Mrs. Galbreath, I know you better than John and your loss is felt by everyone in Morrisville. You made your lives there and brought so much to the community. He will be missed. My Father Douglas Westcott sends his prayers and heart felt sorrow to you and the family. I will not be able to attend the services obligations in Oneida home are important. I will see you when I return to Morrisville next week. Again my heart and prayers go to you all. Pat Westcott Morse

Sincere Condolences to the Galbreath Family. Fond condolences to Norma, son Tim and to my Grandson, Alex Galbreath. RIP JOHN.
