I was shocked to hear that Warren Cantrell had died. I put a query on this
list a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone was working on Frank Cantrell
who m. Jose(phine) McDowell, my great aunt, and got an email from Warren
telling me he was in the VA hospital and saying I should call him there. I
wrote the number down but put off calling him, thinking he would soon be out
of the hospital.
I was saddened to hear he had died. Several years ago, he helped me with my
husband's Cantrell family from Missouri.
Does anyone have privilege to what Warren had planned to tell me regarding
Frank Cantrell? This Frank Cantrell was from Lawrence Co., KY.
This is a real life lesson in not putting things off.
Thanks a bunch!

E-mail from Amy Cantrell
To all of you my fathers friends and family:
God bless you for all the kind words and condolences, sympathies and
prayers. It is with these words I have found peace in my fathers passing.
I do believe he is in heaven with his ancestors, and I know what a beautiful
homecoming it is.
I would like to share his obituary for those of you who do what he did,
which was clip items for genealogical records. His obituary can be found
online at
http://www.kdhnews.com/obits.html or I will try to reprint here.
We will see him again someday....and I bet he'll talk your ears off. :)
Amy
