I haven't lived in MA for some time, and I'm disappointed to only be learning about this now. But Mrs. Festa was undoubtedly the best grade school teacher I had growing up. I had her at Whelan and no one compared at Garfield either. She truly cared. I'll always remember the math competitions and the Frudruckers prizes. She was an X-Files fan and loved her Aruba trips and I admired her a great deal. She was very smart and she had a knack for bringing the best out of her students. Rest Easy Mrs. Festa.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ann's recent passing. As young children and as teenagers, she and I were the best of friends, and many fun times were spent in the Festa household. I have thought about Ann over the years and especially the mornings when her mom, Camille, would drive us to Revere High School because we would invariably miss the school bus! My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Ann's family and friends.
