Husband, dad papa and friend,Charlie will be missed so much.His health had been a constant worry to
us all and we cant imagine how much pain he had been suffering.Dad suffered from heart problems for
many years and learnt last year that he was dying from heart failure.
The week after he died we received news that he had also been diagnosed with cancer.The news has
left us all shocked.
Even still his passing came as a great shock to us all.We cant believe we will no longer hear his
voice , for he was taken at 59 yrs old.He wasnt afraid of dying and his faith and humour helped him
a great deal.
He passed away whilst on a fishing trip , doing what he loved most.We thank god that he is no longer
in pain but we are dealing with our own pain of loosing him.

Eternal rest give to him, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine on him. May he rest in peace.Amen

Loving husband and best friend to Agnes.
A much loved father and friend to Caroline, Catherine and Suzanne.
Charles has six grandchildren who he loved and cherished dearly. He was extremely proud of all of
them and would have done anything for any of them. Family was always his first love, but as his
grandchildren Shaun, Liam, Fern, Jamie, Mark and Michael were always kept close to his heart.
Charles was also a much loved son, brother and uncle.
On the 15th Aug 2008 just short of a month before his own death Charles brother John Wilson Ferns
died. As his next of kin Charles organised his funeral with great dignity. We found out later that
when he was organising his brothers funeral he picked all his own arrangements. The sign we think of
a man with great peace, humanity but most of all with great faith and trust in God.
Goodnight Charlie xxxxxx

Charles
You were a wonderfull man with a heart of gold although you did not always like people to know that.
Your family always came first,and how they could get round you especially the kids.You and I had a great relationship we loved the same things, you liked nothing better than us going fishing for the weekend and loved when the kids would turn up to join us.Today would be your 60th,as a family we would have done something special,we still will and you"ll be with us as you always are.You were my rock always there for me in the words of the song(there is only room in my heart for one)that is you and always will be.Happy 60th Birthday Darling
LOVE AND MISS YOU FOR EVER

A DEAR DAD
A LOVING FACE
SOMEONE I HAVE LOST
AND I WILL NEVER REPLACE

MEMORIES I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE
AND THROUGH THE TOUGHEST PRESSURE
I WILL THINK OF THAT LOVING FACE
THAT I NEVER CAN REPLA

dad (happy velentines day)

Dad,
you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I had you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.

Dad, thank you from the bottom of my heart catherine xxxxxxxxx

ONCE IN EVERY LIFETIME

Once in every lifetime,someone comes along, The one special heart,
You have been waiting for your whole life long,

Once in every lifetime,God sends an angel from above,
To make your live complete,
Who you can give your endless love,

When a love like this comes make any sacrifice,
For the best things in life, Seldem come along twice,

There is no love that compares to yours and mine, A love from heaven that only comes
"Once in Every Lifetime"

Love for ever Agnes xxxxxxxxxx

For You My Love

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
ALTHOUGH WE ARE APART
YOUR MEMORY LIVES WITHIN ME
FOREVER IN MY HEART
I THOUGHT OF YOU WITH LOVE TODAY
BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW
I THOUGHT ABOUT YESTERDAY
AND THE DAYS BEFORE THAT TO
I THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE
I OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME
ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES OF THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE
AND YOUR PICTURE IN A FRAME
YOUR MEMORY IS MY KEEPSAKE WITH WHICH I"LL NEVER PART
GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPING
I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART

There's a million mouths to feed
and I've got everything I need I'm breathing
and there's a hurting thing inside
but I've got everything to hide I'm grieving
