So many years have passed
But still you´re in or hearts
Your little hands and gorgeous eyes
Will never keep us apart

We miss you every day
But know you are our angel
To look over us and guide us
With the light from your God lit candle

Our precious grandson has returned to heaven and is now an angel of God. We believe he was too good for this earth and can do greater things from above.
For Eddie and Carlee he was a blessing.
For his brothers he was their favorite toy.
For all his grandparents he was the light of our lives.

To paraphrase the famous quote "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"...
We say.."It is better to have known and loved Finnegan for 9 months than to never have known and loved him at all".

Lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Mom Mom and Pop Pop
