Today was the day that we went to the Mortuary to say our final goodbye's to Frank's Dad. It was good to see him again but sad that this was the last time we would see him on earth. We were there for about an hour and a half and it was really, really sad. We have all had a really hard day today, but I think it has been the hardest on Frank. The kids had a really hard time letting him go, it is heart breaking to see them so sad. What a wonderful reunion he must have had with his son, mother, father, brothers and sisters that have gone before him. Below is the obituary that I submitted to http://www.obituariesforangels.com/:
Anthony Frank Raia Sr.

Our beloved father and grandfather. He is survived by Sandy Harmsen (daughter), Frank Raia (son) and Tawna Edgmon, Kristen Raia, Megan Raia, Andre Raia, Brooke Raia and Shelby Raia his grandchildren. He also had two great grandchildren. You are loved and will be missed. Dad was a WWII veteran and will be buried in the VA Cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Arizona and lived there for 38 years. Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Tony, until we meet again!!
