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
WITH LOVE FROM TINA ALWAYS !
I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR
(unknown author)
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
For I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description
To hear as angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?
I 'll ask Him to light your spirit
As I tell Him of your love
So then pray one for another
As you lift your eyes above.
So please let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirit sing
For I'm spending Christmas in heaven
And I'm walking with the KING!

OUR LOVE ALWAYS ELAINE AND
MY ANGELS XXX
ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.
When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.
Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.
Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

Do Not Weep
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry
I am not there.
THINKING OF YOU
FAITH isnt anything you can feel or touch ,
You feel it in your heart.
It keeps you trying when others have given up .
It keeps you believing in the goodness of others
And helps you find it ......
FAITH is trusting in a power greater than yourself
And knowing this power will carry you through anything
And having the courage to stand up
For what you believe in .............
FAITH is peace in the midst of a storm
Determination in the midst of adversity .
And safely in the midst of trouble
For nothing can touch a soul proctected by FAITH.......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
YOUR TRULY AN ANGEL ON EARTH GOD BLESS YOU
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
YOU ARE BLESSED
You are blessed if your soul has Faith
and your Faith in God is strong
If ..... even when your heart is aching
It can still sing
An uplifting song .....
You are blessed ..........
If you find contentment in lifes simple ,priceless joys .
If you have a quiet spot to retreat from all the worlds noise ...................
If youre embraced with love by family ,friends and others
If you feel youre one with your world of sisters and brothers ......
If you can give a hug to those who need it most ..
If you can show the lonely that your heart is a welcoming host ........
If your hopes are high and you keep your dreams alive
If you dont think youll quit but persist and strive
YOU ARE BLESSED !
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

HELLO MY FRIEND JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR ANGEL IM SORRY FOR MISSED CANDLES ..... IM SENDING ALL MY LOVE HUGS KISSES TO YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE AND ALL YOU DO ..FROM TINA XXX

I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.
♥;;♥ ♥;;♥♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥
As the sun came up this morning
I watched you there below
Your hearts seemed oh, so heavy
But theres something you should know
I'm not gone don't worry
I'm just a step ahead
And i'm with you every single day
As you rise up from your bed
I am the sun that warms you
I am the moons soft glow
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights your path below
So when at times you miss me
Just look for me i'm there
For you cannot hide my spirit
It is with you everywhere...
Love Always Elaine xxxxxxx
