I can remember when my brother Charlie would wake up in the mornings and gather food for his hens and one rooster, which he kept in a pen not to far from our home.  He so loved those birds, by feeding and keeping them warm in the harsh weather we had back in Middleboro, Massachusetts. No matter how hard he would try to help and care for them, every time he would enter their cage everyone of those birds would start pecking and scratching him all over. Needless to say that  one day he packed all of them up and took them somewhere else. I never did find out what he might have done with them. But I do remember having fried chicken several times the next few weeks. I can remember asking Charlie, several years later, (What ever happen to your chickens)? All he would say, (Their in a warm and better place now and they won’t be picking on me or any one else).

This is a fragile time. A time to be gentle with yourself, and to give your heart permission, to grieve, to feel, to remember.

Today is full of memories
of a Brother laid to rest
and every single one of them
is filled with happiness

For you were someone special
always such a joy to know
and there was so much pain
when it was time to let you go

That's why this special message
is sent to heaven above
for the angels to take care of you
and give you all my love

My name is Nancy Theresa (Goodwin) Day and Charles Richard Goodwin is my (older) brother.  We are like Irish twins born in the same year.  He in January and I in December of 1942.

My condolences to my sister-in-law Margaret and my nieces Tracy and Vicki and nephews Chuck, David and Scott.

Charlie you will be missed and a void in our family.

I love you!!
