Dear Editor,
I would be grateful if you can print this in your paper, as I was so impressed with the NHS care my late wife received 4 months ago.
I wish to remember my late wife Deirdre.
She was 92 years old when she died last October.
We had been married for 65 years and I’m also 92.
Deirdre became ill last June and went to RUH Bath Hospital and was then transferred to a care home in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
In both facilities she received such excellent care medically, and with such empathy.
As well as bringing up two children and working full time, over the years she sang with Yorkshire Opera, was a soloist at Basingstoke Town Hall events, Park Prewitt Hospital, Hampshire, and many other concerts.
When she was 17 she was chosen to join Our Ladies Choral Society Choir in Dublin and toured Europe and had an audience with Pope Pious 12th in Rome when they sang at the Vatican.
Deirdre gave up her opportunity to become a professional opera singer to bring up our children.
She was also instrumental in a holocaust survivor, Leon Greenman, receiving an OBE for his life works against racism.
She died in late October last year and is now in heaven.
God bless her, the light of my life.
I am a bridge engineer but I’m unable to bridge the gap left by her death.
From her loving husband Tom.
With best wishes,
Tom Perrott.
