“Saying farewell to a loved one is incredibly sad but brings with it the opportunity to celebrate a life and convey how much they were loved,” Nicole
This bright ‘colourful’ dress was a request by a well loved, bright, bold and super smart woman who lived a magnificent life right up until the end. Her memorial will long be remembered as she will for her style and adventurous spirit.
