if he believed in angels. He used to joke about them a lot. When he became seriously ill he thanked people for their best wishes and healing but asked them to stop sending over angels because he was always having to clean up the feathers they left behind! White feathers, of course, are a calling card of the angels so I thought his joke was funny. He was a wonderful friend and helped me so much with my career. He was always supportive. It would be remiss of me not to mention him in this book.
As I write this, it is less than a week since Colin’s funeral. He passed away from lung cancer and even though we kept in touch and I knew how ill he was, it still came as a terrible shock when he passed away. Colin texted me just a few short days before he passed away. He gave permission for his message to be published after his death. Here is a small extract from his private communication:
… I am contacting a few people privately away from the Facebook public profiles. I guess these are my thank-you messages to the people who have touched my life and expressed friendship to me … The truth is, Jacky, I am not in the slightest frightened and if it is God’s will I am ready to go now. I just wanted you to be one of those special people who I wanted to thank for having been in my life …
I thought it was typical of Colin that in his final days he was thinking of others and reaching out one last time. I sent him a lengthy reply, telling him what a great friend he had been and promising that I wouldn’t let people forget him. I told him how well he had fulfilled his mission here on earth in helping to share the important message that physical death is not the end of life, just the end of life as we know it. Life continues on the other side, and Colin stood on the stage and TV all over the world to spread this message. The consciousness of the soul continues to exist. Colin was able to pick up messages from the deceased family members of his audience and share mind-blowing proof that there is so much more to life!
Ironically, his final message to me was, ‘… within the next few days, unless the angels take me sooner (which is fine), I will go on to the next stage of pain control and I may not be awake very much so wanted to get my personal message out …’ So maybe, in the end, he did believe in angels. I know that at the end of his life as he crossed from earth into the heavenly dimensions he would have been collected by angels. I gave him permission to come back and chat to me (he did; a simple private message). I know he will continue to reach out to his many family and friends as and when he can.
Here is a tribute to Colin that I posted on the internet. It was seen by over 85,000 people and hundreds of his fans posted tributes underneath.
RIP Colin Fry
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that my dear friend, TV medium Colin Fry, died last night.
I was lucky enough to have met Colin in his early years on TV and we kept in contact after that. I interviewed him for several magazines … he always shared way more than I felt I could print! He used to forget I was writing for a magazine and we’d chat away … Just like he would say in his stage shows, I would say to him, ‘I can’t say that!!’ He always made me laugh.
I remember when I went with my husband John to watch him on stage … he spotted me up on the balcony above the stage. He turned to the 2,000-strong audience and said, ‘That’s my friend Jacky up there!’ He invited us back the following night as his guests, but I forgot to turn my phone off properly in the break, and when my phone rang out in the second half you could hear it very clearly. I tried to scoop it under the seat, and when that didn’t work and I tried desperately to switch it off – it took ages. Every face in the audience turned to me and Colin made a joke about ‘someone’s spirit friend Nokia ringing from the other side’. I expect he had to use that line a lot, but I realised I’d gone from being his dear friend one night to the annoying woman with the phone the next!
He was born in 1962, the same year as me (I know you are working that out now!). His Wikipedia page says, ‘… Colin Fry hosted a number of television programmes dealing with the supernatural, including Most Haunted, Psychic Private Eyes and 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry, produced by Living TV …’
He entered the living rooms of thousands and thousands of people around the world. He taught a whole generation of people that death is not the end, and we are grateful for that.
I saw him for the final time just a few weeks ago. He came to a venue in Cornwall, close to my home. My friend (TV psychic) Barrie John was working on stage with Colin and we arranged my visit as a surprise. I’ll never forget the look on Colin’s face as I walked through the door. It was wonderful and we were able to have a final hug and chat for a few moments (see photo).
He texted me just a few days ago. It was his goodbye message to friends. I felt privileged to have been in that small group. Even then I was amazed that he was thinking of others in his final few days on earth. It gave me a wonderful opportunity to tell him in person how much he meant to me.
Goodbye, darling. I will miss you very much. You have left a big hole in the heart of the world and we will mourn your loss for a very long time. You touched the hearts of millions in a way that you will never know. Thank you for your service.
Much love,
Jacky Newcomb x
I’m sure this dear man who did so much to help others will have found his angels on the other side, and maybe in heaven he will no longer have to vacuum up the feathers they leave behind! He was a special man who was kind enough to endorse my first angel book. He was always very supportive of my work. When I met him that final time I promised I would mention him in my next book. Cheers, Colin. Thank you for being an earth angel to me and millions of people around the world.
Have you experienced angels in your life? Have you had moments of unexplainable phenomena? Many of us have. Angels can appear in very real dreams or through a series of ‘coincidences’. They bring signs and even touch us physically. Many have felt the urge to change their regular routine and found that their life was saved as a result of their action. Sometimes angels can bring an urgent voice that appears inside your head. That voice might lead you to safety or show you a better or safer path ahead. We’ll look at such stories here as well as examine some of the ways that angels have entered people’s lives. Do you believe in angels? If you don’t, you’ll find some true-life experiences in the pages that follow to open your mind just a little bit.
Remember, thousands of people all over the world believe in angels. They are part of many religions and cultures. Many more thousands of people have seen, touched or felt an angelic presence. Angels make themselves known to humankind in times of stress, grief or danger. They are a real phenomenon and I have written piles of books about true-life stories of the other side. God created his angels to assist us, care for us and watch over his children. Maybe you’ve experienced an angel, too.
Angels bring healing and other gifts
You may have heard numerous and dramatic stories of angels saving lives – or at least read about them in books or heard of them on television or in the national press. Every time I do a radio interview, the phone lines are buzzing with people of all ages who want to share their experiences, too. I’ve chatted on-air, late into the night, to tough truck drivers who are happy to talk about their angelic encounters. Angels aren’t the pink fluffy figurines we hang on our Christmas trees. Angels are majestic light beings whose power knows no bounds; their stories can be mind-blowing but at the same time encounters with them can be subtle and comforting. Sometimes we are left wondering, What was that? Or, What just happened there? They leave a mysterious question mark in the air.
But angels can bring us other gifts on occasion, too. I myself have received healing at the hands of angels (a little pain relief for toothache, for example). They can also bring us other gifts of the sort that don’t come wrapped in boxes with a bow on top. Are these angels of the winged variety? Or perhaps they work through our deceased loved ones as in this case below.
