Frances Ciriello

It hurts my heart to find this news. My husband and I spent the last year on Hudson Street, making daily memories with Fran. She made our time in Hoboken one-of-a-kind with her endless bits of sarcasm and candid talks about life. She taught me more in one year than most, from which butcher was worth our money to which spot in the yard works best for basil. I loved everything about Fran, she was an angel here on Earth <3

Anita, and family, so so sorry to hear about your mom. I have so many fond memories of her and your dad from our St Ann days. Kim Falla Romano.

Besides being a wonderful person to all, she took great care of my parents, her next-door neighbors, when they really needed help. I will never forget that. Everybody loved Fran and John.

Fran was such a very special "lady". I only got to know her when we both shared the same hospital room at Englewood Hospital in July of 2012. She truly touched my heart so, and I enjoyed all of her stories about her younger years as a teacher wth her husband. She was such a beautiful spirit, and "oh" those gorgeous eyes of hers. She was indeed a warm and kind person with great compassion for all she knew and cared about. My husband Tony and I visited with her just before she passed and...

Fran was a much larger person than her size would indicate. She filled a room with her gracious, intelligent and powerful presence. She truly cared about all the people around her and truly listened to them, and, was not afraid to give sage advice! She raised her own amazing family and many other children into fine adults as well. We will miss her very much. Carina Sayles and family, Stockton, NJ

Dear Anita, Pat, and Michael,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Aunt Fran was such a fun loving, beautiful woman. What wonderful memories I have of her and Uncle Johnny! All the family parties, football games in PA, and of course the fun times at White Sands! Her kindness and sense of humor was unmatched. We all loved her and Uncle Johnny so much!! The friendship and love our parents had for each other is so special and rare, you can see that in the photo( missing is Aunt...

Words cannot describe how sorry I am for the loss of your mom. Given my situation living across the street my whole life without a mother around every day, your mother watched out for me and filled the void more than anyone else. That I will never forget, and that I will be eternally greatful for. She loved children and she loved animals, that says a alot for a person's chacter! She never had a bad word to say about anyone and she will be sorely missed by many!

My condolences to Mrs. C's family. She was a fantastic teacher...May she Rest in Peace.

May the many fond memories you hold of Ms Frances continue to give you peace (Malachi 3:16)
