I would almost go as far as Annissa being telepathic, as whenever I thought to contact her, she would contact me. That would indicate that communication was just righy. I had a dilema to choose either a new headstone or to add inscription to the existing stone, which also needed some tlc. Annissa costed both options for me so that i could compare and offered as much information as possible. She also set out expectations in timescale and what could be achieved. These were accurate and im more than pleased with the finished headstone. Annissa Thank you for your guidance, patience and support through this process.
