In memoriam: Charles (Charlie) Farr, died 15 Jan 2025, Florida 

 

We extend loving sympathy to Mary Farr, Holy Trinity Westport, and Florida USA, on the passing of her beloved husband, Charlie. 


May he rest in peace and rise in glory. 


Charlie died peacefully on 15 January 2025, in Florida, following an on-off struggle with leukemia. Mary thanks us, her friends and brothers and sisters in Christ here in Ireland, for our prayers and good wishes. We look forward to having Mary back with us very soon. 


Mary, with Charlie’s daughter, Carrie, plans to host a Celebration of Charlie’s Life, on Saturday 24 May, Charlie’s birthday, at their Knockranny home (F28W7W5).  


“And I heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Write this: Blessed are the dead who from now on die in the Lord.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘they will rest from their labours, for their deeds follow them.’ ” (Revelation 14:13)

While on this occasion it was lashing in Limerick, wet in Westport, and raining cats and dogs in Castlebar, the sun was splitting the clouds gloriously on the approach to beautiful Biggle. Also uplifting was to arrive at the church and on entering to find it looking, if not transfigured, transformed - for example, with its newly-stripped and repolished pews, clean floors, doors, harmonica and walls, and a close-to-spotless vestry into the bargain.
