The family would like to say a big thank you to all that helped with Galen. Angel Hatfield wrote this poem for Galen. Fly high to the angel’s Pictures of you.
Always on our minds And we see you. And we smile While still alone. We have peace.
We had to let you go Fly high. To the angel’s We cry at night. We want to hold you tight.
That it hurts inside, When we look and you’re not there But we smile. While alone. We still have peace.
We had to let you go. Now you fly high with the angels. Memories of you Always remain on our minds.
We are going to miss you, But we can Smile. For we still have peace Searching for the answer, From way beneath We look up above. And you’re smiling down on us It gives us peace, That you are flying high with the angels.
Grandpa I will always love you with all my heart, I see you in both of my kids. Thank you for all you have done for all of us. Love Angel Hatfield.
