If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring your husband back again.

Diane,
Though I've never met your husband, I remember some of the stories you shared with me at work of him. The joy he brought to your face and the unconditional love you two shared will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this rough time.

-Sue Bloch, Co-worker RMS

The light that burned in Galen's heart shown brightly to anyone that had the good fortune of being close. A man among men, emblematic of what it is to be be a Mason and Shriner.

"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more."

Farewell my Brother.
