To all of the Gallagher family. I have very fond memories of Michael as a child, especially the time that he and his sister Susie went with me for a day trip as kids to Massachusetts. They were so excited to ride in my "new" car! May God bless you all with an umbrella of love from friend and family at this very difficult time and may the angels lead your brother to paradise.
