Rebecca Ferdinand, wife of
QPR defender Rio, has
passed away following a
short battle with cancer.
The former England centre-
back issued a short
statement through QPR's
official website paying tribute to a "wonderful wife".
The couple have been married since 2009 and have
three children.
"My soulmate slipped away last night. Rebecca, my
wonderful wife, passed away peacefully after a short
battle with cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in
London," he wrote.
"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."
QPR players wore black armbands as a sign or respect
during their Premier League clash with Liverpool on
Saturday.
