I hope your spirit is holding safe within God's and all is well. Love to you and your family and rest in peace, Lorisa. With love. Darlene Spell, friend/former co-worker
I am so saddened by Lorisa's untimely passing. I went to Hudde Junior High School with her. She was a bright light to all who knew her; to know her was to love her. She had an uncanny sense of humor and was always headstrong. I just can't believe it. I used to see her on Flatbush junction weeks before the tragedy. (She was a) happy woman, always laughing. My condolences go out to her mom Geneva, her brother Thomas and her husband as well as her precious children. I made it safely that day -- I worked on the 12th floor. I didn't cry until I found out about Lorisa. She is in a better place. May God comfort her entire family. Peace and love. Ronald Joseph, schoolmate
You were a very special friend of mine at BAHS when I had few friends. I have thought of you often through the years and I will never forget you. God bless you, Kip. Sandy Sladaritz Barbour, friend
I went to high school with Kip at Berlin American High School in Berlin, Germany. I remember him as always seeming upbeat. He was a excellent basketball player as well. I am so terribly sorry to hear that he was lost in the Pentagon crash. My best wishes go out to his wife Nancy and their families. God bless you all at this most difficult time! Know that Kip's BAHS classmates are thinking and praying for you! Sharon Sopp, high school classmate
I want to thank Ms. Taylor for being a teacher to the young children of Washington D.C., where I attended public schools in the l960s and 1970s. I know that she must have been a wonderful, inspirational educator because she was still teaching right to the end. My family and I extend our sympathy and blessings to her and her family, friends, and students. J. Young
To the memory of Hilda Taylor, a person who lived her life teaching. There cannot be a gift more fitting than the gift of knowledge. Hilda passed her gift on to the children who are our future. Thank you, Hilda. That gift will make a world in so much turmoil today a much better place tomorrow. My prayers are with you, your family and friends.
I am moved to tears by seeing your beautiful face on my computer screen. You are a wonderful human being and a teacher, extraordinaire. I say "are" because your grace is still with us. Shine on in the heavens through the stars. We will see you each night as we gaze upon the vast heavens and think of your silent presence each day.
You were the first friend I met in junior high school. We went our own ways, but always joked with each other. We re-established our friendship after high school and we learned how to play guitar, studied the martial arts, and talked about God. You were a beautiful person, who always remembered to love your neighbor, like you love yourself. Thanks Mac, I'll miss you. Stacy Blumberg, friend
Tiny -- Thank you for being in my life. I will never forget you. We made it through the first attack and I'm sorry I couldn't get to you guys on 9-11. I ran to help and I never left or gave up hope. Take care, my friend. You were so gentle and I will always remember how you rolled up your sleeves and went to work. Goodbye for now. Lawrence Brown, co-worker

Tom and Toms are sacrificed for the stupidity of Bushs. We loose our beloveds in the wars which is the result of the animosity of two fools who know each other well, and whose soldiers have never seen nor know anything about each other.To the family of Toms: please accept my condolences.
My wife and I met Will and his wife, Sue, while we were on our honeymoon in Italy. For the nine days we spent with them, he always had a smile and nice things to say. I'd like to think that we bonded during that time. He had worked with a fellow alum of mine and unfortunately, she perished as well. Myself and my wife, Christine express our deepest condolences to Sue and her family. You are in our prayers. Be strong.
Tom was a sharp, witty gentleman with a knack for making money. The world will miss him. His family and friends will miss him, and no one who knew him will ever forget him. There has got to be a better picture of him out there? Doug Melcher, friend
I met Ken through emergency medical services. He was a funny guy and was always polite. Great emergency medical technician, husband and father. Gemmy Siegel, friend
Paul was the best of the best. You could always count on him to do the right thing.
He was talented and smart; he could build and fix anything and he was totally devoted to his wife and three children. He worked on his days off and after work all during the spring and summer of 2001 to expand their home.
He was a loving uncle and godfather -- we miss him so very much but we know he is in a much better place. He always had a big smile and was generous with his time and talents.
He ran into the towers that day, an Emergency Services police officer, and saved thousands of people, never thinking about his own safety.
He loved to have people over for a BBQ and be with his family. He hated to miss anything that was happening in his children's lives. He was just crazy about the new baby -- who was only 2 weeks old on September 11.
We will never forget. We will try to go on and be happy because you would have wanted that. We love you and miss you every day and we will try to make you proud. We will honor you all the rest of our days. You meant the world to us.
We've never met, but we served at 2/25 in Garden City. Yours is a face and a name I will never forget. Semper Fi devil dawg. Hoorah! R. Rivera, fellow Marine
I worked with Norma when I first started my career at IBM in 1989. She was always great to me and extremely helpful. In an environment that, at times, was pretentious, I truly appreciated her warmth and graciousness. My condolences to her family and may God bless you all. Erik Tomasi,former co-worker
It was great to see you two years ago at our 10-year reunion. It was obvious then that you were proud to be part of the NYFD. You were so brave, and so full of life. God bless you. Satu Ostrove, former classmate
I haven't seen Mike in years, but he's the third of my former college hockey teammates to pass away since we graduated in the mid- and late 80s. He was the second killed by a terrorist (another was on the Lockerbie Pan Am flight). Tamish was part of a group of guys who had a lot of fun on road trips and just hanging around our apartments or the cafeteria at school. College was a naive, crazy time for all us and we somehow got through it. I'm pleased to see that he was a vice president. That's a title I would come to expect, not only from Mike but also from the group of guys I played with and the type of students who graduate from Fordham University. Since September 11, I've gotten in touch with other friends from school. Life's too short to not stay in touch. I'll always remember Mike and continue to offer prayers. Rich Libero, former college teammate
I took a class with Maurita at Amherst. I hardly knew her. I can't believe she is no longer alive. I wish her family strength to get through this senseless tragedy.
What can I say about Kevin that has not already been said. He was an awesome person. I considered him one of my best friends. I loved that guy and I will deeply miss him, he will be in my heart forever. My deepest sympathies go out to all the families and friends who lost someone in this tragedy.
I never met Madeline, but I feel for her family. Her father-in-law ... was a childhood friend of my brother-in-law (who) saw an article in the LA Times about Madeline and how she reported the hijack to her home office by telephone as it was going on. We all felt very bad. I would like to send our condolences to (the) family. Joe Barrales, family friend
Ed was the oldest of seven kids in a tight-knit family. He leaves behind a loving wife, two kids and devasted parents and in-laws. It is still so unbelievably painful for all of us. His death has left an incomprehensible void in our lives, yet we know that some day we will be able to think of him without so much pain and cherish the wonder and beauty he brought to all who knew him.
I was sorry to hear today of your death. We were great friends at Goin & Co. years and years ago when you were the summer help. I'm know you will be missed by your family especially Jimmy. Trish Diaz (Walsh), former co-worker

I have known Rob as a very kind person and it was a pleasure to meet and work with him. He made every day a good day for me. I will never forget him. My deepest thoughts are with his family. James Ward, former colleague
You have left many of us wondering. We can only imagine the stories you are telling them in Heaven. Keep on telling those stories, my friend, before long you will have God Himself believing in what you are saying. We miss you terribly Michael, thanks for the memories. Denis W. Burke, friend
My memory of you is not carved out by the end of your life, but rather by the way you lived it. You had a love for life and always got those around you to share your enthusiasm. I'm glad I got to be one of them.

Thomas was not only my husband but my best friend. I miss him so so much, but I know that he did not die in vain and someday we will be together again. I Love You Broffie! Jill Swift, wife
Tom was a great son-in-law. I went to bed every night knowing by daugther Jill would be loved forever. Tom and Jill had everything going for them. Tom had a great sense of humor and a love of simple things -- a game of golf, a good game of trivia or just watching a Yankee game. He never asked for anything. Tom accomplished so much in such a short time, and he was one of the smartest people -- on all subjects people -- that I know. He was loved and is greatly missed by all. Jane Greene, mother-in-law

Brian, I miss you everyday. I have the picture of the women in Endlass summer hanging on my wall. I worry about your family, especially, your parents. I keep you in my heart and you are a part of my soul. Mike is over "there" now, fighting in your honor..Please keep him safe. Terry Galpin, Friend
L.T. Sweeney, you were an officer and a gentleman, a kind and fun person. I truly enjoyed serving with you in VF-2. Remember, if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right. I'll never forget. Brian Lutz, friend
For my friend Brian, you are sorely missed every day. You've touched so many lives, and changed many for the better. See you at Valhalla my fellow warrior, save me a seat, and pint of Guiness. I miss you buddy. By the way, your family is strong and doing well, you would be proud. Michael Kenneway, life long friend
I worked with Kristine while at Merrill Lynch. She always made meetings more fun and was just a wonderful person to be around. God bless her. Eddieo, co-worker
No matter how many people I meet or how long I live, I will never, ever, again have a friend like the friend you were to me. Holly Bialorucki, close friend
May we remember him, a contributor to our economy and to the image of New York. I am a Canadian. Robert Sutcliffe and his family will be in my prayers. Andrew Salmons, Canadian friend
I was stunned to open the most recent issue of Plattsburgh Today and find that my classmate Bob Sutcliffe was among the victims of the September 11 tragedy. I cleary remember Bob as a great guy who loved to have fun. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his entire family. Patrice Hart Schubert, classmate
Noreen and Stephen, I am Joanne Ganssle's sister in Orlando. I pray every day for your daughter. God bless you and your family. Gerri Ganssle-Helms, friend of parents
Larry was a fun-loving, kind, generous soul who will not be forgotten!! I know that he is conquering the ski slopes up there in the sky!!! Penni Kessler, friend
Although we were in the same homeroom at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn (Class of 87), I never really knew Patrick other than him he was a great track star. I often saw him running on Shore Road while I was on my way home. I work three blocks away from the World Trade Center, but got up late that day just as everything was happening. I don't really know what that means in the grand scheme of things but anyway -- May God bless Patrick and his family. Anonymous, friend/classmate
My nephew Steven and I went to the Jets game together on Sunday, September 9th,, as we had done together for the past 10 years. We sat in our usual section and laughed as we always did when we were together. At the end of the game we hugged and left each other, saying we would see each other soon.
On Tuesday, September 11th, we both went to work in the World Trade Center, Tower 1. I worked on the 26th. floor and Steve was on the 105th. We were both goverment securities brokers working for competing firms. When the first plane hit our building, we all were momentarily in shock but managed to scramble down the stairs and out of the building.
Steven was the most loving person I ever had the pleasure to know. I was able to spend a great deal of time with him when he was a young boy and I watched him grow into a fantastic young man. We became best friends and he brought much joy to our family. I was his Godfather and he was my daughter's Godfather. He loved people, especially the children. The kids would always love to see him. Steven brought happiness to everyone He came in contact with. We are going to continue to hold the Jet season tickets so that one day in the years to come, I will be able to bring a young boy named Frankie, Steve's 18 month old son, to a game and share some laughs with another great person. The word Hero is used very frequently in this world to describe atheletes or others, but Steven was our Hero. His family and friends will never forget the love and warmth He shared with all He touched.
Billy- You were a great friend and you are greatly missed. You will always have a special place in my heart. There is not a day that goes by that you are not remembered. God got a very special angel when you left us.
I met Jimmy when I was in college, where you tend to make many acquaintances but few friends. Jimmy was definitely a friend -- one of those people you wanted to be around no matter how you were feeling. Jimmy would always make you feel better by listening intently to what you had to say, showing genuine concern for you and your interests, reflecting compassion when you were down and sharing in your joys and achievements when you celebrated. I will always remember Jimmy, not because of the way in which he died, but because of the way he touched my life in the way he lived.
Because of the actions of Officer Suarez and others, many lives were saved. May we NEVER forget the ultimate sacrifice that Ramon and the other officers and firefighters made for their fellow Americans. Terry Mulios, friend
My husband and I watched David grow from a boy to a young man, and all the while David had a terrific smile. His optimism and caring for others less fortunate were tributes to his parents, brother and sister. We feel lucky to have known David. S. Borgese, neighbor and friend
Why did God give us David? To be a friend, to teach us to love and care for each other, to provide hope, to give a helping hand, to be a voice of reason, to share in our tears, to make us laugh, to guide us though our fears and to help us dream. God gave us David because he understood that we would be better people for knowing him. Dave, I miss you more than words could ever tell.
You were a person who illuminated the lives of everyone around you. It was a privilege to be your classmate and most of all your teammate. Wrestling showed us what we were made of, and we all saw you were made of pure guts and pure love. I miss you buddy. Brion Regan, junior high and high school classmate and teammate
He was a great son, brother, and friend with a contagious personality that spread like wildfire to all those who knew him. He won't soon be forgotten. Jon, friend
May God continue to bless and keep your family. My remembrance of you as a friend to my family will live on and on forever. I still view your photos in my wedding with tears in my eyes and a joy in my heart for having the privilege of knowing you. Camille Lucius, friend

To my husband, Ed, your friends are confirming your love for me. You are a true hero, though unrecognized. I wish I had only told you I love you on that horrible day. My confidence in the fact you would be taken care of was wrong. I wish you hadn't had the dedication and love for those buildings that you did. Everyone misses you deeply. You were the big man with the bigger heart. Jane Strauss, wife
Ed was the oldest of seven kids in a tight-knit family. He leaves behind a loving wife, two kids and devasted parents and in-laws. It is still so unbelievably painful for all of us. His death has left an incomprehensible void in our lives, yet we know that some day we will be able to think of him without so much pain and cherish the wonder and beauty he brought to all who knew him.

You will never be forgotten. May God bless the Strada family and strengthen them during this horrible time of grief and recovery. Denise, friend of the family
Doug was a good man, and father, and employer. He is mourned by many, and we think of him often. We wish peace and healing to his son, family, and employees.
Rich, thank you for showing me the true meaning of the word "family." You know the saying "You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family", I like to think that we were cousins by blood, and brothers by choice. You always looked out for me the way a big brother would, and were there for me unconditionally through the high and low points in my life. I am overwhelmed by the number of lives you have changed. Not touched, but changed. I love you and miss you. Tom Krieger, Jr., cousin
I remember Jiff as a good man and a good Christian. Although I have not seen him in many years, but I feel that he was still the same man. I have no doubts that he was a good husband to his wife and a good father to his children. Sarah Hamby Dickens, classmate

Although I did not know Jeffery Stark, he is the same age as me. I just want allwho read this to know, that being Canadian, (this) has deeply affected us also. We loveour neighbours and we will never forget. We are so sorry. We shall overcome. Robert Gagnon
There is not one day that goes by that I and my family do not think of you. Remember how you pushed me in the pool at Aunt Pat's party? You always loved joking around and loved making fun of my different hairdos. It was very hard to get married 10 days after the tragedy. Joe and I missed you at our wedding but know in our hearts and spirits you were there having a good time like you always did! We truly miss you and your sparkling personality. We promise to always be there for Diane, Kaila and Jason. We love you! Felicia Fraulo, cousin
My heart goes out to Corina's family. I can't begin to understand what you are going through, but my heart is with you. I am also of Romanian nationality. You will never be forgotten. Irina Carabineanu
