    David and his team made, what was a horrendous time for us much more bearable to give my dad the dignified send off he deserved.
    David in particular went more than the extra mile for us as a family, working behind the scenes to fix problems and mistakes the health services made, making sure we got to spend that extra time with dad when it mattered.
    Beautiful settings, reassuraning, informative and friendly staff. Thank you so much, it meant the world to us. Your all stars!
