GALLAGHER – In loving memory of a dear son and brother, Gunner Owen Gallagher, died May 28, 1942.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break but all in vain,
So while he rests in peaceful sleep
His memory we shall always keep.
We think of him in silence,
We often speak his name,
What would we give to clasp his hand
And hear his voice again.

But we do not forget.
In our garden of memories
He lives with us yet.
