Tom & Madge Newcombe,
Dad died in Jan 1996,Mum died April 1996
76yrs dad, mum 78yrs
Dad was ill for some years, with chest problems. He worked down the pit for years, had driving jobs and was a coal man for many years too. He also worked in a pub,where he was head barman,what better job to have if you like your beer??! Maybe all these jobs led him to have a bad chest??.Dad had been brought up a country boy, then lived in the city when he married mum. Dad had 6 brothers and 2 sisters.
When dad got really bad, he had to go into hospital, I was going to see him before i went to work, what i didnt know was that they had called me, to say he was getting worse, and that my brother and sisters were on there way too. The curtain was pulled around dads bed, i just sat with him holding his hand saying how much i loved him,a nurse came in,and waited with me, then, he was gone, i just heard the footsteps of the otheres comeing, and as they poped there head through the curtain, i sad,"You missed him, hes gone" that was my first experience of death,but i wasnt scared,hope dad wasnt?. Im glad i was with him though,at the end.
He died of, cronic bronchitus and emphersiemia. when we were at dads grave side, mum said," I always loved him you know, there was never anybody else for me " God Bless dad, xxxxx Jeaniexxxx
Still mising you
Hiya Dad, So sorry i havnt been on here for a long time. But i never forget you,and mum.You are always in my thoughts.
Just told Mum, to look out for Cracker,Paulas dog, He had to be put down yesterday,29th April,2009.He is a good dog, and likes lots of fussing,He will be a friend for Butch. He was 13 yrs old, so he had a good inings,as they say. Watch over Paula for me, as she is so unhappy about the decision they had to make,to let him go.Let her know you are with her,please.
Have to go now,

Hi Jeanie you have chosen the same song for your dad as i did on my dads site. Love to you .♥ ♥(What a wonderful world.)
Missing you still!!
Hi dad, just been telling mum about our wedding in 1998, i was just saying that the only 3 people missing were you, mum, and Pete's mum. But we know you were there in spirit.And i bet Aunty Peggy told you all about it anyway. She enjoyed it. It wasnt long after that,when Aunty Peggy came to join you and mum. Hope she is happy, has she found Uncle George?? And then Aunty Syble came to you last year.
Ive got to go now cos its late, Love youxxx Jeaniexxx
Love and miss you
Hello dad, Just been reading the messages that other people have left you,so many people who care and understand how we feel.
I want to thank all those people, Thankyou every body, and God bless you for lighting a candle.
What have you been doing today,? are you looking after Brennan, give him a cuddle from us.
Its been a nice sunny day today,and Jordan our grandson washed the car for us, he got paid for it and gave him somthing to do..
It was nice that Kirsty put a tribute for you. TShe is a kind and thoughtfull daughter. And YES she was abit Teenagey,but kids are like that arnt they..
Hope you like the music i choose. I cant think what music to put on mums,maybe you could tell me,when you come to me in my dreams.
God Bless, love and miss you both,soooo much.
