Report
I wish to thank Paul McCauley for his genuine concern, kindness and attention to detail during this time in our family's life. I especially appreciate his "no hard sale" concerning the pre funeral arrangement made by my cousin months prior to her death. Everything was exactly as she had planned, down to the casket spray of flowers. Thanks again Paul, you made this difficult time much easier than I had anticipated.
