All staff Samantha Smith and I’m so so sorry I cannot remember the lady’s name but tall dark hair with tattoos and Ben helped me through the most difficult time of my life. They were totally understanding and let me have all the time with both my precious daddy and mummy while with you. These shows of kindness support and patience make the memories more bearable as they stay with you for life so I really appreciate they understanding.
