Finley Burke
Finley Grace Burke is our angel. From the moment she began growing in her mommy’s tummy, she began to put love and hope in every heart.
For nine months she was showered with love and learned comfort from her mother’s warmth, her father’s voice, her sister’s hugs and her brother’s kisses.
She made her arrival on April 19, 2021. From the moment she was born she radiated love.
Her eyes sparkle with curiosity and wonder. She loves being close to everyone, every moment of every day she seeks out someone to shine her light on. Her smile lights up the darkest room, and her laugh is a perfect song.
Finley was, is, and will always be the most beautiful angel, a blessing far beyond anything we could comprehend. What an amazing thing it is that something so perfect could come to be, and how lucky we are that she came to us.
Finley went to be with the Lord on July 25, 2021. We know her smile is still shining down on us as she celebrates in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for such belongs to the kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 19:14
