I cannot thank the Letchworth Team enough. They have guided me through my most heartbreaking time.
Crouch's dedication is second to none, with all the care, understanding and planning.
I asked if they could do one more thing for David on his journey to the Crematorium, that he could pass Radwell Meadows, that is where he
walked our dogs.
Dean the FD, honoured this request, he was so kind and understanding, he reversed the cars into the car parking area. I was so touched by this. Thank you.
Thank you all so much for making this very very sad occasion a little more bearable.
