We were so thankful to have celebrated Aunt Elizabeth's 100th birthday party last month at Bobby's. Her life was truly a gift. My thoughts go out to the Raffa family.

Hi Raffas -
I am so sorry for the loss of your gramma. She was such a sweet woman who always made me feel like part of the family. 100 years - truly amazing. Some of my fondest childhood memories were playing at her house. My love and prayers to your wonderful, warm, and loving family.

100 Years is a long time to be in a person's life. I feel sad for the people and family left behind, but know that we were lucky to have my grandmother/Nona in our lives for so so long. R.I.P. Gramma you had a great happy, healthy and active life. Sorry for our loss, Mom, Dad, John, Laura, Walter, Karen, Renee, Linda, Dana, Debbie, Jennifer, Kimberly and all the great-grandchildren we gave to her.
