Mom -
I love you and miss you so much. It has been a year now and it is not any easier then it was 365 days ago. There is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of you.

I will really miss how Auntie Cookie made me laugh all of the time, especially when she told her "Elmer" story. I have so many fond memories of spending the weekends with the Finnegan family when I was growing up and going to little league games and playing Keno and Garbage. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. I hope you can all find comfort knowing she is in a better place.
