Hello Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was such a wonderful piano player! I will never forget the beautiful music coming from the corner of the studio while we were working to keep up…she was so supportive throughout my year training years with Mme. Darvash- I was young and needed that support. I will always remember her. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Kate (Katie)

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of Marie. She played for many of my classes at New Jersey Ballet and I thoroughly loved every minute of having her at the piano when I taught as well as when I was in company class! I always stood near the piano and we always had lovely conversations before and after class. I will always remember her support when I found out my husband had Parkinson's Disease, she offered advice and a hug! May she rest in the arms of The Lord .

On behalf of my sister, and brothers, children of Ann and Alexander DeRise, I would like to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of our dear cousin, Marie.
Marie would offten visit our home in Flatbush when she was a teen-age girl. She always had a smile for us and always cared about our well being. She seemed to have a special place in her heart for our mother, her "Aunt Anna." Later on in life she would invite us to watch her and Nancy perform. On more than one occasion we had the good fortune to do so.
She will be missed. May she rest in peace.

To the family of Marie Raffa,
Marie and my mom, Joan, were best friends. I got to know Marie when I was quite young. I will never forget following her around in the kitchen while she was cooking. I watched every thing she done, her cooking was amazing. To this day I still remember and use those recipes I was lucky enough to have Marie share with me. I am so sorry for your loss.

Nancy and family, so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time. I remember visiting your grandmother for Christmas as a kid with my family, back when your mom and you kids lived upstairs. I was just beginning to learn piano then myself, and I remember during one visit, Marie taught me how to play a new piece, which was very challenging for me. I practiced and practiced but couldn’t “get it”. I fell asleep frustrated, and the next morning when I awoke, the first thing I wanted to do was go upstairs and try that piece again. Wouldn’t you know, after a good night’s rest, the info had “gelled” and I was able to play it, thanks in no small part to your mother's coaching.
Thank you for putting together such a beautiful tribute. The music is truly lovely.

Dear Johnny, Nancy, George and Alphonse,
How very sad I was to hear that your mom passed away. I have very fond memories of Marie. When I was a young bride she was an important resource and guide for me, always helpful and supportive. We grew apart over the years, although I can't now remember why. You have my condolences and wishes for acceptance and peace.
Fondly,
Mavra
