Paul Raffaelli Obituary

January 7, 1969 - November 24, 2008 It has been ten years since that heartbreaking day. I was so blessed the day you were born and so lucky and proud to be your mother. You left me with so many wonderful memories, your infectious smile, your giving heart, your hugs and your loyalty. You are so loved and so missed by every life that you touched. You brought so much joy and happiness to my life, you will forever be my hero. I love you , Mom

I knew Paul since he was about 3 or 4 years old. he lived across the street. He played with my daughter. He was the sweetest, most caring child, who grew up to be a wonderful young man.

My thoughts are with his parents and his brother and sister. It's so hard to believe it has been ten years....
