Pleased, as always I did not purchase this as an "in loving memory" gift. Since you can write your own message, I used it to congratulate my cat-sitter on getting her doctorate. I used a picture from the day she defended her thesis, and officially became a doctor. It turned out beautifully and I can't wait to give it to her. (She's a busy gal!:) I love it and as always with P-Mall, am very happy with the quality!
