Dear Matthew, we miss you so much and I hope that you give our family the strength it needs to move on. I will never forget you or my promise to continue to be kind-hearted and loving to all I meet, just like you were. Thank you for being my cousin. I love you and miss you so. Christine Szenes, first cousin
I think of Chris every day. He was the most out-going, happy, and enthusiastic individual I have ever met... I love him, think of him everyday, and look forward to seeing him again someday.
As long as the day turns to night and night to day so shall you memory forever live on in the hearts and the minds of all of us. I don't know you, but somehow I miss you. May the heavens await you with open arms, with love. Scott Daniels
I knew you in high school, and I found out that you were killed in the World Trade Center on September 11. I hope your family finds peace. D Menard, high school schoolmate
My heart goes out to your wife and your family. Although I know your sister best, I consider you a friend. A friendship that was renewed each time we ran into each other. Your main focus in life was to help your family and friends. That, I feel is the best tribute anyone could hope for in life. God bless you. Miguel Andrews, friend
It has taken me a long time to be able to write about Ron's loss. We served together in the 11th Special Forces, in New state. I knew how he felt after he broke his back in a fall during a fire. He was dissappointed that he would be taken off jump status. He was a good soldier, fireman and better person than most people I met in my life. His loss is something I think of each day.
Although I never knew your father/husband, my father (George Fay) considered him a good friend. I just wanted to let you know that Ron has touched more lives than you probably know, and his ultimate sacrifice for this country does not go unnoticed. My prayers are with you all. Justin W. Fay
I am so very sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. Dan and I were classmates in High School and reconnected as young adults working in Syracuse when he first worked for Price Waterhouse. He was a kind man with a great heart. Anyone that knew Dan would agree. At least God has chosen to take Dan with him to be there for his new son so he wouldn't be without his Dad. Dan and the other people who lost their lives due to a senseless horrific act of violence are continually in our families daily prayers. S. Jill Harvey, friend
Brando, there is not a day that goes by where you don't enter my mind. I will cherish all of our memories in my heart forever. Thank you for being such a loyal friend of mine. I miss you, love you, and you will alwyas hold a special place in my heart. Ray Reddin, friend
I never worked directly with Pam, but I knew her from Dean Witter. I always remember her smiling. And she always made sure she asked about my daughter. Pam will be missed. Susan Powell
A strong soul. God bless. Jane Stout, acquaintance
I would like to take a few minutes to tell you about a great man whom I never met. He was a good looking, caring and compassionate person tragically killed the line of duty. Andrew Brunn is the son of my mother's friend, Marie Losito. This young man started off as a police officer and then became a New York City fireman. The crew at the firehouse described him as a real-life angel, always willing to lend a hand. On September 11, Andrew walked through the dangerous and horrific war zone of the World Trade Center and saw a woman in a wheel chair. He tried to save both of their lives as the building was collapsing. But he was never to be seen alive again. This young man is truly a hero, and I wish I had the pleasure of meeting such a great individual. Tiffany, family friend
Patrick was very much a gentleman. He really loved being a fireman. He had a great heart. One little thing people may not know about him: He had a six-month part on a soap opera as a boxer. So he is also someone from the creative world carrying a union card. Millicent, friend
My deepest sympathy for the loss of Bernard Brown. I never had the chance to actually meet Bernard, but in my heart and spirit he is a angel. May God bless him and keep him. Ceron Lawrence
Although I did not know Bernard, I know that he was much too young to have his life taken away. To his friends and family: May God be with you through these hard times and may you get through your pain. Do it for Bernard. I feel your sorrow. To Bernard, you are greatly missed and loved. God bless. Lily Elkins
Hello, my name is Tim, and my mother's maiden name is Broderick.I know we are not related, but I wanted to send my heartfelt sympathies. I am sorry for your loss. Tim Morrisey
Sherry was my high school friend. We worked together at U.S. Trust Co. of New York on Wall Street. She was like a sister, we had so many things in common. It's funny I think about her often now, but I didn't then. A lesson learned: good friends are hard to come by. I will miss you Sherry, but I know you're in a good place. Norma Prioleau, friend
I saw you every day. The man inside the turnstile who said "Good morning" with a smile to everyone. I did not know who you were until I saw your tribute in the New York Times. I am sorry you did not make it out. There is one less person in this city who will greet people with a smile and words of cheer. May God bless you for your heroism. Lori Guarnera, World Trade Center worker
To the family of Veronique Bowers, I send my deepest sympathies and condolences at this most difficult time. I first read of Veronique in the Portraits of Grief section of the New York Times shortly after 9/11. I was and still am deeply moved by her last expressions and the love for her family and son, Dior. Something inside of me identified with her that day. I keep a candle going on my mantel for many people and have added her name resting at the base. With your family permission I would like to list my gratitude to your daughter in the credits of my disseritation project. As Veronique's life was ended to early and becasue I continue on here - she, along with others, has taught me to finish what I made a commitment to do long ago in that deep place in my heart. So, Because I can...I will. Thank you for the privilage of knowing your daughter... 9/11 has taught us how deeply connected we all are to one another. May your heart be comforted this holiday season. With Respect, Catherine Firpo, M.A.
Though I know I will never see your face, I still see you in my dreams. And though I can't talk to you now, I call to you in my prayers. And as long as you are in my heart, you will always be around. Always thinking of you my friend. We all miss you very much.
We started the same week on Feb. 26th, 1993 and I want you to know that I ran towards you guys to help on 9-11. I never gave up and I stayed. I am sorry bud, you are a true genuine kind hearted person. Not many like us left. I remember you were late for the opening and you had to buy everyone lunch, thank God it was only pizza. How funny! I will dearly miss you Tom. My Dad died and I buried him on Sept. 4th, 2001. I prayed to him to meet up with you. I will never forget you. Thanks for being part of my life as short as it was. Larry Brown, Cantor Fitz '91-'94
The cousin I lost before I had a chance to know you. May God keep you in his kingdom and may we finally embrace when I join you there. Anthony LaRotonda Jr.,cousin
To my cousin, My tears have still not stopped flowing. I can't bear the loss of you. People die all the time, and will say "my cousin died in an accident" or "my cousin died of cancer'" etc. But I have to say my cousin died at the hands of terrorists. I can't handle that. The day at the Armory filling out your missing person's form and hanging the posters hasn't left my memory. The wishing, hoping and praying we'd find you haunts me. The recovery of your body was a Godsend to the family but has ripped apart our hearts. Rich -- I truly miss you and feel for your children. They are so little and will never be able to understand what a great and wonderful person their dad was. I know that I and the remaining 12 cousins will share all the pictures, videos and stories. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten, for you are always in my thoughts.
Gary made many friends and touched many lives during his all too short life. His smile was infectious. He cared deeply for his friends and family. I met Gary in Indianapolis, Indiana, many years ago. His intelligence and love for fun and adventure made it easy to enjoy his company. Gary and I spent many late nights discussing our hopes and dreams while exploring the cultural underbelly of Indy. Who else but Gary was willing to explore Betty Boops on Massachusetts Avenue at 3AM!It still seems wrong that there will be no more Christmas cards from Gary, no more adventures in the Big Apple,no more smiles and laughter with a true and loving friend. We must move on with our lives, but I am confident that all of his friends and family will keep a special place in their hearts for Gary. His hopes and dreams will remain as our guiding light. Jonathan Chumley, friend
Although I have no relationship to this person, I feel that he should be recognized. A brave man doing his duty to save others. He's a true hero. Thai Nam Pham
I used to work with Krystine in Domenico Tours a while back. We became good friends while we worked together. I am sorry I did not keep in touch. She was such a great person. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. They are all in my prayers. Colleen Murray. former co-worker
Hi Pete, how ya doin'? I must have been saying that countless number of times as I drove by your house. I used to always see you on the corner while you were working on your house outside or just working on your lawn. I used to stop by and chat for a few or just wave as I was coming home from work. Well, we miss you. You were a great friend a great person. You are just gone too soon.
It is absolutely unbelieveable that a person could give so much for their country. This man went to work for his country at the time we needed it the most, and he gave his life for the thousands that were killed. This man exhibits not only bravery and honor, but courage that so many have had. This man gave everything he had, and in the end his reward was the greater kingdom of heaven. I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers. I would like to say "thank you" to them as well. Thank you for raising a son who cared so much for others that he was willing to risk his life to help. You raised a great son! Brandi
Each night I pray with my children (daughter 10 and son, 8). We pray for Kelly and those who suffered and still suffer from this tragedy. My prayers were with you on Thanksgiving, and hopefully will be for the rest of my life. As my children grow older, I will do my best to explain how brave people like Kelly were.
My heart is saddened because of Sean Booker's death. I knew him personally. My heart goes out to the family and his wife and children especially. I know that one day we will all be together in that great morning when Jesus comes to collect his own. There will be no more tears and sorrow, pain, despair or hate. Rest well, Sean Booker, we will see you soon. Iris Inniss and the Beth-El Pentecostal family
I knew Eddie, class of '86, Holy Cross College. While it's been probably at least 11 years since I last saw him, I will always remember, when I was a naive college freshman from Hawaii, Eddie's distinctive New Jersey accent asking me "Hey, Maui, how much ya bench?" [referring to how much weight could I bench press]. This is what I will never forget about Eddie. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. I am sorry for your loss. Mark R. Simonds, classmate, Holy Cross, 1986
I knew you in high school, and I found out that you were killed in the World Trade Center on September 11. I hope your family finds peace. D Menard, high school schoolmate
One of the nicest, kindest, most caring people I have ever met. Every one who knew her,loved her. We have truly lost an angel. Nicky Lerman, Guy Carpenter employee
David Reed Gamboa Brandhorst was the 3-year-old adopted son of Ronald Gamboa and his partner of over 13 years Daniel Brandhorst (both also on the flight). They lived in Los Angeles. They were wonderful daddies to David, who was a bright and curious child and will be dearly missed by many. Dan and Ron were also founding members of the Pop Luck Club, an organization providing support and resources for gay dads and their families. The dads and kids in their group were devasted by the death of their "brethren." Leah, Pop Luck Club
My heart goes out to you, may God bless, and I hope that everyone around the world remembers this beautiful face representing innocence and will motivate us all to achieve peace.Michael Anthony MontoyaWe never met but I often think of you with love. Gary Miles
I am so very sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. Dan and I were classmates in High School and reconnected as young adults working in Syracuse when he first worked for Price Waterhouse. He was a kind man with a great heart. Anyone that knew Dan would agree. At least God has chosen to take Dan with him to be there for his new son so he wouldn't be without his Dad. Dan and the other people who lost their lives due to a senseless horrific act of violence are continually in our families daily prayers. S. Jill Harvey, friend
You said that you liked to work above the clouds. May you look down upon us with the same amazing height you lived your life. God bless you and your family. DM, WDHS friend
I just read that you were an IBO with Quixtar. I knew we probably lost some business partners. You were so young, and your destiny was to change so many lives. I pray for your memory and that your family will carry on what you started. B. H, Quixtar IBO
One hundred days have passed, and we still think of you often. You are still alive in spirit in the hearts of those you've touched. You've touched our family and we will never forget you. JoAnn and Bob Huth, friends
Brando, there is not a day that goes by where you don't enter my mind. I will cherish all of our memories in my heart forever. Thank you for being such a loyal friend of mine. I miss you, love you, and you will alwyas hold a special place in my heart. Ray Reddin, friend
My heart goes out to your wife and your family. Although I know your sister best, I consider you a friend. A friendship that was renewed each time we ran into each other. Your main focus in life was to help your family and friends. That, I feel is the best tribute anyone could hope for in life. God bless you. Miguel Andrews, friend
I worked with Al at Tubeco in the 1970's. I was shocked to see him listed here. We had a lot of fun back in the Tubeco days. My condolences to his family and friends. Lawrence Barnett, former co-worker
Vinnny, Graduating with you and living in the same, small town for many years, your passing has deeply hurt me. I can only say may God be with you, your family and the people who did this to you. When we are done with them, they will need God's help, believe me........R.I.P. Robert Gianantonio, classmate, Lakeland Regional High School, class of '94
To my beloved sister: Not a day goes by that you are not thought of. I feel you close to me always. You were always the kind of person that brought such happiness and joy to everyone you knew. A loving daughter, beautiful sister and a fun-loving aunt. That is something no one can ever take away from us. We love and miss you always. God bless our angel. Gina Grassi, sister
I never worked directly with Pam, but I knew her from Dean Witter. I always remember her smiling. And she always made sure she asked about my daughter. Pam will be missed. Susan Powell
A strong soul. God bless. Jane Stout, acquaintance
To Larry: Next to his Dad, Eddie misses you most. You were a good friend to Big Ed and Little Eddie. Hope Doug is allowing you to cook Friday lunch in heaven. Trying to get recognition for civilian emergency responders such as you and Ed. You were instrumental in saving those day care kids and countless others. Hopefully, your stories will get out. Take care of my Ed. Your very much missed. Jane Strauss, friend
For me, 3000 miles away in California, his is was the face that represented such a profound loss. I don't know him, I know nothing about him or his family. His was one of the first photos I saw posted within a day or so of the attack and it touched my heart. This man could have been my brother, my friend. I don't know why this man, whom I have never met, stuck so firmly in my mind and affected me so deeply over all the thousands of others who perished. I felt as though I lost one of my own. In the days that followed (the attack), I watched, listened and searched the listings, hoping for someone who knew him to post that he had survived, or he had been located, but it never happened. When I remember that day, this is the face I will see that will make it not just an horrific event in our nations history, but a staggering loss of valuable people from all walks of life. I wish to extend my sincere sympathies to his loved ones - am so sorry for your loss. I sure I am not the only one who was touched by the obvious kindness that you can plainly see in his eyes.
I saw you every day. The man inside the turnstile who said "Good morning" with a smile to everyone. I did not know who you were until I saw your tribute in the New York Times. I am sorry you did not make it out. There is one less person in this city who will greet people with a smile and words of cheer. May God bless you for your heroism. Lori Guarnera, World Trade Center worker
Ronnie, you were my daughter's friend. You were a member of my family when you came to my home to see Katrina. You and Katrina were playmates and school buddies. It breaks my heart every time I think about this tragedy and the devastation it put your family and friends through. Now you are our special angel with God. But you were taken far too soon from us. Rest in peace,sweetheart, and may God watch over you and your family. In deepest sympathy, Linda Cox, friend's mother
I am deeply saddened to hear about the lost of my classmate and friend, Veronique. We met in junior high school and lost contact in high school. However, I still considered her a good friend. I know that you are in good hands now, Ronnie. I pray that you are looking down on us all and watching over your loved ones. May God bless you and your family at this sad time. I love you. Katrina Jennings-Drummond, friend

You were so young. I'm so sorry. I hope your death has not been in vain. I would like to contact your cousin who lives in Altolar. Here is my address -- (Email Link). I send my deepest condolences to your parents, especially to your mother since I am a mother, too. God keeps you in his glory forever. Nelly from Canada, friend of the family.
Howie, thank you for the times you made us all smile. I remember you as being a warm, compassionate, endearing and loving person who everyone wanted to have nearby. Remember the first year of boarding school together at Deerfield? 4-Year man! How we were learning about our new home and how to survive being away from our families? I won't forget your laugh, your funny side and how you made us feel better even if it was hanging around the breakfast table Sunday mornings or making goals on the lacrosse field. I so wish I could have caught up with you before this happened. Thank you for being my friend, Howie. I'll really miss you. I hope that I made you proud to be my friend while you were here. Please rest well, my friend.
The ocean is such a beautiful place; I can understand why you always wanted to be there. I hope that you are able to experience the same feeling now that you are in a "better" place. Thoughts and prayers are with your wife and daughters. I Saw them on "Maury" and the lifeguard chair and plaque given in the honor of Mr. Boehm. Vicki Gray
The cousin I lost before I had a chance to know you. May God keep you in his kingdom and may we finally embrace when I join you there. Anthony LaRotonda Jr.,cousin
I had the honor of knowing Deora -- I went to La Jolla Country Day with her. She was a vibrant young woman with a lot to offer. I wanted to write a letter to her parents, but did not know the words to describe my sadness and anger over her untimely death. I, along with everyone who knew her, will greatly miss her. She was a wonderful person, a person who helped to make the world a better place just by living. Darren Denyer, friend
I remember playing with Susan and her sister Dot when I was little on Tysens Lane. We had a lot of good times and fun. I will never forget her in this tragedy. God bless. Melissa, former neighbor
Richard was a wonderful person. There was not one person I know of that would not agree with me. He is definitely coming out in his children, Richie Jr. and Abigail. He did not have a mean bone in his body. I miss him terribly, but I know he is watching over us all. He is making me a better person every day. I see parts of him coming out in all of us at different times. People say he is in a better place, but I find that hard to believe. He should be here with us, his wife (my sister) and his children; we all need him.
Rich, I am stil in shock that you are no longer with us. The family will never be the same. I kept my promise to you though, I spent a few days with the kids and Traci. I will continue to do so. I will keep your memory alive, but that doesnt seem like such a hard job since so much of you is in each of them. Rich, I will miss your smiling face forever. You were the role model for our family and the attackers took you so harshly. I will love you forever. Love always,
To my cousin, My tears have still not stopped flowing. I can't bear the loss of you. People die all the time, and will say "my cousin died in an accident" or "my cousin died of cancer'" etc. But I have to say my cousin died at the hands of terrorists. I can't handle that.

You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten, for you are always in my thoughts.
A loving son and brother and a loyal friend. A smile and personality so bright, it could illuminate any room you entered. The world was cheated, having you and the other victims taken from it so soon. You are loved so much and missed terribly. I hope and pray that you are happy and at peace. Julie Boryczewski, Sister
We could not talk much because he always went to bed very early, but we had some very interesting deep conversations, some of them while we were watching the 2000 World Series on TV. I really admired him for all that he accomplished in such a small period of time, and for being so full of life. It was a pleasure meeting Marty. I am also really sad and sorry for his family and his mother, who helped me so much when I just arrived to this beautiful country and I was lost and confused. Marty told me that I will have success in this country: I know I will.
In loving memory of a wonderful friend, mother and wife. A dear friend has been lost to us, a mother to a son and a wife to a husband. We shall forever remember her smile, her quick wit and the love she showed for family and friends (with no strings attached). May God keep you safe in heaven. We love you and miss you. Carolyn and Gus Pampillon, friends

Although we left the "American Family" some years ago, we will always rememberyour smiling face, MJ, and will keep you and your family in our prayersalways. Love, the Bernicat family
Marcia Bernicat, wife of former American Airlines colleague Olivier Bernicat
It seems so unfair that you were struck down in the prime of your life. As a 1987 graduate of Virginia Tech with an electrical engineering degree, you have accomplished much in your lifetime. You have a great spouse, great children, and great extended family who all deeply miss you. We love you, miss you and know we will all meet again. Donald F. Seelbach, uncle
Kelly and I had several classes together at Miami. Although we were not close friends, I will always remember the way Kelly entered the room with a big smile. She was very bright and was always a pleasure to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. Andrea Otis
Each night I pray with my children (daughter 10 and son, 8). We pray for Kelly and those who suffered and still suffer from this tragedy. My prayers were with you on Thanksgiving, and hopefully will be for the rest of my life. As my children grow older, I will do my best to explain how brave people like Kelly were.

Craig was a wonderful person and a great friend. He made me feel welcome in a big college where it was easy to get lost, and made my first years away from home easier to bear. We love you, Craig. Be at peace. Lynn Sullivan Cox, college friend
I saw countless photos of people being looked for in the days following the attacks, but for some reason, the face of this beautiful, young woman was burned into my memory. I didn't know her, or any of her friends or family, but I think of her often and pray for her loved ones that they may find peace. Please know that someone in Pittsburgh prays for you and your precious guardian angel, Yvonne. Megan Goode
We were 14 when we met and you were always so sweet, funny and such a beautiful person. I will never forget you. When we met at the Trade Center we both screamed, kissed and hugged. Just like we did in high school. I will truly miss you. I guess that was God's way of uniting us for the last time. I finally found my one of my best friends again and I lost you forever. I will miss you always. osephine De Jesus, friend
Yvonne was the first person I met when I started taking the QM24 expresss bus from Middle Village Queens to Lower Manhattan. I didn't really know Yvonne, only to say 'Hi' on line for the bus or to talk a little on the bus. I used to hear some of her conversations and just laugh. The one thing I'll probably always remember of her was when she had her hair permed and it didn't come out right. I recently found the avacado/olive oil receipt for the frizzys she had from the perm. Whenever I wash my hair and it's frizzy I think of her and a sadness comes over me. God Bless you Yvonne and your family. Whenever I see the folks from the QM24 you are remembered. Joyce Daino, QM24 express bus
Yvonne, about a year ago to the day, we were celebrating your special 30th surprise Birthday party. My heart aches at thought that we are not going to be together for the ritual "girls' birthday" party celebration for you.Each day of my life I will remember you, tell my future children all about their Aunt Yvonne, and never forget all the amazing memories we share. I love you cuz.
I worked with Al at Tubeco in the 1970's. I was shocked to see him listed here. We had a lot of fun back in the Tubeco days. My condolences to his family and friends. Lawrence Barnett, former co-worker
