Madge, D, 10april 1996. 78yrs,
Mum spent most of her time at home looking after us 4 kids.Lived in nottingham all her life. Mum was adopted, after birth, dont know much about her birth mother, but she was probably beter off than if she had stayed with her.Grandma had a rough life, and died of hypothermia.She did have 2 sisters.But we know for sure that one died, but cant find out about the other.
Mums death was a shock, April 1st, addmitted to hospital, with unexplained bleeding. She was in the addmisions ward. I went to see her after a phone call from my sister Carole,saying she was ill and had gone to hospital. Mum seemed fine, she asked the nurse for a bed pan urgently, they bought her a comode and then left her on it. Next thing, mum was on the floor crying for someone to help her, she had fallen off.
I saw what was in the comode, i was worried. Later that day they put her into an isolation ward, where the nurses had to put on gowns and gloves on. We still didnt know at this point what was wrong. Mum was aware for the next day or so, then she went into an unconsious state,we never got to speak to her again after that. My sister Barbara and i were staying till late at night with mum. And a couple of nights we were in the chaple praying for mum to get better,even though we were told that she wouldnt. On the 6th april, was my birthday, mum never got to say happy birthday to me, for the first time in years. Mums birthday ws 9th April, we bought her cards, it was easter time too. On the evening of the 9th, Barbara and i decided to stay at the hospital all night, cos they told us that time was near. We slept in a chair,and woke to find the nurse looking at mum, we asked her "is she ok"? No, not long left, so we stood by mum,gave her a kiss, said "we love you mum", we turned to look out the window, we could hear Blackbirds singing,I turned and looked at mum, and told Barbara to look, Mums face changed to my dads!!!!! Dad had come to get her and take her pain. Seconds later,she had gone.!!!!! The Nurses that night were angels, so kind and thoughtfull and careing for us too.
Mum had died of E-Coli 0157. !!!!!!!! We had no idea,? it was so unnesasary, as with lots of other people in scotland,around the same time.
within 11weeks we had lost both our parents,Tom Newcombe & Madge Newcombe.
We wish now that we had done more for our parents, you think that mum,and dad are there forever, they're not.
So love your parents while you have them, cos when they are gone, thier is a BIG hole, that nothing will fill. I miss them, and think of them every day, and they went 11yrs ago, Love you, God Bless mum, Jeaniexxxxxx

missing you
Hello mum, just wanted to say we miss you so much. Today is mine and Petes 9th wedding aniversary !!! I feel your around us alot, and that you have been with me today,even at this moment!!!Im glad you are with me often. I still wish you could have been at our wedding . It was one of the Best days of my life,apart from haveing our kids. Im sorry i keep crying when i write to you,but i cant help it. I wish i could have done more for you,when we had grown up. It was dificult to get to you,as i was on my own then, and couldnt afford to catch 2 busses to get to yours, but i STILL wish i could have made more effort!! Cos now you are GONE, you and dad, and if there is just 1 thing i can say to anybody, it would be, Make the effort to see your parents as offton as you can,cos when they are gone, thats it, and i regret that I didnt see you enough!!!! It a horrible feeling, cos, we were left as orphans, my brother, and 2 sisters and me. Suddenly, we are no ones daughter, no ones, son, and again for my 2 sisters, they were no one's daughters.They had gone and left us. But mum, We love you soooo much, it hurts. But im scared, that i dont want my kids to have to feel the way all of us do. Stay around us, and carry on loveing us, till we meet again.xxxxxxxx Love you mumxxx
Hi mamma, miss you, often thinking of you. sorry i shouted at you the last time i saw you. Hated to hear you and mum argue. often think about all those Sunday mornings when we use to catch abus to come and see you and grandad.

Anyway, i'll say nite nite, god bless, love you.xxxxJeaniexxx
Hi mama......11 years, how time goes so quick. Didn't know you loads, as a child you dont remember much and as i grew into a teen i became a nightmare! i always remember you coming for christmas day....you'd sit in the chair with the a paper the size of you, or falling asleep, but if we tried to change the channel on the TV, we'd get shouted at 'ay i was watching that'!!! Me, my sister & brother didnt believe you could do that....not til we got older!!!! then there were the times we'd come to visit you. mum would always tell us 'dont take any money off your mama' . halfway through the visit, out came your purse to give us money for sweets, and we being good kids (at the time!!) we wouldnt accept.....you would then clench your fist & threaten to punch us if we didnt take it!! we knew you wouldnt, but we would forget everything that mum had said & take the money!! We use to pretend that mum wanted us to get slapped!!! you always did nice things like that, always sent us birthday cards with a postal order in for us.....wasnt a huge amount, but we knew it was to you and made us appreciate, its the thought that counts. i never realised the extent of your passing....maybe that was because i was being a horrible, selfish teenager, that was putting my mum through hell.....and for that i am sorry, to you & mum, but you know how much i have changed. sleep tight mama xxx
