Talk about an emotional roller coaster. As Glee wrapped its final episode, Lea Michele made sure to grab a sentimental souvenir before walking away from the set forever. The memento? Finn Hudson's jersey, worn by her late boyfriend Cory Montieth.

Writing "one last thing," the actress posted a picture of herself walking with the framed jersey. (Cue the tears.)

"I can't believe tomorrow is our last day at Glee," the star tweeted before the final day of filming. "It is going to be such an emotional day. But I'm so grateful though to have had…this incredibly amazing experience. Thank you so much to all of our amazing Gleeks who supported us so much! I love you guys. We were so lucky to have had the most amazing crew who worked so hard everyday to make the show amazing. I'm so grateful for them…"

"Thank you all again so much from the bottom of my heart," Michele tweeted to her fans following the episode wrap. "I will miss Rachel Berry so very much."
