It's gorgeous and you just knew I would LOVE it and I do!
Thank you Alex, Philly, Ed and Andrew, It was a true privilege to have taken your dad on his final journey.

What truly amazing and most heartwarming and touching words from a mum whose gorgeous daughter we were privileged to take care of this week.
It never ceases to amaze me that bereaved families who are going through the most difficult time, take time to choose a card and write such lovely, lovely words. It makes what we do so much worthwhile.
Thank you Cheryl. It was an honour to have taken Holly on her final journey. Forever 32....
