Helen and family. So very sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved life partner and father. I remember him and your family so well and know that you will miss him greatly.

The only consolation is it is only temporary and he will be waiting for you at Heaven's Gate with that big smile I remember so well.

Know that you are in my prayers. God Bless. Janet Bowles

Dear Helen & Family: Our sympathy and prayers are being said for you. Dick was a good leader of the Boulevard Church and along with all of you played a great part in our lives there. We will always remember the wonderful fun and laughter in Bible School class and at the class parties. We know how much he will be missed but also that he is now enjoying his place with Jesus. Hugs and love to you all. Dick & Pat Walters (Melbourne FL)

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Whenever I think of the Galloway family, what stands out for me are the smiles and infectious laughs and giggles. Hard to think of him gone--he was always there when I was growing up at Boulevard; a man who lived his faith. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
