I would like to compliment and thank you for the excellent personal service I received from you, once again. Your kindness and compassion during a very difficult time and your help at such short notice really meant a lot. From my previous experience with you and SABBA, I knew that I could depend on you once again, without any hesitation and the whole process was flawless. Thank you. The butterflies were absolutely beautiful and gave the memorial service a very gentle touch. People were in awe of such a simple tribute and it once again brought a small sense of wonder during a difficult time. I cannot recommend you and SABBA highly enough, not only for your professionalism, but also for the little bit of healing you pass on to others. I will most certainly use your services again. Thanks again,

We were very happy with your prompt turn-around time and the professional way you always accommodated our requests (at the last minute). In that regard, we are very happy to endorse you and refer you to our network. It may be slightly challenging to provide detailed feedback on the butterfly release experience as these were for a funeral and memorial service. While they certainly added a beautiful touch –the circumstances were undeniably very difficult.

Deryck Earle Whiteley passed away on the 30th December 2010. A few days later at his final resting place, during the distribution of his ashes, hundreds of butterflies were released as a farewell to him, the father of Earle Whiteley. It was an amazing sight where butterflies lingered on and fed on local indigenous flowers. As if in salute of his passing. An experience I shall never forget.
