Rhona Manby (was Hutchison) aged 25, Originally from Abronhill in Cumbernauld then moved onto Falkirk 2002, passed away on 21st November 2007 aged ust 25 years.
Rhona had a very loving Family she was Daughter to Fraser and June, Sister to John and Karen and sister in law to Bernadette, also had 2 nieces Natalie and Holly and a Nephew Sean. Rhona was a loving mummy to her 2 kittens snowball and felix.
My Best Friend Rhona had cystic Fibrosis, then later diabetes, thrombosis, pluracy, which she fought for 25 years, this year in June she was meant to be getting a lung transplant which would have gave her a second life. Unfortunately Rhona could not get this operation due to other health problems. This news broke everyones hearts yet Rhona being Rhona remained strong, kept smiling and asking after everyone :-) She was an inspiration thinking of others before herself. She has spent most of her time the last few years in gartnavel Hospital, after numerous chest infections the last one took her, Peacefully in her sleep.
Rhona met her "Ronan" Lee Manby in 1999 they lived for each other and were blissfully happy, each others rock. They got engaged in Barbados in 2002,They bought a flat in Camelon, they had a huge wedding planned for Sep 2005 but a little hiccup stopped this,they then bought a 3 bedroom house in stenhouse muir, which was done up gorgeous, unfortunately Rhona didn't get to spend much time in it, as Cystic Fibrosis really took its toll on her the past 2 year. Rhona was always full of suprises and decided 10 days before her 25th birthday her n Lee wer getting married, so on Rhona's 25th birthday July this year they exchanged vows in a marcque in their garden before a reception in her mum n dads, a small affair but very personal with the people who mattered the most. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Lee has been an inspiration and looked after Rhona for the last 8 years giving her eternal happiness. In the last few months he gave up his job so he could be with her 24/7 staying in the hospital every night with her.
Rhona's 25th Birthday was special in 3 ways, her birthday, her wedding day and also our 10 year anniversary of being friends. We met on holiday on her 15th Birthday in Menorca, we quickly made friends and went about with each other all holiday. When we returned from holiday we continued our friendship by being pen friends as Iam from Wishaw and she was from Cumbernauld. We filled each other in on a weekly basis on what we were up to, friends, clothes and of course boyfriends. The letters were soon txts and we had special txts every sunday nite at 10pm, even when I moved to Spain we kept this up. We often met up for wee nights out, We both met partners at the same time and went about as a 4some for 5 year. No matter how ill rhona was she never missed a birthday bash, even when she could hardly walk she still made it on to the dance floor. She also sang at my parties she was an amazing singer :-) We had many a good laugh and thats what keeps me going when I think of the innocent funny things she said and done, that I wont write on this because its best friend secrets. When Rhona started to become really ill and the nights out wer a no-no she looked forward to my hospital visits, me telling her stories of my drunken antics, or what new shoes and clothes i'd been buying, asking after my friends and family, whilst she was really ill.She always looked on the bright side her infectious smile brightening up the room and her warm heart heating up a cold hospital ward. I loved Rhona to bits and after visiting her i'd leave the room happy knowing i'd cheered her up for a few days but as soon as i got in my car i broke down. I was hurting so much seeing her in pain like this. Now im in so much pain because she is gone, but my angel my friend forever is at peace now.
Rhona you were my world and rock, You touched so many lifes that's why Ive created this page for you, My best friend, We will be reunited in heaven. Iam devastated that I was coming to see you on the thursday and you passed on the wednesday. God needed you soon, to brighten up heaven. Everyone respected your wishes and wore lilac at your funeral today, you had a wonderful turnout. Everyone loved your cd playing as we left the church it was hearbreaking hearing your voice in song but ever so nice.
RIP angel miss and love you soo much xxxxxxx your best friend amanda xxx
Hi Rhona.
Haven't gotten into this site in ages, but I'm sure you are well aware I have been visiting your headstone and leaving flowers and things.
I just wanted to let everyone know what a great friend you are still being from up above! For those who don't know, I was really depressed after Caitlin was born, and a lot of it was that you didn't get to see her, although I am SO glad I had the sexing scan and told you about her and that her middle name was after you. But I was truly gutted you didn't get to see her. This time last year, it was particularly bad and then I had the most vivid dream in that I was chatting to you, catching up, and you told me you were fine, and then the exact words were, "I'm going to send you a baby to make you happy again". When I told Greg the next morning he said it was a nice dream but we weren't having any more kids! A few weeks later, I was puking everywhere, did a test and it was negative. I then dismissed it as having been just a dream, but a few weeks later when I woke up and started cleaning uncontollably (and we both know thats not me, right?!), I took another test and it was positive!
The pregnancy was so different to the other two...I was more sick but strangely didn't go into early labour like the other two, just what they called "hesitant" labour. My due date was the 3rd of December. In the middle of Nov, I went and got a memorial poem for you, to take to your grave on the anniversary...but couldn't because I went into labour in the early hours of the morning and Callum arrived at 11.01am on the 21st November...
When I said to the midwife, she was spooked! But honestly, I know you sent me him, from the dream to the day he arrived. Your lovely big sister told me that if you had anything to do with it, he would arrive that day, because you wouldn't want me to be sad...and he did! It's been such a comfort and has made me happy again! I am still sad when I'm pushing the pram with other friends. I always think you should be there and we should be pushing our prams together. I just wish we could. None of the other girls I know are a patch on you!
You were the best friend ever, and I will always miss and love you.
Keep on sending your love and looking down on us all, love Claire xx
Heaven and Earth ❁♥

When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
I see your smile and feel your embrace.
I hear the whisper of love in the wind
And I know that you are close to me again.
The rain speaks of tears, the thunder of pain,
But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
As the days come and go and the world moves on,
I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
We cried as you left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight.
For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!♥
i miss you x'!
Happy Birthday Aunti Rhona (L) x*
You have suffered auntie long enough,
You were brave strong and tough.
The battle you fought was long and hard,
But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.
It has hurt all of us when you left that day,
It left me broken hearted with nothing to say.
I didn't want to be selfish say please don’t leave,
Because I did not want to hurt or grieve.
I know in my heart you are in a better place,
But I swear im going to miss your beautiful face.
I am going to miss the talks we would have,
And the stories I would tell that would make you laugh.
God just needed you to come home,
Yes we know it has made us sore.
You will always be remembered every single day,
From the smile on your face to the things you would say.
You have taken your space in heaven right where you belong,
Right up there with Charles, Grandma, Diane, and my mom.
Yes we all know that we need to be strong,
But through our family your memory will live on.
You don’t need to fight anymore just let go and let God,
While you were here on earth you did your job.
You did your part to keep family together,
that’s why you will remain in our hearts always and forever.
I will always love you & time has passed so fast , i still cant beleive you are gone sometimes :-| , & i just wish i could see your bright smile once again !

A Tear Fell .
I shed a tear today
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it
shared it
held it
felt it
then
suddenly
it wasn't
so big
after all
x
You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.
i love & miss you lots ,
with all my heart (L)
