Brendan Gallagher comments on the announcement of his wonderful mother's passing
See an excerpt below.
"We now have a little girl who carries my mother's name, which is really special for me..
Yes, it has been very emotional, but I am just so proud of her, of the way she fought and the way she showed courage..
Everything she taught us.. Everything I am comes from her, so we had a really special relationship, and I will miss her, but she is with us every day, and there won't be a single day that I don't think of her."

He continued:
"It's been a heavy week. Obviously my mom has been fighting class 4 brain cancer for 3 and a half years.
It was in August (2021), shortly after we made the Finals, we got a diagnosis of her condition. The family was kinda fighting for many years there."
"She did an unbelievable job. They gave her 6-8 months to live.
The amount of time that we were able to spend with her and get with her, the treatment she got, the doctors she got.
I'm really proud of her fight. I'm really proud of everything she did for us. She was so strong, so courageous, you know really just the best mom.
In the last 3 years, there are so many memories that we're thankful for, grateful for.
Our whole lives, she really did so much for us. It's the hardest thing.. In the end you try to cherish the memories that you do have.."
