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

dad, charlie, papa ,

Sitting here myself
i wonder day by day
what its all about
and will the pain ever
go away

Memories come flooding back
they make me cry they make me smile
but more than that dad
they make me realise you
were my friend for more than a while.

If in heaven you are ever sad
please remember dad of the
laughs we had.

God knows we cried alot but
we were always together.
Please god help me always to remember.

Watch over us now as you have always done
love you and miss you every day

FOR CHARLES

I have always believed in Angels Though i have never seen one its true
at least untill the day
God decided to send me you

I never would have guessed it
That i could be so blessed
To have an Angel sent to me
Ahead of all the rest

I did not know that Angels had
Such kind and sparkling eyes
Or tucked their wings up under their sleeves
To do their best to hide

I know that you are an Angel
Though i have never seen you fly
I know that you were heaven sent
From the blue and faraway sky

I did not know that Angels had
Such a heart of gold
Or a touch to warm my body
When the world felt so cold

I did not know an Angels glance
Could touch my very soul
Or that an Angels tender kiss
Could make me feel so whole

Yes i know that you are an Angel
And that i have been so blessed
That God chose you to send to me
Ahead of all the rest

My Special Dad

If you are looking down Dad,
listen to me please
just to know you might be
brings a little ease.

Everytime I come here
To spend some time with you,
I promise that I wont get upset,
But everytime I do.

I know that you wont like,
To see me sit and cry,
I want you to be proud of me
however hard I try

I think about the old days
And the goodtimes that we shared
And knowing theres no more of them,
Always makes me sad

love Caroline xx
