Allowing Galen Say Goodbye to Her Daddy

How sad that Dennis Hopper’s last day’s will be spent in conflict – over the basic right of a parent and child to access to each other.

Short loving visits for which Galen (age 6) is prepared would help Galen accept her father’s death and grow into the loving, successful young woman that both Dennis Hopper and Victoria Duffy would want for her. A wise father would be able to give his daughter a message of love and hope for her future. A wise judge needed to intercede.

When disputes cannot be resolved within the family, or with the help of skilled collaborative team of lawyers and mental health professionals, courts are available. This family is grateful that courts are available. It is nonetheless a tragedy for Galen and her father.
