Charlie McGrillen
15th March 1988
aged 26
General Assistant
Belfast
4 brothers and 1 sister (married with one daughter Charlene)
Shot dead going to work on a very rainy tuesday morning.
My Brother Charlie was always a good laugh. My mum used to say he would bet on two flys walking up
a wall, He loved a wee bet on the horses. He was a very good hearted person he was always helping
elderly people and would let beggars into my mums garden to cut the grass and trim the rose-bush,
then he would make them tea and sandwiches and sit and talk to them.
My mum said he would face galiath himself but mention a ghost or anything spooky and he was away
like lightning. My brothers used to play pranks on him. They would rig up all sorts of stuff in
his room and make noises behind his bed and he would be lying there terrified while they all let on
they were asleep and they were killing themselves laughing under the bedclothes...!
Charlie Married Kate and they were not that long married when Kate became pregnant with Charlene.
Charlie was so proud of his little girl, He would walk her round to my mums house because he only
lived round the corner andshe was always dressed in lovely dresses and her hair as neat as a pin.
You could see the pride in his face when he had her with him.
He was late for work that morning of 15th March because he was teaching his little Charlene her
prayer's and forgot the time
He was shot dead by two men on a motorcycle just as he arrived for work.
I will never forget that morning because it came on the news and my mum jumped out of bed and got
dressed. She said to me "Angela a man has been shot at Dunne's Stores" and i said "ok so " and she
couldn't settle she knew it was her son even before she was told officially. My mum never got over
losing Charlie and now she has joined him up in heaven with my dad. So now he is back with his Mum
and Dad and we all miss him and love him very much.
God bless you Charlie till we meet again.
He never thought that when leaving home, he would never more return, that he in death so soon would
sleep and leave us here alone.
A sudden call from God on high, you had no chance to say goodbye, without farewell you fell asleep
but memories of you we'll always keep.
Those who loved you dearly are the one's who wont forget.
No farewells were spoken, we did not say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows
why.
But we will always remember our whole lives through the last words we had with you.
We never fail to pray for you, we never cease to care, we wish we could go home again and find you
waiting there.
To the Throne of Christ he will guide us and with us he will stand and that golden chain will be
linked again, locked by Christ's own Sacred hands.
Step bravely forward into the new year,
Shrug off grief’s grey mantle of fear,
Know that I shadow your every tread,
Helping you to face whatever lies ahead
Hovering at the periphery of your sight,
I am just out of view, a star in the dark night,
Feel my breath in the sigh of the breeze,
Learn that I am your mind’s true ease
Let sunlight brush the clouds from your vision,
Place my thoughts into your daily decisions,
Open the box of all our sweet memories,
Listen to others when they share my stories
As you forge a path through complex days,
Believe that I grow, in a safe, free place,
My life is no more on this earth plane,
Yet my soul lives on, to ease your pain.
His Mum and Dads Page is on here too under the name of Mary Bridget and Gerard Francis McGrillen

MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGELS
A Christmas Wish
How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.
Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.
At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay

Christmas in Heaven
by Unknown
'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.
The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.
I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.
And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.
I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine
Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.
Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.

A Christmas Present
It's Christmas and I'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing I could get
Would be just to feel your touch.
I know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And I know that I'm being selfish
To want you here with me.
Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me.

My Christmas Wish For You
My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.
