Frances Cilente Obituary
The assistant for Joseph Shea and Jonathan Uman, two executives at eSpeed who died on Sept. 11, Frances Cilente was saving her money so she could go to nursing school at New York University or the College of Staten Island. "She had gone to a business school, but her heart was actually into medicine," said one of her best friends, Joseph Smith.
Friends said she wanted to be a nurse because she loved helping people. But they also said it was possible that she loved animals just as much as people — if not more. "She adored animals," Mr. Smith said, "all animals — dogs, cats, it didn't matter. We used to joke that she was named after St. Francis."
A week or two before the attack, Ms. Cilente, 26, who lived with her parents in Annadale, Staten Island, took her boyfriend, Danny McCurdy, to the Bronx Zoo. The couple stayed there for six hours. "We saw everything," Mr. McCurdy recalled. "The gorillas, the monkeys and the cats, of course."
Ms. Cilente confided in Mr. Smith that she wanted to start a family. She had brought the matter up with Mr. McCurdy, 27, a truck driver from Staten Island, only in passing. "We spoke about marriage here and there but we never sat down and talked about it," Mr. McCurdy said. "I would have married her. That's where this was going to lead up to."

Although we never met, I think of Frances every year. I saw her name in 2013 at a memorial in Cleveland, and have never forgot. I even located her name at the memorial in NYC. She is remembered and thought of, and I hope her family has found some peace over the years.

What a beautiful young lady who would have excelled in nursing! We sure could have used her now during this pandemic. It warms my heart to know that she had spent a lot of time with Danny in the weeks preceding this horrible act that cost us so many young, innocent lives. My prayers are lifted today for her family and many friends. I hope that we can all honor her legacy by being kind to animals AND our fellow human beings. Much love from Texas,

I first saw your name at a memorial in Cleveland OH. I took a picture of your name on the American flat at that memorial, and have kept it. Although I never met you, your name crosses my mind from time to time, and especially now with the anniversary of 9-11. You will continue to remain in my thoughts...
September 11, 2015
You are remembered. Though I never met you or any of your family, the grief and anger over the senseless acts 14 years ago remain fresh. May God bless your family and loved ones with peace. Your life mattered and I pray you rest in eternal peace.

Flag in Cleveland OH in memory of Frances
Jennifer Worley
September 11, 2013
On Monday 9/09/13, I was in Cleveland OH, returning home to Michigan from a trip to Buffalo NY. While in Cleveland, I took this picture of a flag with Frances Cilente's name on it. The flag was placed, among quite a few others, to honor the memory of those lost that fateful day.
I never met her, but wanted to express my sympathy to those that lost her, and to let you know that her name is being honored.

I pulled Frances' name from the prayer basket at church today. My girls and I saw her name read allowed at the memorial dedication upon arriving home. I was then prompted to read about her life on the internet. A beautiful light has been dimmed in the present, however after reading about her life I have a feeling that she will continuously light the way for all those she held dear. I am honored to adopt Frances and her loved ones into my prayer family. God Bless You All - Wilmington, NC

To the Cilente family: I had the honor of reading Frances' name this year, I feel your pain, as no parent should have to bury their child. I too lost a daughter on that day. I know that you must miss her as I do mine. Please know that she will always be remembered and I hope as time goes by that it gets easier for all of us. Know that you will be forever in my prayers.

Fran,
It's been over 6 years and everytime I pass by St. Peter's I think of you. We were never close but we shared so many silly laughs in class. Being the class clown allowed me an opportunity to joke around with all the girls even if e weren't the best of friends. I know you are in a better place. But, you were taken too soon. My heart goes out to your family and friends who I know think of you everyday.

As we grew apart after my move to Pa, My heart falls and I break down and cry every year I wait and hear and see your picture and hear your name. I worked at Ground Zero during the clean up nopt knowing how many friends and family i had lost their. I did it for closure for families like yours. Although we were friends for a short time through your cousin Chris. I still cherish those times we hung out with your mom and Jill. I miss you very much and pray for you often.

Thinking of you today and wishing we had more time together.
I'm so happy we met years ago at (Berkeley), two totally opposite girls, me from Jersey, you Staten Island, but yet we clicked from day one at registration. I wished we could have spent more time together, but we sure did run up our phone bills, didn't we. Me having a four year baby didn't really allow me to do much with you, plus school and work was just to time consuming, but when we did go out we always had a good time.
Remember it would be Trish & Jill, you & me all the time in school, we didn't get into to much trouble together but we had fun anyway.
Thanks for being a great friend, and you've taught me so much. I will forever miss you!
Love Your Friend

Hey Frannie
Ya know it's been almost 3 years since you were taken away from us and I just still can't get it through my head that you are gone. Everyday someone or something reminds me of you. I mean I guess it's a good thing because it could be a sign that you are here with me. When Theresa asked me to be in her wedding last year I cried. I felt so honored yet I knew it was going to be one of the hardest days of my life. Knowing that you weren't there and seeing the pictures of me, you and Theresa together. God I cried so hard. I must ask myself at least once a day why you. Why did you have to be there that day. Why did God have to take you. You still had so much to do here and I'm sorry if I am sounding selfish but I need you. You always led me down the right path. Always helped me out in making the right decisions. You were always there to talk to me and listen to me. God I miss you so much. I just wish I could bring you back for one last hug.
Some people might think you are in a better place but I still think your place is here and you should be here not there.
I love you Frannie and I miss you more every day.
Keep Smiling Beautiful.

"I've Learned...
When Somebody dies a cloud turns into an * AnGeL * and flies up to tell GoD to put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry.
People disappear but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you an see them dancing in a cloud.
They point the rainbows ad the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. they toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.
And when they sing wing songs they whisper to us,
" Don't miss me too much, the view is nice and I'm doing just fine."
