Not sure what to say?

Don't know if its too late to leave a message. I came across Andrea's Birthday on Facebook and one of the next messages, a fellow ITMI friend wished Andrea Happy Birthday in Heaven. I am shocked. When I was leaving a message on Andrea's FB page, I was just thinking I hadn't seen her awhile on FB and then saw the message. I was in the same class as Andrea back in 2017, and she was known as Frau. She was so interesting and we would often go get lunch together. From the obituary, you know she...

Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words you left for my mom. Life is incredibly empty without her. She was not only my mom, but also a loving force for so many other kids. I am so truly blessed to have been your daughter. There is not a day that goes by where I don´t want to pick up the phone and call you. I know that you are watching over us all, and we all have a guardian angel named frau, and for some of us mom. My mom never forgot about all of her students and always held onto the...

Sweet Andrea, my roommate during our training as tour directors in California with ATI. You were such a wonderful, warm, sweet, smart and super funny woman who became my friend during this time and we had our own inside jokes. Makes me very sad to hear of your passing. Your memory will be a blessing always. May you fly free , Andrea. I will never forget you. My deepest condolences to your family. Pien

We all loved Andrea. She was courageous, strong, a fighter, and funny beyond funny. She kept us all amused and NEVER complained. She will be missed by our metastatic cancer group but NEVER forgotten. Karen

Rest in peace Frau Marek. It´s so hard to believe you are not with us anymore. I will never forget what an amazing teacher you were. You were the type of person that left lasting memories for many. Always going above and beyond with everything you taught and it was with passion, dedication, and an abundance of energy. You never gave up on things. For me, you were an inspiration. I remember taking the German language class at Hogan High School in 10th grade. You were the new teacher, but...

Frau who is one of the most genuine and loving teachers you could ever ask for. She made learning German fun! I recall her having this special love for Johnny Depp`s, or or she just used him as a way to teach us words surrounding love, family and friendships. One of my favorite parts was when we were learning the words chair and table, and she would have us stand on the chair & table. She had a very fun & unconventional way of teaching, but it worked. I am in my 30s and I still speak German...

My favorite teacher by far. One of the kindest, most genuine souls I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. An absolute honor to have learned from Frau. Some of my strongest friendships were formed in her class. Rest Easy, Königin.

Frau was one of my favorite teachers from high school. Always full of energy and made class a fun time. She provided an open door to her classroom if I needed someplace warm before school started or just needed a place to relax. I'll never forget the wonderful memories and lessons you've taught us. Rest in peace <3

My absolute favorite person in my entire high school career. She was not only a teacher but a friend. She helped me through so many things and I couldn't ever have asked for a better person in my life. She will be so sadly missed and I send all my prayers and love for the family. I'm so blessed to have had her in my life as were so many other people. She was one of the most amazing women I've ever met and I will love her endlessly always. I love you my Frau
