Not sure what to say?

So very sorry for your loss.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

What a beautiful words for your father. I loved the gentle humor. Sending condolences to the entire Raftery family especially Helen, Ellie and Annie. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was saddened to learn of Ed's passing. He was a good friend of my late husband, Bob Hart, and me while in Canton. He served his town with skill and humor, and I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family.

To all the Raftery children especially Mary,I had the wonderful experience of being a neighbor and friend. I will always remember your Dad, he was always kind to all.
