Francine and Frank,
What can I say that hasn't already been said. Your mom was the greatest. As you know, she always had something to say, like it or not. It was just like he to tell you what she thought. Holidays were always the best. "I'll have a piece of everything" that was her line when it came time for dessert. And how about that crazy dog Grendle that you guys had. I can't believe your mother never killed her after she chewed up half of the outdoor siding.
She was an amazing woman and everyone that met her, loved her. She loved to travel and have fun and we can remember her for all the good times that we had growing up together.
As adults now, we know that a woman like her is hard to replace. We will keep her in our thoughts and memories forever and we will always smile when we think of her.
God Bless you and your families. We will always be here for you.
Love you all.

Cousine Debbie

Angel Rosie,

I love and miss you. I'm blessed to have known you... sorry I did not call more often! My feelings for you are as powerful as that of a ''grand-daughter's'' bond!

You made/make all of us so very proud. Now go enjoy Heaven and I'll see you again someday!!

Love,
Liz

All the kids growing up on George St. knew Mrs. Cantie. She knew how to make children smile and laugh. I'll never forget the first day of second grade at Alys Drive School, and I was crying. She put her arm around me and said, "Look, Francine is here too! You'll have so much fun this year!" and the anxiety melted away. We Siracuse girls have so many wonderful memories of Girl Scouts. Later as we kids grew up she insisted we call her Rosie. It was always special to come home to WNY for vacation, go to George St. and see her again. We are blessed and thankful she was a part of our lives!
~Hugs and Love from Nebraska ~

Dear Francine and Frank,
It was just a few days ago I was telling my daughter about my childhood memories of Halloween and how my Aunt Ro would dress up each year and trick or treat with the kids. I can still picture her in her peter pan costume:) I'll always remember her smiling and enjoying life.

My thoughts and prayers,
Gale Cantie Evans
