I met Aisha at PS 182 she was in the same class with my daughter Marisol Diaz. Her mom and I were both volunteer at the school. Aisha was a very sweet and quiet girl always helping others with those big bright eyes and beautiful smile. Aisha we’ll never forget you.

To the Harris Family,

May God continue to give all of you strength on this memorial day. I was just looking at the people who lost their lives on this horrific day, and I came across the beautiful picture of Aisha. I'm sure you all are remembering her today, and know that people across the country still care and bear your pain as well. God bless all of you.

Wow. It's been so long. I am just finding out about Aisha eight years later, and it has hit me hard. I went to school with her in sixth grade, and I remember that I was so bad, and she would always tell me to be a good girl. Well, I just knew her in school, and I see that her life is so special.... May god bless.

It has almost been eight years and I cannot believe Aisha is still gone. She was my best friend, and there is not one day that passes that I don't think of her. May she rest in peace. You will never be forgotten....

Aisha Harris was a such a nice girl, such a pretty girl. I remember her laughing and us passing notes in music class. She was so honest and so funny all of the time. I remember how much she loved her family, especially her brother. She was so smart, too, I could never outdo her science projects. She always managed to one up me on that front. My last memory of her was a train ride into the city where we laughed about old times. We grew up in pretty rough neighborhood during rough times, but she was as much the girl next door as any girl on Main Street USA. I pray for the Harris family. She will never be forgotten!

Ahhh, Aisha. I remember her beautiful smile and those big eyes. She was my cousin Sulma's best friend, so she was always getting at me and Ingrid (the younger generation) about boys! She was so cool. I still think about her.... Love goes out to her family and friends! Her laughter was so unique. I know she is missed dearly! You were a great loss to the family ... you and my sister! We love you guys 'n' miss ya!

I have known Aisha since I was eight, and she was the most caring, sweetest person I ever knew and will ever know. She will be missed.

I didn't know her, but my name is Aisha Harris from Boston, MA. I was doing research online about the WTC, and I found this page. I would love to wish the family of Aisha well, and remember you are blessed to have another angel looking down to protect you.

Sincerely,
Aisha

I didn’t know Aisha but my sister-in-law, Arlene, did. They went to school together, Stevenson H.S., and my sister-in-law showed me the yearbook. I recognized her picture, and there was this poem that Aisha wrote that gave me chills because she wrote something at the end of the poem talking about a bomb thingy. I’m not sure--I don’t remember--but it was crazy!

You were beautiful and there for people to look up to. A lot of people are going to miss you and I can't even imagine what your parents are going through just know that it affected everybody and I was watching tapes of u when u was little at aunt Edith and uncle Billy's wedding, you dancing with isis and awon. You was so full of life and for that I'm grateful and I wish I got to know my cousin a little better <3 Just know you're always in my heart

Hey there,

Well I didn't know her, but my name is also Aisha Harris from Jamaica and I sympathize with Aisha's Family.
I pray that God will comfort the family and bless them in ways that they could never think or imagine.

Love,
Aisha

Aisha Harris... Wow, I still remember the time when I first met her in my sixth grade year at IS 174. We shared times in the band, her playing the alto sax, and me on the baritone horn. We shared talk of summers in the Carolinas, her at grandma Mattie's, and her famous baked Mac and cheese. Aisha was a great friend who will be missed, but who I know is in a better place.

As the 5 year anniversary being just days away I felt compelled to write about you, as writing is my tool of choice. I knew Aisha well we were in the same class from 1st grade thru 8th. Reading Suzy's entry brought tears to my eyes and an ache in my heart. You were one of the most fun, caring and great friends anyone could ever have. I'll always remember your beautiful smile. Every day that I knew you I learned something new about you that I hadn't before and it just made me love you even more. May God bless you and shower you with his many splendid wonders.

I heard about Aisha about 3 months after the attacks.  I was deeply disturbed to hear of the tragic incident.  You see, Aisha and I were in school together since Jr High School.  I mean as usual, people tend to go their seperate ways as time progresses.  Nonetheless, I continued to consider her a friend.  Aisha was one of those people that could literally light up a room.  She was well liked and loved by many.  I remember going to Skate Key or even the movies with her and a few other friends.  Those were fun times.  My deepest condolences to her family.  May she rest in peace.

On another website i posted about Aisha and i cried the whole time. Here i am again at another website crying my eyes out forsomeone i didn't even know. But thats not a bad thing, from all the other sites ive heard nothing but good things about her and everything that people have posted reminds me of someone i know, so i do definitely feel their pain. May god keep aisha alongside him as she journey's through her new found home in heaven. To everyone who knew and loved her may god bless you all and i do mean that. Oh, here i go again crying. A piece of my heart was taken away after reading post after post and i have nothing but pure respect for her, deep and utter respect. God bless and never forget,"Never stay stuck on a lovedone you've lost, because now theyre in heaven shing their grace upon you and if you believe that,they will always be in your heart and memory.

            God bless.

You know, the weirdest thing is that it took me THREE WHOLE YEARS to find out that one of my High School classmates was a victim of the 9/11 attacks.

I never hung out with Aisha, but I did know her back in Adlai E. Stevenson High School.  She and her closest friends (and yes I do remember almost everyone e.g., Raquel, Sulma, Jisha, Jamila) had classes with me from the 10th grade to the 12th.  From what I know of Aisha and from being around her and her people in these classes and in school, Aisha was one of the Honor students.  I remember when they cut out the Honors Program that the Honors and St. Lawrence students were put together and that is how everyone got to know each other either on a friendship or acquaintance basis.  One of the classes highlighted was Mr. McMahon’s English class in Senior Year.

Although Aisha was an acquaintance, she was still one the nicest people you could ever get to know.  I didn’t know much about her, but I did know she was intelligent and was part of the Senior Counsel.  I also met her mom, dad and brother at graduation on June 25, 1997.  I am writing because I am still shocked to find out that she was one of the victims of these vicious attacks.

All of this time, I prayed that noone I knew would be in those buildings.  I cannot feel anything except wish that there was something I could have done to prevent the events that happened.  I’m pretty sure that everyone feels this way.  But what happened that day should not have taken place, and I want to take this time out send out my deepest condolences to her family and friends.

She has crossed over and is now with God; May she rest in peace.

I just wanna say that it's gonna be 4 years since that fateful day and I still can't seem to get it out of my head. I got to know Aisha while she and I worked in the World Trade Center, and I had only seen her Sept. 10th going into 1 WTC, while I went into 2 WTC. Having gone to school with she and her brother, my sorrow is only heightened. I just wanna extend my condolences to the Harris family and just say that Aisha was a beautiful person and she will definitely be missed.

My condolences to the Harris family who have all been great friends to me since childhood.  Aisha was very kind and intelligent and she will be sorely missed. To every one in the Harris family I know that I too am bearing the burden of this loss and am praying for you all.  God bless.
