Remember me when I am gone away

Gone far into the silent land

When you can no more hold me by the hand

Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay

And if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve

If darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts I once had



Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.



~ Christina Rosetti

Utah has long been the benefactor of the Gallivan Family.



You are a strong, traditional Utah family, you are the best of the best.



I was greatly saddened to hear the news, this just cannot be fair.



But, I know how you love each other, I know you are wonderful, I know you are strong.



I just wanted you to know that I was very sad for the Gallivan family, today.



Respectively,
