They were absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure she would have loved them so thank you for that Collette X Also for introduction me and my family to Pauline , she was amazing and did a fabulous job on the day , very personal and professional X Michael Jackson went above and beyond his duty when he very kindly not only returned mum's photo to me but , also her ashes when I was carless so again thank you for that .
