Special thanks to Ellen, Laura and Paul for supporting me throughout from arranging the funeral, the chapel of rest and support, help and guidance. The day itself was done with compassion and ensuring all requests and wishes were met smoothly which allowed me to grief respectfully and celebrate their life.
