Dear Dave,
Firstly thank you for the wonderful work and delivery as Celebrant for my Father Leslie McKeown\’s memorial service on 18th June.
I have spoken with many since the service and had positive comments about the way Howard & Gammon, you, Brian, Kath and I did the whole funeral.
I firmly believe Dad\’s service was successful because of your part in it. The way from late Tuesday afternoon you responded by coming to my house, within 2 hours of our being with Ross Gannon.
Then how you noted Dad\’s life from my Mother\’s 16 year old handwritten notes, plus questions. Followed by suggested readings and so on. I felt by Saturday you knew my Father well and the delivery by you was brilliant and so professional. A friend said to me how lucky we were to have someone who knew him so well. So your skill and interest was appreciated by me.
Your voice has been a career and you use it well. Your approach, calmness, skill with working with people who find themselves having to suddenly arrange a funeral is reassuring. Best wishes for future Celebrant engagements.
Kind regards
Pam Tallboys
