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
I Love You .x'oO
thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
x'oO (L) Miss You So Much Aunti Rhona (L)
candle of love
Few people come into our lives
and make everything shine,
but you're one of those
rare and splendid jewels
who makes the whole world bright.
When I am sad, you make me smile.
When I am alone and blue,
you are there for me,
and you make me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate
the many things you do,
more than words can say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

Please send the candle of love to someone
who has touched your life, and keep the flame
of love burning bright.
