Kevin...I am so impressed by you as a real man and as a friend.I am also impressed by the sincere generocity by all our OLF brothers.
Although I am not doing so well my self I am most willing
to assist you in holding up a cross for you or carry the water for you on your journey along your quest to health.
All you have to ask or let me know what you need, whether it be materials for another guitar or for cash to help out the family. Don't be shy or I'll have to throw myself on you. Just ask Brother and let me know. I'm sure I have enough materials to build another guitar for sure. A really nice one too.

God Bless and take care Kevin.WalterK39060.9613194444

Walter,
I believe Kevin said he was turning of the internet connection for a short
while so if he doesn't respond - that will be the reason.

I am continually impressed by the folks in this online community.

God bless friend,
Simon

A friend of mine once said:
"What we do in life, echoes in eternity."

I don't remember who... but he was right!

And Walter, I frequent several forums....some better than others, but its different here...no stories just real people, friends who care, and unlike regular forums or chat rooms (not my thing) here we strike some real friendships I believe will last for long.
Walter, thanks a million for reaching out...

Its unfortunate Kevin has to go through the pain of recovery but he is fortunate to have a bunch a people who care... both at home and here.
Not too long ago Kevin built a guitar and went to Africa on a mission to help children in an orphanage...
now he also needs a bit of help. who said "what goes around comes around"?

Kevin, as I have told you before.... we are here to help!

Go Bless you all,

Walter,
    I'm sorry that I didn't reply earlier, but I just spotted your post. Thanks
so much for your thoughtful and generous offer to help as I make my way
back to work. Everything is going well with physical therapy and I'm
making progress, but it will be a few months before I'm able to work at
all.

     My family and I have been drawing closer to one another through
these times and are learning alot about life and ourselves and our
relationships.

    I've been truly humbled and touched by the outpouring of kindness
shown here at the OLF. My wife has broken down and cried a few times as
we've read posts by some of you as you've offered to reach out to us.

    You're a good man Walter and you have a big heart. Thanks again for
your compassion.

All the best to you my friend,
Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars
