforts at fighting his deadly disappearing, have been an important medicine to sooth our pain."
"The disappearance of someone as healthy and stable, so bright and joyful as Iñaki has awaken a social solidarity movement with his way of walking through life and mountains, far above expectations."
"By noticing the help you all wanted to bring him right in front of death, you allow us to believe and feel that there are reasons not to forget his joy, and to hope that his style helps others to build their own love for freedom."
"Father, Mother and Brothers of Iñaki Ochoa de Olza Seguín, May 23, 2008"
Inaki Ochoa had a 7 year old Golden Retriever named Ulises and told ExWeb that his mom and dad are great Himalayan climber parents, "they know everything about it." Inaki's dad was big in martial art, and so was Inaki - perhaps reflecting his overall life philosophy.
Inaki had 3 younger brothers, "none of them a climber, and all of them more talented than me," he said.
