Francis R. Cardullo

Frances had a heart as big as a house. She was loved by many and will be missed. May God comfort all of us who mourn, and especially her children.

To the Cardullo Family,
Sorry for your loss. Francis was a bright face to see at Dana Farber when I took my brother Ed in. They were friends from work. Francis would bring her phone in for Ed to fix while they were getting treatment together. She was so nice to everyone bringing in chocolates to make everyone smile. She fought a great fight and is now smiling from above. Jeannine Ricks Montgomery and Edward Ricks

So sorry to hear about her death. Wonderful shop - a fixture in Harvard Square, and by all accounts, she was a lovely person.

To the Cardullo family,

It was only this morning,while calling the store from North Carolina, that I spoke to Donez and learned that my friend Frances had left the bonds of this earth and gone to a place of eternal happiness.

A place where she can look down and be proud of her special children and a place where she can go out and do her photography without worring about bad weather.

Fairwell my dear friend Frances.

Your affairs are in good hands and all your...

Donez -
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Let the memories of your Dad get you through the difficult times.

I, like many of the entries, knew Francis from the store, having met her when she was Frank, (with a pony tail) in 1995. My father, who also owned our business at the time, introduced us back then. Cardullo's became my account and one of my favorite customers as I learned the retail chocolate business. Since that time I have enjoyed many meetings and conversations and more recently emails with this special person.
I wish all of the family strength and a quick passing of the deep sadness...

To the Cardullo Family:

I met Francis when we both were serving in the National Guards in the '60's. We have been friends since.

This is a sad day - to lose a person who gave so much. Frances put a smile on every face she met. Her desire to learn and explore never left... a lesson we all can learn from Frances.

From all her friends at the Studio Forum.

Frances will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her; I had known her since I was a young man, as did my late partner Peter Duggan who bought his sandwiches from Frances when he attended Longy in the 60's. This was a woman of honor and valor and humor.
