his wife of six 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.'
