James Digweed, 45, died on February 10 at his home in Bootle. At the time of his death, the dad-of-10 was believed to have died of a heart attack. ‌ Article continues below However, a post-mortem examination subsequently found he died of an upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage linked to a stomach ulcer. James was very close to his mum, Ann, and his sudden death has had a terrible impact on her. Speaking to the ECHO Ann said: "Every day I wake up is a nightmare. I miss him so much. Every day I used to get a phone call from him - morning, noon and night. "He was a loveable person, always laughing and very talkative. He just wanted to make people happy." ‌ A week before he died, James was involved in an accident. According to Ann, he was riding his bike and swerved to avoid hitting a child. He fell off, breaking his ribs in the process and ending up in hospital. On the day he died, Ann says she was on her way to his house to take him to a hospital appointment when she received a phone call from his girlfriend to say emergency services were outside his property. She rushed to the scene and spoke to a police officer to find out what had happened. "I asked her, where's my boy?" said Ann. "I was shouting for James. And she told me he'd died. They let me in and he was there in bed. It was horrendous. It was soul-destroying." ‌ When James died, Ann was still reeling from the death of her youngest son. John Paul, also known as Johnny, who died suddenly at the age of 35 in April last year. Ann, who has four surviving daughters and 37 grandchildren, also lost another child - her baby daughter Clair - in 1983. Clair died of cot death at the age of just 14 weeks. The trauma of losing a child in this way meant Ann was hyper vigilant with her other children.

The family's grief was compounded by the discovery that Clair had been caught up in the Alder Hey organ retention scandal. In the 1990s, it was made public that the organs of hundreds of babies and young children had been kept without consent over a period of decades. Ann says she was told over the phone that Clair's heart had been embalmed and was informed she could go and collect it. However, due to a dispute over the plot deeds, Clair's heart still hasn't been buried. ‌ She has framed photos of James, Johnny and Clair on her fireplace in Bootle, and wants to ensure they are laid to rest together. "You don't expect to bury your children," said Ann. "I don't like the thought of Clair being in this big grave on her own. I want to put my boys at rest with their baby sister. I want them all to be at peace together." James's funeral will take place at 1pm on April 25 at St Robert Bellarmine Church. He will be buried at Bootle Cemetery and balloons will be released at his graveside. Article continues below Johnny's ashes will be placed in the coffin, along with Clair's heart. The family are planning to sing You'll Never Walk Alone during the ceremony.
