Miss you so much Dad, even after 22 years. I still ask your kind smiling photo for advice or did I make the right decision. Love you dad. XX
CloseI lost my dad 14 years ago and my mum 4 weeks ago. They were both loved dearly by their children grandchildren and great grandchildren. I’ve thought about my dad almost every day since he died, my mum is still at the forefront of my thoughts but I know they will be together again, and at peace.
CloseThankyou for all the wonderful care you give, you helps my dad pass in peace and with dignity, and we will be eternally grateful for this. Xx
CloseOur dad, Cyril Rigby, was a dedicated husband and father who worked tirelessly throughout his working life to provide his wife and his six children a good family upbringing. In our childhood days he had a second employment going out to work in the early hours of the morning before he started his full-time employment during the day. In addition and whilst our mother went to evening employment our dad would care for the six of us and prepare us for bed. All his hard work enabled us as a family to go on holiday adventures throughout our childhood year's. When it became time in our adult life for each one of us to leave our family home and to progress in our lives, dad would spend any spare hours he had to carry out his DIY skills to help us all to make our newly purchased homes functional. During his early retirement due to a back injury, he took up his childhood skill of sketching and painting with much of his artwork hanging on walls in family homes. Other pass times included gardening when the weather allowed and pottering in the garage repairing and making items. Dad had several minor illnesses in later life and in his early eighties he started to lose his sight due to mascular degeneration. Not to be deterred he travelled to London eye clinic, accompanied by our mum and family members on many occasions, hopefully to improve his eyesight by having a corrective lens fitted. Sadly for him the operation was unsuccessful. But this did not deter him from telling his dad jokes over and over again until his final day's. May 2023 he spent his first spell in hospital after waking up with the total loss of his sight in one eye and was diagnosed with having had a minor stroke. In July 2023 he was back in hospital and remained there until August 2023. He was discharged to spend the remaining months of his life at his home on palliative care. All his family rallied around to care and help make his last months as comfortable as possible. He had hoped he would reach his 90th birthday but fell short by months. He will always be remembered by his loving wife, Bernice, his six children, Christine, Linda, Michael, Valerie, Jacqueline, Karen and their partners, his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
