Tallaksen, who was like a sister to Frack, felt the pain as if she were a part of the family. When she died, a part of me died, lamented Tallaksen. Frack was described as a person who oved to be with people and liked school. Kathy always enjoyed school. stated Frack's mother, and she always had a good time when she was with friends, either in school or at home. The 14-year-old freshman kept herself busy working on art projects for school and reading. She was especially fond of music and writing. Kathy would always spend time alone writing. She even wrote a short story. She could have been a good writer. remarked Mrs. Frack. Frack’s only career ambition was to follow in her sister’s footsteps and become a model.
