We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name;
Now all we have is memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we'll never part;
God has you in his keeping,
we have you in our heart.
We love you and miss you so much! 
John, Eileen, Jaclyn, Dean & Madelyn

I miss you so much Dad! I think about you everyday!  Love you!

To the entire Gallagher Family:
I am so honored to have known Grandpa Dan; his heartfelt smile, warm hugs and genuine attention through conversations will truly be missed. He raised an amazing family and through you, he will live on.  I wish I could have been there to say good-bye, I was out of town, please accept my apologies.
Grandpa Dan - job well done! 
You will be missed.  
XOXO

Thank you all signing this guest book. As hard as the coming days/weeks will be, I will find it a comfort reading the wonderful things said about my dad. To all those who paid their respects by attending the wake/funeral, sending a card or letting us know we are in your thoughts and prayers has been so very appreciated. I am so very proud to be the daughter of Dan Gallagher. 
Thank you all so very much.
ALWAYS SHINING DOWN ON US!!
I love you Dad and missing you so very much!!
Donna Gallagher Anderson (the baby)

Dan Gallagher Number 3

Danny, Eileen,Jimmy, Marty, Denise, Kenny, and Donna,

I was so sorry to hear about your dad.  It was so nice to go through your pictures seeing you all thru the years.  I wish I could have been there to give you all a hug and listen to your wonderful memories of Uncle Dan.  Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.  It is so sad and emotional to be orphaned at any age.  Love, Mary Beth

My condolences to family and friends. May comfort be found in reading Ps 68:19,20 during this time of sorrow.

My heart is aching for all of you. I did not know your father, but feel as if I did through knowing some of his children ( a GOOD looking man with a GREAT sense of humor;). I am deeply saddened for your loss and am sending the biggest hug your way. You are in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo

I was so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. One of my earliest remembrances was being scared of him because he was tall! I'm sorry that I am out of town and unable to make the service. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Nancy (Payne) Cash

I cannot tell you how very sorry I am to hear of the loss of your Father.  Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire 
Family at this difficult time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

I couldn't be more proud to be a niece of Daniel F. Gallagher. Seeing him always put a huge smile on my face. May his journey through the gates of heaven be a quick one and may he continue to help all of us from there!  Though we have yet another angel in the family watching over us, he will be very missed.  All of you remain in my prayers.

Dear Gallagher Cousins: My heart weeps at the news of your father's death. Another good Gallagher man called home. I hope the knowledge that he's surely with God provides some peace and comfort. With love, your cousin, Patti
