I know working for him and around him has made me a better policeman. I would also like to think that it has made me a better man for...

Our Prayers go out to the Gallagher
Family,We all will miss you.

To the Gallagher Family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I met Jimmie only in spirit that night at the park as I passed and stopped to pray for him. I have heard from my dad who knew him well how very special he was and I am so glad God drew me to him that night to stay and pray with him. My prayers are with you all now in your time of loss. I feel certain that he is in heaven, for he was an angel here on earth. May God's grace comfort you in your time of grief.
