Hello Laurie & John,- thank you for such a wonderful service today. It was as special as Bunnny herself. John, I did not receive the photo you sent earlier today. Would you mind resending it to: [email protected] - Also, if you can please scan & email me a copy of the photo that was on display, it would be nice to have. It was beautiful. Again, thanks to you both for what you always did for her.
