A special thanks to the policemen and first responder who attended my mum the day she died. They were so kind and professional it helped the family immensely.

We are especially grateful to Fr. Butler for his pastoral care and for celebrating Mum’s beautiful Requiem Mass. Sincere thanks to Moira Crawley for the beautiful music and singing which made the Mass so meaningful and special.
