A Tribute to My Dad, Ray ‘The Print’ Scanlon 27/7/55 – 13/10/22

Posted on 10 November 20229 September 2023Author racheltoywrites_adminPosted in Reflections

My lovely Dad sadly died in hospital this Autumn after a long period of illness. His funeral was on the 9th November 2022 at West Herts Crematorium and I was very pleased to write and read out my own personal tribute to him. Here it is below, for posterity

About Me

I’m Rachel — writer, memory keeper, and lifelong gatherer of stories.

This is my quiet corner of the internet, where I share personal essays, fragments from works in progress, and reflections on the textures of memory.
