Hello Grandma. I don't know exactly what to say other than I love you very much. You are such a strong, energetic, lovable woman. I enjoy tell stories about you, from your "guess me whats" to "your blue eyes". I cherish every moment with you from the time you were healthy making me shake and bake chicken till the moments I sat at you bedside holding your hand. Watch over me granny and visit me in my dreams. LOVE YOU xoxoxo

Grama Raby I am sorry that you have left us, but I know you are rejoicing in heaven! I am never going to forget the Love and care you always showed to me..always asking about how I'm doing and giving me encouraging words.. you were like my grandmother. I remember how you knit me two baby blankets with love before I got married (that was so touching)they are still being cherished today! I will never forget the way you sang and clapped lol always made me smile! You were a true gem..genuine, selfless, and loving. Most importantly you loved God! Rest on in His Presence. My condolences to the bereaved Family!

Grandma Raby, Words cannot explain how much I love and miss you. You were such a strong woman that took chances and lived to tell me about them. I thank you for raising mom, aunt,uncles and cousins the best way you knew how. I feel a void in my life without you. I just sit and reminisce about your potato pudding, knitted blankets and the how you made me laugh. I am thankful for the connection we had while you were here on earth. I just pray that, that connection will continue and get stronger while you are in heaven. I will never say good bye...it's till meet again Grandma.

Grandma ! I miss and love you so much. I miss your silly faces and your jokes . I remember visiting you every summer as a child and when you moved in with me and the family in New York we grew even closer . You are so strong, you walked up stairs by yourself up until 88 years old , read without glasses , and I love how you felt it was important to challenge your mind and complete more than 3 word searches a day . You are such a hardworking and energetic woman of God and I love you for that . I told you the last time I saw you that " I want to be just like you ." You are extremely blessed! You touched so many lives generation after generation .I love you grandma. See you later baby ❤

As a little girl, It was always exciting when Aunt Eulia would come to Jamaica on vacation and stay with us. Her smile was always warming. She was jovial and peaceful. As I grew older and became an adult, I knew her as being "saved" and I remember one or two gatherings where we had moments together of talking about the goodness of the Lord. When I was younger, I had not known that she had come to know the Lord, so in hind-sight, I now know that's why she had such a glow in her countenance always. I truly believe that she was a soldier of the Lord. It is a hurting feeling to see loved ones become older and ill and then pass on. My times with her were not many but they were effective..... On behalf of my mother, Gloria Juleye-Telfer (her sister-in-law), I extend condolences to her children and the rest of the family. May the peace of God rest upon you during this time or mourning.

I am truly missing you right now grandma. I'm going through it right now. Your passing doesn't make the situation any better. I'm just feeling stuck. I love and miss you with all my heart. Just wishing I could turn back the hands of time....When things were much simpler. That's not possible oh course,but a girl can dream, right? Love you and missing you mucho! Until we meet again.

Aunty Eulia, I love you and always will I won't see you coming through our doors anymore, but I know you will always be watching over us and joining in. To me you was my second mum, always teaching, caring, sharing, laughing, chastising, teaching, you were everything and I admired you. Thank you for teaching me how to cook my first stew chicken dinner Caribbean style, it was wonderful; our trips down Cornelia St. was one of many, I loved it, we ate fruits we didn't even pay for, You taught me so much and showed me much, which will continue on to my daughter Shim, your Shim, Shim. We love you Aunty Eulia and know you have gone onto be with the Lord, He was waiting for you with open arms and even though it hurts, I know it's for the best. We HONOR YOUR LIFE and the LEGACY you leave behind. God Bless You, love always, Cherry Berry, Shimya & Janet.

To my friend Arlene & her entire family, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember meeting her at your 50th birthday and she stood out in the crowd. Such a beautiful lady with a graceful smile, and peaceful spirit. My love & prayers to you all.

Grandma Raby, I remember the hugs you use to give. My chest would hurt after, but I could feel the genuine love with every hug. God and family were important to you. All the people that you have touched are better because of your sacrifices and prayers. You are loved by all who are here today and those that were not able to attend. Now you can say: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day..." 2 Timothy 4:7,8 Great grand nephew- Clinton Fuller & wife, Tracey-Ann Hylton-fuller

Almost 16 years ago . . . "Thinking of moving to Florida? You should visit Port Charlotte, my mother-in-law lives there," said Undean and we met Ms. Raby for the first time when we stayed at her house on our visit and subsequent move to Florida. We now knew one person in Port Charlotte, "Ms. Radio," as our then 2 year old son called her. She treated us like family right from the start: took us around to find a place to live, bought us bowls when the moving truck was delayed (we still have them today), advised us on what school to enroll our children at and was our emergency contact, took us to pick oranges, brought us fruit and bread, visited us often, played with the kids and also became a friend to my parents. You name it, she knew something about it and happily shared her knowledge and life with us. She will be missed. She welcomed and accepted us like a part of her family as God has welcomed her into Heaven now because she believed in Jesus. It's always hard to lose a loved one but memories, the passage of time, and especially the knowledge that she's with God in Heaven, will help get us all through this time.

May "God's Grace" give you strength during this difficult time. Grandma Raby was a blessing to our immediate family as well as the church family at the Port Charlotte Outreach (UEMO). We will remember her many acts of kindness and show of love. Grandma Raby served our Sunday school children at the Outreach for many years. We want to thank her family for sharing her with us. We pray that your hearts and souls will find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3 KJV) Keep the Faith!!
