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 AND THANKS ELAINE XXXXX
You're A Real Angel
If an angel is someone who's so filled with love,
it's a gift that they constantly share,
If an angel is someone who looks out for others
and gives them a nudge here and there,
If an angel is someone who touches your life
with a heart that's both joyful and wise,
Then even though you don't have halo or wings,
you're an angel in human disguise.

♥ If I could have one wish ♥
♥ If i could wish upon a star ♥
♥ I would wish for you back here ♥
♥ I know you're happy where you are ♥
♥ But i miss you and want you near ♥
♥ Although i see you everyday ♥
♥ In my thoughts and in my dreams ♥
♥ I miss you more than words can say ♥
♥ It just gets worse, it seems ♥
♥ I try to be strong for others around ♥
♥ But all i want to do is cry ♥
♥ I just sit for hours by myself ♥
♥ And ask the question 'Why'? ♥
♥ It's the strongest pain I've ever felt ♥
♥ I don't think I could describe it ♥
♥ Although I try, I do my best ♥
♥ I don't think that I can hide it ♥
♥ My life will never be the same ♥
♥ That's why it's hard to bear ♥
♥ Because since the day you left us ♥
♥ I think that life's not fair ♥
♥ Some things seem not to matter now ♥
♥ Even things that mattered before ♥
♥ You have no idea what I would give up ♥
♥ To make this pain less sore ♥
♥ People say we'll meet again ♥
♥ And yeah I know that's true ♥
♥ But I wish it didn't have to be this way ♥
♥ Because you know how much I miss you ♥
♥ I love you with all my heart and soul ♥
♥ And there's one thing you need to know ♥
♥ There's not one person in the human race ♥
♥ That could ever take your place ♥
LOVE ALWAYS ELAINE AND MY ANGELS DEMI-LEIGH, MARY AND JIMMY XXXXXXXXXXXX
They count the hours,
They count the days.
How much they miss you,
They count the ways.
How to describe it,
There is no way.
They walk around,
In a permanent daze.
They miss you so much,
To the moon and the stars.
And this feeling will go on,
Until you're safe in thier arms.
WITH LOVE FROM TINA ALWAYS

Pass this on to all your close friends
I recieved this lovely poem today
I would like to share it with you
Its just a way of saying Im grateful
For everything you do
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.
Thankyou!
THANK YOU ANGELA XXXXXX
Xx Pass this on to all your close friends xX
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
Thank you for all your support
Love always Elaine
