Deck the Halls (November 27, 2015)
On Black Friday, mom and I avoided holiday shopping to bring the holidays to Canale Row. As Brent used to say, go big or go home. Therefore, we adopted everyone on Canale Row this holiday season. As always, please take moment to write a cherished memory of Brent on his guestbook.

Technically, no blood relation. However, the grave stone reads Teresa Canale. This was noticed at Grandma Tre’s funeral, so we’ve adopted her.
Technically, no blood relation. Uncle Mike “the tax man” and his parents.
Passing of Aunt Frances (June 7, 2014)
94 years old. Quite a story. The ‘story’ ended on June 7, 2014.
Frances Marie Bottino (Grandma Tre’s sister) passed away after a few months of suffering numerous small strokes. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at home.
Her life was full with family, and her death was without suffering. That is all, which her loved ones could have hoped for her.
She was a terrific wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, godmother and friend to so many of us friends and family. Her daughters are abiding by her wishes that her funeral arrangements be kept private. What they ask if that you think of a special moment that you shared with her – enjoy those personal memories – and send her your love and prayers.
Passing of Aunt Rosalie (April 15, 2014)
On April 15, 2014, Canale Row obtained a new member. Aunt Rosalie (Grandpa’s sister) was laid to rest with her brother Peter Canale in the adjoining plot to Brent.
Rosalie Mary Canale Sperow (04/01/1930 – 04/15/2014) passed away peacefully in her sleep after battling lung cancer. She is survived by her husband Euclid Sperow and step-daughters Sandra and Janice Sperow.
Blessing were held at the Italian Cemetery Colma on 4/19/14 at 11 am.
Rosie – much beloved, much remembered.
Donations to the American Cancer Society are appreciated.
