Acting seemed to have been a real passion for her throughout her life. She left an indelible mark on the industry. To comfort her saddened family and friends, these trustworthy words: " Most truly I say to the, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of my Son ot God, and those who have paid attention will live. " John5:25. With sincere condolences.

I watched Ryan's Hope with much love. Every time I hear the song Danny Boy, she is the first person that comes to mind with great affection. Fly high, dear lady!

The first time I heard Helen Gallagher was on the original cast album of "No, N Nanette. " But then I heard her voice on the phone when I called to ask if I could join her singing class more thN 40 years ago. I never got over taking instruction from the dynamic, warm talented woman with a clarion voice. I studied with her about 3 years, the off and on for severL summers when I returned to NY.
You did not forget Helen. She was an unforgetable spirit with a generous heart.
