Our deepest and most sincere condolensces to your entire family. It is the most difficult thing to accept when someone in your immediate family, so strong and important in your lives is gone. The family is broken but you need to find some joy and remember all the wonderful memories. We can relate of course. I wish you all peace and love. So very sorry.
Dear Bernadette and family
We are deeply sorry for the death of Stymie. He was a kind young boy and a wonderful man. My son (Tommy Russo) met him in grammar school in third grade. We always had lots of laughs and fun with Stymie. A person like John Rafferty will be so missed by all his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He was like a son to us. We will think about him always. Sincerely with love. Sharing memories with you all. Love Tina and Joe Russo.
My deepest condolences to the whole family.
