Marcia Fineman was a great principal and a wonderful person.
I will always remember everything she taught us as students. She taught us things for life, things I'm going to be taking with me for years to come.
Thank you.

I remember when I entered Kindergarten and on the speaker, for the first time ever I heard Dr. Fineman say "Be nice to one another". I will always remember Dr. Fineman.

I too am saddened by the loss of my classmate in high school so many years ago Those days seem like only yesterday. Although life takes us in many directions. time and distance do not lessen those bonds Bunni reached out and made a difference in the lives of many and in so dong, our world is a better place not only today but for generations.And that makes her a very special lady indeed. Her smile will be remembered as special. May the courage and strength she showed us help you through this difficult time.

One of my dearest Girls' High friends, Bunni was hard to describe to anyone who did not have the privilege of knowing her. She was always fun and funny, serious and brilliant, honest, courageous and someone everyone emulated.
My sympathies to all who knew her and grieve for a loss that will never be filled.

A classmate of Bunni's 50 years ago at Girls High, I remember her smile and her wonderful gift for having fun and yet such a depth about her. I missed seeing her at our 50th reunion and have kept her in my thoughts as I knew she was fighting what was her last battle. May all of your family know peace and comfort during the days ahead as your life goes on without her presence here on earth. Blessings to you all.

Dr. Fineman brought love into our hearts. Me and the rest of the Farmlanders cherished the time she came back from her 3 month break. Though it painded us all to hear her cough trying to say the morning anouncements on the PA. Dr.Fineman's death has hurt many of our hearts and will awalys be remberded by all of us.

When I moved to America in 2002 you had just become the principal of Farmland ES. We were both new but we still worked our way through. You were always happy and it really cheered me up. In the School Improvement Plan meetings you were always thinking about what the kids and what other people said. You were a nice, thoughtful, hard-working, and joyful principal. You always said "hi" and took time to talk to me. Thank you for always being a big support. I will miss you a lot.

My sympathies to all of Bunni's family....She was a bright light at Girls High in Phila. 50 years ago and honored us all with her presence at our 50th reunion in April of this year.
Little did we know that we would lose her so soon after that lovely day.
Please know that her face shines in front of us all.
