Sondra actually found this for me. This was my friend who I had dated off and on for the past couple of years who took a project at the WTC earlier this year. She was in the second tower.

She was an awesome girl...

I also heard that at the last U2 concert, on the big screen they listed all the missing people's names...hers was the last name listed.

I would hate for us to forget the human face of this tragedy...my thoughts and prayers are with her family and everyone else's who were so deeply traumatized by this nightmare...

My sincere condolences.

 

My sincere sympathies and condolences.

Thanks guys...

It just seems that in the what seem to be years that have passed since 9-11, we have forgotten a little about what went down that day. It's something that I will never, nor can I, forget. I hope no one else does either...

I think it's one of those defining moments in your life and in this country's history, no less.

But this is not a plea for sympathy for me...it's just my little way of making sure that Suzanne and everyone else was murdered that day are not forgotten.


Keep the flags waving...

 

This is a better picture of her...

 

I just got the chills. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

 

Greg,

I have wondered about your friend several times since that awful day. I almost asked about her several times but decided she must have been one of the lucky ones since I hadn't seen you mention her. I am very sorry to hear that she was lost.

Suzanne will not be forgotten nor will those who were murdered with her. We cannot forget unless we wish to have this happen over and over again.

Thanks for honoring Suzanne and all who died that day by posting this.

 

So sad. In my work, I am involved with a number of projects where it has become normal to discover that someone that we worked with is now gone. On one of my projects, the entire IT staff and the vendor's on-site personnel were all lost. What can you say or do?!

 

Another quick point:

On the aforementioned project, I deal directly with the senior counsel at a major insurance company that was very heavily damaged by the attack. I spoke to him on Sept. 13th, and was a bit taken aback at how "down to business" he was. Then I got to think about it for a minute, and realized how much respect the leaders of our nation's big businesses deserve for putting their noses to the grindstone during the weeks following the attacks despite their intense personal losses. They helped make sure that we have the luxury of avoiding the added pressures of a collapsed economy. It may sound cold-hearted, but it's real courage on their part. One of the characteristics of Americans that separates them from most other cultures is the depth of our consummate professionalism. Like the professionals in our armed forces, and in Washington, the professionals of New York City are working hard, and making some really tough calls, and under unprecedented circumstances, in order to get things back to normal. Just something to think about.
