Becky

      I'm sure most of you have heard by now, but on Friday, my family suffered an unspeakable tragedy. My 10 year old niece, Rebecca Eller died suddenly. I'm someone who tries to write how I'm feeling for pretty much everything that happens in life, and at this time the words aren't there.

This is just a note to say thank you to all who have called, texted or written and my promise that I will, as soon as I possibly can, return all of those messages personally.

I also want to let you all know that my sister Katie has started a page to collect money in lieu of flowers, to purchase books for the library at Becky's school Our Lady of Hope. Becky was a passionate reader and we believe that by updating the school library with new books, we will keep her memory alive.  I realize that money can be tight and everybody's situation is unique. But please take a look at it and consider making a donation, or forwarding the link to spread the word and let people know that something good is coming from this horrible loss.

And not to sound like some Jerry Lewis Telethon shill, but as of this writing, the page has collected almost $8,000. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you.

I'll be writing more in the coming days. For now, please pray for my sister Krissy, my brother in law Steve, my niece Rachel, Katie, my parents, Tara, Timmy and I and the rest of the Gallagher and Eller families.


Love to you all

Bill
