He has asked to be able to grieve in private. The last thing he will want is to go over and over it each time the phone rings.
that is so sad to read, puts your own problems into perspective

Respect.
It was a shock when I read it.
What more can I say about the fecker cancer? Nothing. I know Rio is strong enough to deal with it although it seems impossible right now.
RIP Rebecca, stay strong the Ferdinand family.

Didn't know she was sick. RIP Rebecca, thoughts with Rio and those poor children. Awful.
Sad news. RIP.
This is horrendous news. Losing you're wife in your 30s is a terrifying thought, but those kids losing their mother makes me even more sad. Especially how fast she has went from getting diagnosed and losing her life. This is just really upesetting news. You think of footballers as these megastars who live in their own worlds, because of all the money coming through each week. But its a reminder that they bleed like the rest of us. I wish him all the best.
Lovely touch from our club with the arm bands and the applause at 5 minutes there.

Class tribute from United fans today
Players wearing black armbands during today's fixture.
The crowd also had a standing ovation at 5 minutes into the game for 1 minute.
Respect.
RIP.

There are no words to express how awful this is. RIP and all our thoughts are with Rio and family.
That was beautiful, fans.
RIP, tough loss at a young age.
Sad news. 
Great from the fans. Made me a bit emotional. Terrible for Rio and his children. I have always been a massive fan of the player.
So sad! The fans were terrific today (WBA too) but he must be devastated. My thoughts are with him and his family.
The fans were great today.
Holy shit I totally missed that news. That's really sad for Rio and his kids. Hope they pull through this.
Great show of solidarity from the supporters today.
Was at OT today. The fans were brilliant. Once and red, always a red. RIP.
Very, very touching from our fans today, great thing to see.
Was indeed very ni e tribute from the fans today
Still kind of stunned about this. Just came out of nowhere
Wonder how long ago she was diagnosed

Went to my mate's wedding and that's when I heard the news. God bless our fans and good on the club as well with the armbands... Rio was hugely important to us and absolutely still loves the club. Feel really awful for the lad. Poor lady dying at 34 years old and leaving three kids behind - all under 10. She didn't deserve that. All the billions we pour into cancer research and we still can't find a cure.... just awful. Hope Rio stays strong.
It's an odd thing to feel shitty because someone you've never met died and the only link to you is that they were married to a person who used to play for 'your' club.
Not that my words will make any difference but it's an awful thing to go through and I wish Rio the best.

good from the fans at the ground today
I meant to say how moving the reaction was during the game. and I hope it have Rio some form of strength.
Rio is one of my favourite players of all time and i saw a few times his wife with their kids at the Trafford Centre......once i've shouted "Rio Rio Rio" in front of them and his eldest son shouted back "Daddy daddy daddy"
I feel really sad.....my thoughts are with Rio, their three kids and the whole Ferdinand & Ellison family
RIP Rebecca

Sad news.
Not sure why Terry's condolences deserve their own article as I'm noticing in most publications. The medias tendency to create some narrative out of a tragedy is bizarre.

I'm 34 with a couple of kids, I can't even begin to imagine a life without my wife and their mother, I'm welling up just thinking of it.
It's Incredibly sad, my heart goes out to family ferdinand
