Finlay's Garden

Cary Jane Ballas and Hunter George Ballas wrote "Finlay's Garden" together, in memory of a beloved son and brother who died one day short of five months of age. "Finlay's Garden" deals with the subject of death from the mind's eye of a five year old child who is trying to come to terms with loss. The Co-Authors' shared hope is that "Finlay's Garden", written to relate to people of all ages, can help children and adults who have lost loved ones find comfort as they read the story together. To this day, a heart-shaped garden with a blooming cherry tree commemorating Finlay's beautiful spirit has helped Finlay's parents and siblings feel Finlay's closeness and they know their guardian angel is never far away.
