We will miss you more than can be said and while we mourn your loss, we will do our best to instead celebrate your life and have you live on through our actions. We are blessed to have had you as long as we did and although it doesn’t seem long enough you have taught us the invaluable lesson of how to truly live life and for that we will always be grateful. We love you G.

Condolence from Ammie Woolery on February 28th, 2014 9:13 am

I don’t know what to say, there are so many wonderful things about who you were….who you are I don’t think I could fit them all on here. I have nothing but fond memories throughout my entire life to remember spending with you. You have taught me so many things about life without even realizing you did. I will miss you dearly until we meet again, God has a great new angel in his hands to whom I know will continue to look over his family. I love you. Edie, Lisa, and Eric, you are in my heart and prayers. Love Ammie

Condolence from Jim Corbitt on February 28th, 2014 9:13 am

The last time I saw Galen I was about 15 and he was "on the road". We both stayed in a tent in the back yard at my Dads house("Uncle Earl")in Colorado. I still remember his easy smile.
I’m glad to see the same smile in almost every picture here. I’m also glad to see the wonderful family life he had in later years. Goodbye old friend….
