First of all I want to send my prayers to Manika's family. My heart goes out to them. Manika was such a beautiful soul and a good friend to me. Manika, I miss you so much, and you will forever be in my heart and soul. You always greeted me with your radiant smile and always said the right words to brighten up my day. I thank God everyday for allowing me to meet you. Manika, you were an angel in my eyes, and now you're an angel in my heart. May God keep your soul safe and warm for eternity, and I will cherish the fun times we had together. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. I remember on my birthday you were the only one that cared enough to buy me flowers and that beautiful shirt. You were a special person in my life, and I thank you for your loving kindness. I miss you dearly but I know we will see each other again in another time and place.
It's amazing how many lives you touched in your 22 years in this world. We shouldn't weep, for we haven't lost anyone. We've only gained an angel. Manika, you will be truly missed. Heartfelt sympathies go out to all those she left behind. Mili Handa, friend

That's what I always liked about you, Cesar -- that smile, that confidence, with the slight shyness bubbling underneath. I'm glad I did know you, and I'm appreciating your presence in the world even more so now. Much love to your family and your wife. I will always keep them in my prayers and hope that they find peace. Carmen Lezeth Suarez, college friend
Chris had a special way about him, serious and determined, with a sense of mischief there in the twinkle of his eyes. He drew people to him; they wanted to be near him; to be like him. Yes, he was an incredibly successful man for his young age. However, his life was so much more than that. He was an honest, spirited, loyal and devoted person. He never let his family or friends down, and he meant so much to more people than he will ever know. He is so deeply missed by his family and friends, but the memories of happier times is there to help us all. I'm his "big sister," but now he's my guardian angel. Chris, I'll miss our wrapping paper war this Christmas. We love you! Marianne Merritt, sister
I did not know you, but from what my wife's family said you were a funny man. Seeing what happened with my own eyes to the towers was hard enough. To think I might have known someone is even harder. Words cannot express what your family is going through. I did go to a small vigil they had if front of your home, and I could tell your friends and family really miss you. You've left a mark on a lot of people. I'm sorry I did know you more. From what I saw you were well liked. I'm sure you won't be forgotten. Alexander Salas, Fuzzie's husband and friend
Family and friends lovingly remember Kevin Murphy for his kindness and easy laugh. His devotion to his wife and children and his profound faith were the cornerstones of his life. Since September 11, his wife Beth has had to face the fact that her best friend and partner is no longer here. She finds herself stepping in to try and do all the 'Dad' things, often asking herself, 'What would Kevin do?' She comforts herself and her children, Connor and Caitlyn, with the belief that they have a very special guardian angel in heaven now. Indeed all who knew Kevin Murphy will always carry his spirit in their hearts. Ron Ryan, brother-in-law
Murph was a really good guy -- liked by all when we were in St. Rose together. We were co-captains on the varsity baseball team. Our team stunk but we all had fun and Murph was one of the reasons we have good memories. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Always a friendly smile, a good neighbor, someone who we will always remember fondly and whom we are so honored to have known. He was a hero who ran to help others.
I worked with Chris briefly at Wheat First Union. Although I didn't know him well, since we worked in different offices, my association with him has brought this terrible event much closer to home for me. Although my words cannot begin to describe the loss you and your family must be feeling, please know that my thoughts are with you. Greg Weibley, co-worker
That's what I always liked about you, Cesar -- that smile, that confidence, with the slight shyness bubbling underneath. I'm glad I did know you, and I'm appreciating your presence in the world even more so now. Much love to your family and your wife. I will always keep them in my prayers and hope that they find peace. Carmen Lezeth Suarez, college friend
Many years have passed since the last time we saw each other. But the memories of great times with you and your family remain etched forever in my mind. God bless you Robert and may He also bless the loved ones you left behind.
Bob was the father of two wonderful kids, aged 9 and 6. He was a graduate of Columbia University where he was co-captain of the 1978 Track Team and still is holds the school record for the 4x400 meter relay. He was an outstanding hard worker and loved life. Pete Schuder, college track coach
Thank you for your sacrafice.You have opened our eyes and hearts. My prayers are with your family left behind even though I know you are in a wonderful place with our God. I don't know what else to say, just know that even though we have never met, you have touched my heart. God bless you and all your loved ones.
I knew Mike in passing during high school. He was fun, well-liked and really cute. Our physics teacher even tried to help me get to know him when I was looking for a prom date! Mike will be missed. My heart goes out to all the families of September 11. I know from personal experience that the loss of a loved one never truly heals, but it does get easier with time. Jen, high school classmate
Stephen was really the first New Yorker I ever got to know and what a wonderful way to be introduced to New York! Being from Nebraska, I didn't know what to expect, but Stephen made my husband and me feel right at home. I got to talk to him almost daily when he worked for Oppenheimer Funds and I remember a very funny and lively young man. Though he is gone, he will be remembered fondly and always as I first met him, laughing and joking and very much alive.
I only knew Stephen for a short time when he was a wholesaler for Oppenheimer. I will never forget his optImism and enthusiasm. Stephen was the kind of person you never forget. He will be greatly missed.
I am sending a tribute to my nephew who I lost on September 11. I watched Damion grow from a baby to a grown man. I just want Damion to know that he will always be in our heart. I want him to know his Mom misses him a lot. Rest in peace, Damion Junior Waldron, uncle
I simply had the pleasure to meet and speak with Peter as he was a customer of mine. We were usually trading jokes throughout the year. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Peter Moutos, business colleague
I didn't know Jude very well, although he lived next door. He left Lebanon to study in the Carribean. Then he started working in New York. His mother used to visti my mom regularly. She used to tell us about his determination, success, caring spirit, and very warm heart. ... I wish that the Moussa family would never have to suffer another similar loss. May God be with them.
My condolences go out to the Motronni family whom I got to know quite well. I thinkMarco had a purpose in life which he did not get to complete and which our nation willcomplete for him. May he rest in peace. John Mendoza, fellow member of Latin group Tipica Novel
I work with Brian's brother in law. It was all very devastating when we heard the news, expecially since it was so close to home for one of us. We prayed that they would find him. We gave as much love and support to his brother in law. But they have started this memorial fund and I think that's great. God bless all and love one another in this hard time. Denice Apple, works with brother in-law
For my brother, I love you dearly! I haven't had a moment pass that you weren'ton my mind and you fill my heart. I miss you and I miss you more each day. I amgrateful for the 32 years I had with you. I'm sorry our time together was cutshort, but Brian that's only until I see you again in Heaven. I loveyou, Brian. Angie Moss, sister
Bry, I love and miss you so much. You were my best friend and myshoulder to lean on and I will never be the same again. Your smile lit up my lifeand will be remembered forever. Wait for me son, for one day I hope we'll betogether again. Patsy Moss, mother

I see your face before me every day. I remember when you held me in your arms with fear in your eyes and said to me repeatedly, "Genelle, don't worry we will be all right." These are the words that play over and over in my mind, and I ask myself why? I was just beginning to know you and you vanish without saying goodbye, but I know this situation is temporary. We will continue where we left off. May your soul rest and await in peace. Genelle Guzman, co-worker
God bless you always. You were a wonderful nephew to my neighbor Mary. I heard many wonderful things about you. May you rest in peace. Michelle Kristen Ellias, friend of aunt Mary
Lynne was a dear friend to our daughter and our family and one of those shining stars who lit up a room with her very presence. She told me how excited she was about working in the big city and I told her to follow her dreams. The only thing I warned her about was the guys because she were so beautiful. You will always be beautiful in our hearts and memories. We love you.
Shevonne Olicia Mentis was born to Myrtle Bazil and Aubrey Mentis on November 1st, 1975 in Guyana, South America. In July of 1999, Shevonne migrated to the United States to join her family. She attended a GED program at LaGuardia Community College, took courses in computer and started working as a receptionist at Marsh & McLennan Companies, on the 93rd floor, in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. Shevonne also enrolled herself at the Borough of Manhattan Community College and was starting her third semester in fulfilling her dream of a degree in Business Management. Shevonne had no children, but she loved to take care of her nieces and nephews. She loved to go to church on Sundays, was an excellent cook and had a very outgoing personality. Her visit on this Earth was brief but she has touched the hearts of almost everyone who knew her and even those she didn't know.
Always a friendly smile, a good neighbor, someone who we will always remember fondly and whom we are so honored to have known. He was a hero who ran to help others.
Thousands of rescuers across our nation make that same honorable choice each day, just as Vincent and so many others made on 11 September. May we always respect their commitment.
Everyday, I miss you more and more. I carry with me everywhere I go a picture of you in full uniform with that bright smile. Everytime I feel a little blue, I look at the picture and it gets me through rough times.
There's an expression out there that says, "Time heals all wounds." After the events of September 11, I can't say that that is entirely true. Being from Bayonne and having worked myself on the 93rd floor of the south tower from December 1999 to November 2000 for the Voter News Service, and therefore having so many memories of the World Trade Center, that incomprehensible day is something that has literally occupied my mind constantly ever since. I have taken it personally, and then knowing that people whom I remember were directly affected, makes it even more personal. I knew Steven's daughter for several years in school, and it really hurts to think that someone you know has to endure a loss on this scale. Mr. Morello, and the Morello family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I think about you everyday. I think about your loving wife and kids who I know must miss you terribly. I am so sorry. Michelle Harrison, co-worker of victim's wife

I can no longer pray for Laura Lee at each bed time prayer on bended knee, to ask God to keep Laura Lee in good health and to protect her wherever she may be. I can only ask God to keep her in the bosom of His love to eternal rest. If you my friends, would look up to the cross, then look through the cross you will see Laura Lee. Laura Lee, we love you and we miss you. The Lord will give strenght unto his people. The Lord will bless his people with peace. Blessed be the Holy name of the Lord. Robert DeFazio, uncle and godfather
It saddens me to hear the names of those who have been lost in this horrific disaster. After hearing about Kristen's death, I would like to send my sincerest sympathies to her family -- from one Montanaro to another. Mark Montanaro
I worked with Frank for several years at Bankers Trust Company. I will always remember his great sense of humor. Frank told me some of the funniest jokes that I still tell to this day. He was a terrific person who was highly thought of by clients, friends and co-workers. I will miss him.
Greg (and his twin brother) and I went to SHP together and rode the bus together from home. I was a year older but Greg was always the clown and funny one. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing and send my sympathies to his family. Michael Ciani, schoolmate
Judd was a friend of our family (the Guerriero Family). He was always so kind to my parents and a great friend to my brother, Gary. Last time I saw Judd was at my Nana's funeral. So nice of him to be there for us in our time of grief. He always had a kind word and was so much fun to be around. My mother, father, brother and I are filled with sorrow. We would love to be able to help in some way. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help his wife and daughter.
Mo, we are so sorry to have lost you. You were such a pleasant good person who was always smiling. We will always miss you! Maria Knight, former co-worker
Everyone at Dean Witter, now Morgan Stanley. who knew Mohammed thought he was a very kind and gentle soul! I had seen Mohammed on September 11, while he was waiting for the bus to go home. All he ever spoke about was his family. It was an absolute pleasure working with him, being a fellow Trinidadian native like myself. My sincere condolences goes out to his family, especially his children Dorette Thomas, colleague
Louis was a classmate and friend of mine since grade school. I knew him to be honest and fair, dedicated, and a man you could trust to "do the right thing" all the time. He was a hero who had performed heroically on several occasions in the past while taking on greater responsibility in the fire department with each coming year. Vincent J. Ioia, friend
Frank was a good ol' boy. Our greeting to each other was not, "Good morning." or anything like that, but rather "Frankie, baby!" He would always answer "Joey, baby!" I shed many tears on September 11, and shed many after. I didn't know who survived at first. Then I saw Frank, Jr. on TV desperately looking for his daddy, showing his dad's picture to everyone. I'll never forget your daddy, Frank. He was a man's man. A real gem, priceless! I think of him all the time and will always keep his smile alive in my heart. Joe Saverino, friend
Although I doubt that we are related in any way, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your lost family member. I am retired Navy currently working for the Air Force overseas and can assure you that everything possible is being done to bring an end to this terrorism that has caused so much sorry for so many people.
Jeff touched the hearts of men and women by being a Godly man himself. He truly reflected Christ's love in all he did...He showed us something rare and precious ...Godly character and integrity. For that I am greatful. Rest in the peace that surpasses all understanding. Robert J. Rossi, friend

We are deeply sorry in losing someone so young and charming, with a brilliant and promising life. Condolences to Rajesh's father Arjan and mother. Mr. and Mrs. Javhar Advani, family friend
Rajesh was a wonderful, positive and fun guy. I went to NYU with him, and he was a great friend. He was always smiling, and always had something positive to bring to every situation. His family should be very proud of him. Noah Wilker, classmate
I only met Billy once, in Salt Lake City several years ago during the NCAA basketball tournament. I was there to watch my school, the Kentucky Wildcats, as was Billy. We met the first evening and immediately hit it off.
What a personable, funny and unassuming guy. He was the kind of person who you felt you had known your whole life in the first half-hour that you talked. We had a lot of fun that evening and Billy refused to let me pay for any of our food/drinks. We had a great time together and he even asked me to visit him in New York during my next visit (my sister lives in Greenwich).
I only wish that I had had the chance to visit to get to know him and his family. I know that we would have become good friends. I know that he has a very close family. My wife and I even met his mother and sister in Indianapolis a couple of weeks later. What nice people.
I pray for Billy, his wife and his children. I can't imagine the pain, but I know they are strong. The world is a better place because of people like Billy. I hope to see you again Billy, my friend.
He risked his life so selflessly and not once thought of himself. His family and friends are so proud of him for his courage and bravery, and will miss him and hold him close to our hearts forever. We love you Bob! Roseann Porcelli, stepdaughter
I knew Stuart Meltzer from my days at Miramax Films. He worked for one of the top two people there and began just when I did. He made me feel comfortable when I had to bring notes down to the big guy's office -- always friendly and always working hard. He is also a personal friend of Rob Pattillo's whom I am also life-long friends with. Stuart was a wonderful man and a wonderful human being. I think of him often, as he is the one person I did know directly who is the most horrific type of victim in this trajedy. My thoughts are with his family and I pray for them.
I met Charlie Mills in Troy, New York, when he was the Public Safety Commisioner. He helped my neighborhood set up a watch program to fight crime. His dedication to his job was obvious. I never forgot how caring and reliable he was. Mr. Mills was a warm and very likable person who left an everlasting positive impression on our community. I know that he sacrificed his life for others. Charley Mills is an American Hero and someone whose courage and selflessness I will remember for the rest of my life. Paul S. Sheremeta, acquaintance
I will always be grateful to Chris for the way he inspired my daughter to be abetter person, to believe in herself. His kind words motivated her to go on tocollege. He will be missed by many friends and family and by those like me whonever met him, but (he) touched our lives. Debra A. Marsh
I was an avid reader of Bill's articles on TheStreet.com and listened with great interest when he appeared on CNBC for various comments on Wall Street. I miss his insights, perspective, and guidance immensely. Kerry Calvert, student of his writings
Bobby, you are missed. At this time of year you come to mind so much. I can hear you sing the songs from "Rudolph" and the characters from the "Land of Misfits." You were the best.Love, Kathy, co-worker

Dan was the kindest, most sincere person I ever knew. I worked with Dan at Federal Data Corp. in Bethesda, Maryland years ago. Dan was a special person. He was liked by everyone he met. I am glad that I kept in touch with Dan over the years and am very sad that I didn't get to visit him in New York.
I will miss Dan dearly, he is a wonderful person, I loved him and he will always be in my heart. Janine Marcus
God rest your soul. You were a good, kind and gentle person. My heart goes out to Mandie, your sister, and for all the victims of this horrible attack against the American people and our way of life. Lorrie A. Ball-Arsenec, friend and sister in Christ
The last time I saw you was at my son's wedding, in which you were a groomsman. How wonderful you looked! Family, we will always remain. Your love of life stays strong in our hearts. We miss you and love you forever. Cheryl Jones, aunt
Alan was one of those people who had it going for him. He was my baseball coach and an old, good friend of my father. I wish Mark, Mellissa and the rest of Alan's family best of luck and send my sympathy to all. Kevin Fidler, friend of his children
Although I doubt that we are related in any way, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your lost family member.

She was a very caring person who loves her family. Her nieces and nephew were her joy and pride as she enjoyed life to the fullest. God be with her forever. Cheryl Hewling, family friend

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the Mendoza family. Lizette and I used to work together back in 1996. We took lunches together and discussed work, family, friends -- all the things in life that made us happy, sad, or just glad to be alive. She was a passionate, energetic woman and a devoted mother to her children. Though we lost touch when she went to work for Aon, I was deeply saddened to hear what had happened. My thoughts are with her children and my hope is they will always keep her bright spirit close to them, as I'm sure she watches over them even now. Sharmilla Sinanan, friend and former co-worker
I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I became very, very sad with this tragedy and I'd like to express my feelings to all if possible. I never have known Dora Menchaca, but I have chosen her because of one reason: my daughter works for Amgen, and she told me what happened. It's very difficult for me to find words in this situation. I'd like to say to Dora's family, in my name and in the name of my family, that we will remember her forever and that our hearts, our feelings and our prayers are with you.
You are missed very much, Dora, and we will always be praying for your family, too. You were our friend and coworker and a champion to those that were sick and in need. We will always be thankful and grateful for what you have done at Amgen.

To my knowledge I knew none of the victims personally, including Thomas. This memorial is very moving and I simply chose him to stand for my sympathy to all who were lost and all who are left behind. Perhaps also because it's easy for us to forget that airline personnel were also victims of this. Perry Townsend
Dan was my sophomore roommate at Boston College and a wonderful friend. We stayed up late many times discussing our different political ideologies. We hardly ever seemed to agree. Just two weeks before 9/11, while having one of our involved discussions, he clearly explained the basis of his conservative views. Left to themselves, people would usually make the best choice. "Dave," he said. "At the core of my ideology is the belief that people are basically good and probably smart." Dan was the "goodest" of them all and he will be missed.
Dan was the kindest, most sincere person I ever knew. I worked with Dan at Federal Data Corp. in Bethesda, Maryland years ago. Dan was a special person. He was liked by everyone he met. I am glad that I kept in touch with Dan over the years and am very sad that I didn't get to visit him in New York.
I will miss Dan dearly, he is a wonderful person, I loved him and he will always be in my heart. Janine Marcus
George was my college roommate our freshman year. We lived together for the year and remained friends afterwards. I will always remember George as an 18-year-old kid with a quick wit and a sincere heart. I cried my eyes out the days after the attack when I saw my old roommate's picture on the news as missing from the World Trade Center. It had been many years, but I recognized that grin and those eyes, just like we were still sitting in our dorm room as freshmen. Dave Foster, classmate
The last time I saw you was at my son's wedding, in which you were a groomsman. How wonderful you looked! Family, we will always remain. Your love of life stays strong in our hearts. We miss you and love you forever. Cheryl Jones, aunt
