You had more of an impact on my life than you could have ever known. I miss you terribly and still think of you often.

We never met; we just share a name. Rest in peace.

Dear Debbie,

It’s been 5 years since we last talked. I still remember that phone call on Sept. 2, 2001.

I met you through my Uncle Ralph and Aunt Helen. Our 1st photo, that I still have, was taken back in 1968. We kept in touch through the years, sometimes better than others. However, we always did spend hours spent on the phone. We had lots of get-togethers whether it was here in Rochester, NYC or in Hazleton, Pa.

You gave me a bridal shower, you were a Maid of Honor in my wedding, you are Godmother for my firstborn -- Nicole.

Nicole still loves you dearly and misses you. Someday, I may be able to explain what happened to you, but right now, a 5 year old cannot possibly understand why you were taken from her.

With you having found true love, I expected that my next trip to NYC would be to attend YOUR shower and wedding -- not for your memorial service. When I finally met your fiancée, you were not by his side. I really looked forward to the future phone calls of what to do when your baby would be crying or driving you nuts. I would have thought that we'd grow to be old ladies talking back and forth about life. But, the evildoers had a different idea and took you -- a precious lovely spirit -- away from us.

Well, Debbie, you are an angel now. Even though it was done through the physical world -- I do look forward to seeing you in the next world. Though I am not able to hug you tight as I used to, I'm REALLY glad that I did that on our last meeting, in NYC back in May.  I never could have imagined that this would be my last opportunity to hug you. I'm glad that that you called us that first weekend, in September 2001, to tell us about your engagement--that short time before the world changed.

You only had 36 years of life but you made a real difference while on this earth! You traveled [I was always worried when you did so] to 50 or more countries and was never harmed while on foreign soil--only to die at home on our very own soil!  I never would have imagined that this could possibly have happened! 

I now let my friends know I love them daily because of this- and I still feel funny saying it, but it's because of things such as these, that I feel compelled to do so.

I'm really glad I have those memories journalized and, through photo's of you in my scrapbooks, you WILL be remembered for all you did! That's all I have left, but my children will always have those photo's, even if they can't remember you-as I did. Only in this fashion, can they can see you for the beautiful person outside as well as within.

I love you and will seek your guidance through life--my angel Debbie.

Love, Valerie

Post your memorial thoughts:

Share your feelings and memories of grief and sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories.  If you knew this person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with us something about his/her life:

  • what kind of person he/she was, 
  • what nice points you remember about him/her, 
  • what kind of relationship you had with him/her, 
  • what you two perhaps did together, 
  • what he/she meant to you, 
  • or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging for other people.

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!

9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The revenue goes back to maintaining this site.

Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
