David Lee Gallagher

My sincerest condolences to Aunt Pat, Kristen, Brett and all David's grandchildren. My memories of Uncle David were of a kind man who provided well for his family. He was full of funny anecdotes.

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. "May God our father, who loves us, comfort your heart." 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17.
