Our daughter had Ms. Frandina as a Kindergarten teacher during her first year teaching at St. Margaret's. She was a wonderful and humble woman who will certainly be missed by everyone whose lives she touched. She helped to shape our daughter's education by giving her a great foundation to start with. We are eternally grateful to Ms. Frandina and will remember her fondly for the rest of our lives.

Joan Frandina

To our Frandina Angel, who now resides in Heaven, from your Aunt Joan.
When your life was bright and sunny and when your teardrops fell. There was one thing you were sure of, God was with you through it all. He didn't put you on this earth to walk life's path alone, He sent his son to guide you, the dearest friend you knew. When your life drew to a close he didn't let you go alone, He who safely guided you here, safely led you home. Rest in Peace Andrea

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family on this sad and shocking news. It is difficult right now to reflect on those years at the Mount without a heavy heart. While the days ahead will be long, take solace in the fact that our time here is but a moment in God's eternity. In the meantime Andrea is up there teaching those children who left us far too soon, doing what God intended for her to do.

Dear Frandina Family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Andrea was diamond in the rough and my son Owen absolutely adored her! He has started a new school this year and everyday he comes home and says "I miss St. Margaret's and I really miss Miss Frandina!" Andrea I told you time and time again how wonderful you are...heres to you my dear! May you rest in peace!
You have a special gift for learning
And with a heart that deeply cares,
You add a lot of love
To everything you share,
And even though
You mean a lot,
You'll never know how much,
For you helped
To change the world
Through every life you touched.
You sparked the creativity
In the students whom you taught,
And helped them strive for goals
That could not be bought,
You are such a special teacher
That no words can truly tell
You are valued so much
For the work you do so well.
We were blessed that you were Owens teacher! You will be missed!
With love,
Sean, Melissa, Michael and Owen Moriarty
