Mrs. Gallagher, Robert and Audrey and Patrick, Niamh, and Danann; Noeleen; Eddie and Lee and Alex, Valerie and Eddie….
No words can be said that will make your loss less.
What i can say is that over the years I know how much he loved his 3 children, and his grandchildren. Your Dad and Granddad was very proud of you…..any person could see that in his eyes when he looked at you or spoke of any of you.
Mrs. Gallagher……What I know most is his pride of his family and his hard work of building a business. He could not have achieved that without his wife, best friend and partner in all things that may have been good or not so good. Seeing the 2 of you this summer at the wedding, just sharing in the family you grew from 3 little ones, to weddings and grandchildren showed a lifetime that can never be duplicated.
My sons, Draden and Cole, were blessed to have had Mr. Gallagher driving them to and from school for many years. They were just little, and as a Mom it was difficult to just send them off with a “stranger”. I soon learned that the “stranger” treated my boys so kindly. It is permanently etched in my mind him getting out of his van, pulling out a little step so that they could get up into his van. My boys always were so happy when he brought them home, always said how nice he was, and asked often “is he gonna bring us again tomorrow”?
I cannot express how sad I feel in my heart, that you have all experienced this. But what I do know, is that you will all continue being the ones he loved the most.
Draden, Cole, Jade Allen says
Mrs.Gallagher and family, accept my dearest sympathies for your loss. I remember fondly the times when I was young and he would pick me up from school. he was a good and generous man to me, and he will be sorely missed.
-Draden
My condolences go out to Mrs. Gallagher and her family for their loss. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering that the Family must be feeling at this time. I remember being young, and he would pick Draden and I up from school. I remember him as being a very thoughtful, and selfless man, who cared very much for the well-being of others. This is how I hope he will be remembered for many years to come.
-Cole
