Dear Tendick Family, I lived around the corner from you when we lived in Ladera Heights. I became friends with Frank when we were in the same 2nd and 3rd grade classes at Frank D. Parent Elementary School. I was invited to play at your home
several times. Frank was such a nice boy. His sister, Lorraine, was so nice to me too. I always regarded Frank as my first crush. I thought of him today and decided to Google his name. I was saddened to see that he had passed away still so young. I wanted to send my belated but deepest condolences. (In the photo Frank, as you know is on the top right. I am on the bottom left.)

Dear Prof. Tendick - you have such a gentle soul with a passion for academic excellency. I am proud of being your student. You have guided me not only in science but also in life as the capability of learning is universal and ever-lasting.
May you rest in peace and free of pain.
