In Loving Memory of Fendi

On November 1, 2012, the world was blessed with the beautiful life of our beloved daughter, Fendi. From the moment she arrived, she filled our hearts with joy and purpose. Her name, lovingly chosen by a dear cousin, was inspired by both her father, Frederick, and the bright, spirited personality we knew she would carry-elegant, bold, and unforgettable.

Fendi grew up surrounded by family love, laughter, prayer, and tradition. Sunday dinners were her favorite, filled with jokes, stories, and faith that kept God first in all things. She especially cherished meals at Japanese hibachi restaurants, where memories of love and togetherness were always made.

A student of Millenia Garden Elementary in Orange County, Fendi excelled as an Honor Student. She loved school deeply, finding joy in her classmates and the guidance of her beloved teachers, Ms. Loftin and Mrs. Hooks. Even when faced with the challenges of a rare childhood cancer, Fendi's determination to learn never wavered. Through Hospital Homebound, she was blessed with the care and support of dedicated teachers-Ms. Hall, Mrs. DePalma, Mrs. Lange, and Mrs. Quinter-who continued to nurture her love of education.

Fendi lived her 12 years with strength, resilience, and a spirit far beyond her age. She was family-oriented, encouraging, and deeply caring of others. With her outspoken nature, quick wit, and compassion, she often seemed like an "old soul," wise beyond her years. She walked into every room with grace and confidence, capturing hearts and inspiring those around her.

Her bravery, humor, and unwavering love will forever be remembered. Though her time with us was too short, Fendi leaves behind a legacy of joy, courage, and faith that will be cherished for generations.

Her light will never fade. Fendi's legacy is everlasting.
