Memories and Condolences
for James Nichols
June 13, 2014
Helen,
My sincere condolences for your loss of my "Uncle Babe." Dear Jimmy helped my father, Bob Gallagher, through the darkest days of his life and saved our family in so may ways. I will always remember Uncle Babe's warm, loving and generous character. He is a role model to so many.
I thought today's funeral ceremony was beautiful. I am a Catholic and had never experienced the Greek Orthodox church, but was so impressed with the beauty, music and universal spirituality of the ceremony.
I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk. I think you recognized me. I was the only redhead in the crowd, and I do have that Gallagher face.
Please call on my dad in times of loneliness and need. He and all our family miss my mom Helen so much. Sometimes a kind word is all we need.
God bless you and your family. I will never forget Uncle Babe.
Love,
Patti Gallagher

Irene and I are sorry to hear about Jimmy's passing. He was a friend to our family for more than 60 years. Lynn, myself and my late sister Jamie have many happy memories of the times we spent with him. I know he's with Mary Carol, Nina and George having laughs about all the crazy stuff that happened at the Silhouette! He always had a smile for everyone.
