Yo Bro,
I can't tell you what it meant for you to let me be with you when Mom came to take you HOME. The peaceful, quiet moments when you passed over were an exceptional experience I hope to never forget.
Being surrounded by 7 wounderful brothers, and a fun happy little sister has been such a lucky draw of life's deck. Loads of laughs and love were surrounding us last Friday Eve @ your wake.
Rest in Peace Little Bro.
Your smile will be missed.
Seeeza later alligator,
Your Big Sister

To the entire Gallagher families,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
Bill is free from suffering and he lives deep in your heart.
May God comfort each of you that shared in his life. No one can ever be forgotten who was loved.
Today he is at peace. My hope is that all of you will be at peace as time heals your heart.

I haven't been in touch with Billy since the early 80's when I worked with him at Rochester Screw and Bolt. He was so funny and full of life that I remember him as if it were yesterday. His name jumped off the page as I read the paper this morning. I am so sorry for your loss.
You will all be in my thoughts.
