Sr. Frances was a blessing to have as a secretary at the school I taught. She had a great way to be both no-nonsense and loving with the kids at the same time. May her soul rest in peace!

Sister Frances Amata was a wonderful second grade teacher at Saint Bridget's School in East Falls. When I was in fourth grade, I would clean Sister Frances classroom after school. Sister Frances always had treats when I would finish cleaning her room. Many years later, I had the opportunity to see Sister Frances in Virginia. I was stationed at St. Joseph's Church in Herndon, Virginia. When I was transferred to Altoona, Pa I remember telling Sister Frances I am not accustom with living in the country especially at a high school named Bishop Guilfoyle. Sister Frances said, Dennis, you will bloom wherever you are planted. As usual, Sister was right, and I did enjoy the assignment! God Bless You Sister Frances and please pray for me.

We remember Sister with fondness from Immaculate Conception in Jenkintown. My brother Pat was nuts about her and she was crazy about him-made quite an impression on him in first grade in 1962!! She was a patient, great dedicated teacher as were all the SJ sisters. We are grateful to God for being blessed to have had these wonderful sisters in school--all good experiences. May sister rest in peace.
