Oh there are no words to express how sad I am to hear this news. The Gallien family was such a large part of my childhood in Princeton. We shared great times together, including many years in the horse world after they moved to E. Brookfield. Donna always made the gesture to invite my family to her family picnics so Sandy and I could visit. She was a lovely lady with an easy smile. I feel for her family as they adjust, it isn't easy. Our greatest sympathies to Nate, Sandy, Mike and the kids....may time bring you peace and memories bring you joy.
