Thank you, Lord, for Your gift of Raphael, our family's little intercessor in Heaven.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. We were reading Raphael's story and its amazing to hear how wonderful his short life was despite having many ailments he was truly a ray of sunshine. An angel that God had asked for to be with him. R.I.P From Abeysinghe family.

Raphael - a smile I will never forget, sleep tight x

I united myself with you on the funeral day - I was at 12.30 Mass at St. Peters and was praying for Raphael and you and your family. May God bless you always.

He taught me so much about the wonder of God's love how high how deep and how wide it is! A true inspiring little fighter who was much loved by all who cared for him. love and God Bless, jemima

I got a great sense of Gods love and presence when I attended Raphaels funeral Mass and burial. The eulogy prepared by his mother was inspiring. I was very touched by the love and care he received from his parents and extended family. Raphael is often in my thoughts especially when I pray outside an abortion clinic and I ask him to intercede for the unborn. One day Mother Church will declare him the patron baby Saint of the unborn.Yes his life on this earth was short,now he is with God and he will do things from heaven. Michael Martin

Dearest Raphael, I will really miss you. The short time you were with us you taught us all so much. So glad I got to know you, lots of love.

Raphael, will always be remembered for his short visit and the love which he filled those around him . May Raphael live in the arms of his Heavenly Father and play with the angels. Richard Jennifer and family.

The tree still bends over the lake, And I try to recall our love, Our love which had a thousand leaves Poem by Sheila Wingfield

Raphael you smiled and laughed and made us do the same. What a wonderful little man, rest in peace. Frances and family X

Raphael you have touched my life in a very special way the same way you have touched many others. It was good that I could have spend some time with you, hold you in my arms and have a photograph taken with you. Pray for me. By Vicky Moriah.

I attended the funeral and send prayers to all the family. Anne Riley

I am sorry not to have met Raphael in this life, but i pray that i will one day, in that kingdom where every tear had been wiped away and all things are made new. We are far away in Canada, but Raphael has already touched our lives deeply. I am certain that he is praying for us all. I am grateful to God for the life of this little one. It reminds me very much of the words of Jesus "unless you change utterly and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." May Raphael continue to teach me to convert until God call's me home. I'm very grateful for this child and all God has done through him.

We will always remember those wonderful cuddles - so proud to be part of your life. We will miss you but look forward to seeing you again in Heaven.

We loved Raphael we also were very pleased with the attendance of the funeral showing how much people cared. The football match scores were 23-22 to my team(Daniel, Jonothan, Louis, Tommaso and Dave).
