William Nicholas Finnegan V

Dear Finnegan family:
I was deeply saddened to hear about Nick's passing. He was such a lovely young man, with so many wonderful qualities. I saw his performance last November in A Midsummer Night's Dream. We visited after the show because I was there to see my nephew, Paul Barndt. I could tell what a special person he was...mature beyond his years. I pray for you and your family. I know he was a friend to so many, including my nephew, Paul, and will be missed. God be with you,
...

I am so sorry to hear about Nick. I met him after his play "A Midsummer Night's Dream", while visiting my nephew Paul B. Nick gave a sparkling performance and I'm sure you were very proud of him. He seemed so well liked by everyone and generous in spirit. My prayers are with you.

Dear Susan, We are now in Waco and learned from Houston friends about your son's death. He must have been a wonderful young man. I am so sorry for your incredible loss. May God who promises to collect all our tears comfort you and your family now and for the tough times ahead. Love, Julie Oates Koelsch

Dear Susan, Bill, and all of your family,

When the news traveled to Dallas about your son I was so saddened because I always wish to hear the good news about all my St. John's friends, not the sad. Susan, it seems like yesterday when we were all at St. John's having so much fun, and now we all have children. Nick has always been such a shining star and now that star shines in Heaven. I am praying that the comfort from your family and precious children will brighten each day....

Finnegans-
I am just heartbroken to hear about Nick--one of the funniest and most down-to-earth kids I've known. His life is a tribute to that amazing Finnegan spirit and I know his spirit will live on inside every person lucky enough to know Nick. Your family is in my heart and prayers. Please take care of yourselves and each other!
Much love,
Kathryn

Dear Susan, Bill, Terrell, Scotty and all McCartneys and Finnegans~

The entire city and beyond is deeply saddened by your immeasurable loss. The funeral service was a beautiful tribute to Nick as well as to your family. He had an incredibly rich heritage and drew so much from you as loving parents. I remember all of you at La Vista last November and those beautiful Finnegan smiles. Please know that there are many standing by to walk with you on this journey, one step at a time....

After only meeting Nick a few times, i found him to be one of the best people ive ever met. He was such a genuine person. His loss pains me, as i know it does for everyone else. But keep in mind he is in the Lord's arms, a great place to be. Finnegans, you will always be in my prayers.
Sincerly,
Katie Vogel

Dear Finnegans,
As a parent of Nick's classmate and friend (Brittany), I was shocked by your recent tragedy. You have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly this past week.

As time passes, I hope you will be comforted by the knowledge that your very special son was loved and admired by so many and that he will continue to impact their lives for many years to come.

God bless you all. I am so very sorry for your loss.
