A Lasting Tribute: The Shepherd Family’s Gift to Abercorn House

A Lasting Tribute: The Shepherd Family’s Gift to Abercorn House

Abercorn House Care Home was deeply touched by the generosity of the Shepherd family, who kindly donated a beautiful bench in memory of their beloved father and husband, Jim Shepherd.

Engraved with a special marker, this bench stands as a lasting tribute to Jim and his time at Abercorn House. It will provide a peaceful spot for reflection and remembrance for residents, families, and staff alike.

Jim was dearly loved by both his family and the care home team, and his gentle presence is fondly remembered by all who knew him. One of the most cherished moments during Jim’s time at Abercorn House was when he and his wife, Joan, celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal organised by the home.

This thoughtful gift will offer a peaceful place for reflection and remembrance for residents, families, and staff.[vc_single_image image=”38114″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”38113″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”]
