Dad you were a great father. Protector. Provider. Teacher. Made me feel loved and safe. I miss our 3 hour phone calls. Mostly me talking and you listening and gently offering advice. Unconditional love I always felt from you no matter the words of ego that sometimes hurt I now know love was and is always there. You promised to always love me no matter what and you did that. Thank you. It's because of you I understand words people say are not always about me. We cleared a lot of icky stuff together. See you again and thank you for all you did and didn't do that put you in best dad ever category to me!! are the crosswords really hard in heaven?? or really easy?? just curious. Rest easy in musical parties!!

My Best pal and very dear Friend Gallaher.. (smile). That's what i always call him, never by his frist name. He would say, Miguel..you are so diffrent from the rest and i appreciate your friend-ship and kindness very much. He would also say to me, you are the best friend i ever had. Gallaher was, and will always be one of the greatest person i had ever met. He was,funny, adventureous, cool, loving, a great Father, a good friend, and a strong believed in his country 100%. He will always be in our heart, mind, and soul of others. I will never forget his kindness and his up lifted spirit, he lived his life to the fullest and boy... did he love his Martini's with his stuffed green Olives..lol.. Gallaher, rest in peace.. and my God continue to bless your loving family. Jesus is awaiting your present at the Gates of Heaven. We love you always, may peace be with you.
