Our deepest sympathy to all the family. We had a nice card and note from Kay at Christmas. Sorry we cannot make the funeral but Darlene just had shoulder replacement surgery a few days ago and I am her nurse for a few weeks. We would have loved to see all the family again. Again

My sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of Mrs. Catherine Ann Kay Finnegan. Her life and legacy will continue to live in through the lives of her loving children and grandchildren. Her loving and doting son Tim , his wife my dear friend Ann and two of her grandsons, Matthew and Jack were so fond of their beloved Grammie. I may never have tasted her famous banana bread but I have heard all about it and know that she was on the stands cheering on Jack for many of his baseball and football games. A life well lived and it is clear she lived life to the fullest. I will keep the family in my prayers during this difficult time and know that though she will be missed , memories of happier times shared will forever remain with them. May she forever Rest in Eternal peace.
