I was saddened to hear of Evelyn's passing. I worked at JRSC for nearly eight years and she was there almost everyday and always said hello and asked me how I was doing. She was a sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
My condolences to the entire Raffa family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Tony, during our high school days we spent a lot of great times together, and for this I will always be thankful. Your Mom was a terrific person and always so welcoming to the gang. Wishing you all the best, and may her life be forever remembered. With warmest regards, Mark Constantine
To Tony & all the family, Paul and I are very sorry about Evelyn's passing. She was a lovely person and a "fixture" of the church and community. She was so pleasant while taking my printing orders at the store and did her job well. She will be remembered and missed by so many. God Bless, Linda Demler
We wish our best to Mary Jo and Tony during this time of loss.Although we only met Betty at community functions. We know how great a person she was. God grant peace to the family
I am very sorry for your tremendous loss. Your mother was always generous and welcoming to me in your home. She was a lovely woman and I am sure you have many wonderful memories to keep in your hearts. Thinking of your entire family.

Dear Tony and the rest of the Raffa family
Mary and I would like to share with you a poem that expresses our feelings and feelings of everyone who knew Evelyn. The poem was written by 19th century poet Anne Bronte, and is entitled Reminiscence.
Yes, thou are gone! And never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee,
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
‘Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o’er,
‘Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
Wanted to pass my sincere condolences to Tony and the family for the loss of Evelyn was so great to see and visit with her a bit the pass couple of family gatherings at Aunt Anna’s 100th and my Dad’s Funeral . May her love of family help through these days and always .
Tony and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Evi was a wonderful lady and always very sweet to everyone. Sending love and prayers to help heal your broken hearts.
Ray and MaryAnne Genco
