As one of the wannabe "girls" lucky enough to be brought into the Gallagher fold, I know how blessed I was to be welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. G.  Into their home, into their laughter and into their hearts.  Mrs. G was a surrogate mom to me -- my dearest friend Kate shared her selflessly.  I love you, Mrs. G.; give my love to Mr. G. with whom,I'm sure,you're sharing a dance.

Oh boy.... where do I begin... Well of course my sympathies to all of you.  Your mom was my second mom; your home was my home.  So many amazing memories - afternoons sipping iced tea, popping popcorn and watching soaps.  Trips to the library.  Summers @ "The Patch" to name just a few...RIP Mrs. G.  You were an amazing woman, wife, mother and grandmother xoxo
