Mrs Graff was one of my Mom’s dearest friends from the times when we all lived on Wickfield Avenue in Warrensville Hts. We received the news today (11/2/2011) and our entire family is saddened by this. May god bless her and her entire family during this difficult time.
My sincerest condolences to my children, Paige, David, & Michael, in this time of loss of your Grandmother. Love & peace to you.
So sorry about the loss of your beloved Mom. She added much joy and excitement to our family with her stories and kindness. She was certainly one of a kind and will be missed by many.
We will miss you, Aunt Kate! Thank you for always filling our lives with love, humor, and many fond memories. You were truly an amazing woman!
