I am so sorry for your loss. It is particularly hard when you lose a loved one who has been around for some 86 years. The Holy Bible tells us that “the span of our life is 70 years or 80 if one is especially strong.” (Psalm 90:10) I hope that the many memories that you made with Ms. Gallagher will bring you the comfort you need in order to endure this difficult time. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
