I am writing this for my mom and dad, Patrick and Millie Walsh. They want to express their deepest sympathy in the loss of such a wonderful person, Jim. They really wanted to attend the funeral but were unable to. God bless all of you and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Cissy and family,
Jim was a wonderful Uncle, especially to our family. His good cheer knew no limits and he gave it freely. His heart was as big as his smile, and his smile was huge. He gave of his time and kindness in many ways. We are better for knowing him.

Dear Gallerys:
Sometimes you know someone best indirectly through one of their namesakes ... and on that basis James was one fine human being. Our hearts go out to our Rome Center friend Jim and to all of the extended Gallery clan on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with James and with all of you.

I was saddened to hear of Jim's death. My heart is with Cissie and all of you at this time. I have no one's address so I am taking this way. I know how difficult times like these are but there are many of you to support Cissie and each other and enough love to go around.
