Nicky. You have been a total star throughout this whole process. You have worked so so hard on making my dad's journey memorable. Not only that you have adapted to my strange sense of humour, which is so needed now. Your smiles and laughter and joy has made this a pleasant but sad journey. I personally thank you with all my heart for your total dedication and professionalism together with your warmth. You do not know exactly what a Ray.... of sunshine you have been. Nige and Deb.x
