To Carl, Brett and members of staff
Although the words 'thank you' are not enough, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for the love, care and attention you gave me on the far too soon and very sad loss of my precious, only child, Melissa.

Nothing was to much trouble and you did not only do me proud Carl, but you also made the day magical for
