I have known the Raffertys for as long as I can remember. Audrey was my soccer coach. My brothers went to school with James and Brian. Mrs. Rafferty was always so bubbly and welcoming. So sorry to the family on their loss. NHP will never be the same.
Rich & I have been blessed to have know Maureen and was part of our family. The very first time we meant was after Renee&Brian got engaged, she welcomed us as if we were old friends, from that moment on I knew she was a very special lady. Loved sitting with her at family gatherings at Renee&Brian house, we would just talk like two old friends all ways do. We will you miss you terribly my gentle lady. Rest in peace, your job is done, now it's time to rest. Love you always. Sue&Rich Sweeney
I am truly sorry for the passing of Mary. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. May the love of family and friends get you through this difficult time,
With much love,
Diane, Vinny, Nick & Peter Ambrosino
I'm so sorry for your loss. Her smile will forever be in my heart - such a lovely and gracious woman. Love the Pomeroys
To the Rafferty family, my deepest condolences. I saw first hand how loved Maureen was. And to all the grandchildren, I'm so sorry you lost your grandma. I know you will always remember her with love. And to Brian & Renee, Colin, Keira and Gavin, you are in my thoughts and prayers, tonight, tomorrow and always.
