To Gary, Dennis and Family: I will miss Aunt Franny dearly. I know this is a difficult time for you but she is with the Lord and will probably be cooking for him. I still remember her working at Legion cutting wedding cakes and her special receipe for Salad.

Larry, Dennis, Gary and your families,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will forever cherish all the childhood memories I have of "Aunt" Frances while growing up on Norris Street. Your mom was a wonderful woman, mother, wife and excellent cook. She was truly a living Saint who will now spread her humor and love among all the angels in heaven.

God Bless,

Dear Larry Dennis and Gary,

I am so sorry to see that your mom died. She was a wonderful, funny lady. She always made me laugh. I still use some of her famous hand signs(the ones she used towards your dad!!) My heart goes out to you for your loss. Thanks you Mrs. C for the great memories.

To Larry, Dennis, Gary and your families. Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the passing of your mom. "Lively Fran" was a joy to be around with her great sense of humor. She would always have her door opened to anyone who came by. Fran catered our Buffalo wedding reception 26 years ago at the VFW post and we were very appreciative of her fine cooking. Her outgoing personality and humor will be missed by all.

Franny was not just a neighbor, but a friend and a caretaker to all the Ryndak children. She was and is an ANGEL. Heaven has another good one! We are blessed to have had the chance to know and love her. She's a legand and will always be in our hearts.
