Thank you so much to Stephen and Georgia from Barclays, Davidson Mains who helped us navigate such an emotional time with such dignity and professionalism throughout. Nothing was too much effort for them and the final service was such a personal and fitting tribute to Mum, she is sorely missed. They took the stress away from what is already such a difficult time and listened to our wishes. Thank you again. Ailsa
