Former England defender, Rio Ferdinand announced this
morning that his wife of sixty four years and mother of his
three children, Rebecca Ferdinand died in a hospital in
London following a short battle with cancer. Ferdinand
announced the sad news on the club's website this
morning. He said:
'My soul mate slipped away last night. Rebecca,
my wonderful wife, passed away peacefully after a
short battle with cancer at the Royal Marsden
Hospital in London. She was a fantastic loving
mother to our three beautiful children. She will be
missed as a wife, sister, aunt, daughter and
granddaughter. She will live on in our memory, as
a guide and inspiration.
'Myself, my parents Janice and Julian, along with
Rebecca's parents Lesley and Stephen, would like
to thank our families, friends and my club
colleagues who have rallied around in these
desperate days, weeks and months. I would also
like to express my gratitude for the dedication
and expertise of the staff led by Professors
Johnstone and Clarke at the Royal Marsden. Their
valiant efforts to prolong Rebecca's all-too-short
life will not be forgotten.
'Our grief, as a family, is total. We would
appreciate being allowed to mourn privately.'
