Personal message
Woodside Special Care Centre holds a very special place in Cecil's heart because they take such special care of Samantha, his oldest granddaughter, whom he adored. Cecil made regular donations to the Centre, attended their functions and was often there to pick Samantha up so that he could spend the day with her.
He was in awe of the work that the Centre does, the patience that they show and the difference they make in many people's lives - both for the parents of as well as the children who require special care.
It takes people with a special love and commitment to care for people with special needs and we also want to use this opportunity to thank the dedicated workers who take care of the residents day and night. Their hard work is appreciated and does not go unnoticed by the families and friends of the people they care for.
We know that it would mean so very much to Cecil If donations were made to Woodside Centre in lieu of flowers, in his memory.
