  1. Be at peace Grandma. You have labored long and hard in this life. You leave behind many memories to each who have known and loved you. Kiss Grandpa and Uncle Don for me. Xox

  2. To the Boffa family,

    I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. My hope in writing is to share some comforting information with you to help ease your grief during this difficult time.
    In the Bible, we read of numerous resurrections. Yes, Jesus Christ demonstrated that he has both the power and the desire to return the dead back to life. In the very near future, the Bible promises that we will see another resurrection, but on a much larger scale. John 5:28, 29 states that, “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” What a marvelous time this will be.

  3. To the Boffa’s:
    My prayers are to you all. I know your my/grandma is in Heaven with our Lord and her grace and love is shining down upon all of us. When my father passed, the priest said that when we are on earth we are as a caterpillar, when we die our bodies become a cocoon so that we may be reborn into a beautiful butterfly in Heaven with the beauty that God has given each of us! I see your Mom as a radiant and colorful butterfly ever seen. So each time you see a butterfly you can remember the beauty and love of your Mom!

  4. Jo jo and family. So sorry to hear of your moms passing. I remember what a sweet and loving woman she was. Also the fun times with my mom Fran and my aunt Adeline at the bunco table. Her knowledge of people was incredible. She just loved everyone. I know she will be missed. Love to the family. Memories will never leave. Joyce Zaino Spratt and family
