Debra -

While at the San Francisco Giants Game on 9.11.11, I was handed a placard with your name on it, to honor and remember those who left us far too soon. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You are not forgotten, not even in California. RIP and watch over our country.

God must of told me to look up to see if any one shared my last name in those who perched that 10 years ago today. Not knowing someone with the exact name, and exact age was one of those. With this I say you will never be forgotten. God bless your family and friends. And we shall meet some day. Debra Ann DiMartino Blottin

Dear Deb
After 9/11 a site distributed POW type bracelets w/ the names of WTC victims. I have yours and have prayed for you every day since then. Know you are in the arms of the angels and hope your family finds peace. RIP. 09/11/11

Deb:

Although I never got to meet you formally in person, I loved talking to you each day when you took my trade orders. You were such a kind, patient, and wonderful person, and I want you to know how much I appreciated that. I think about you often and remember your voice. It makes me incredibly sad that you are gone and that your two beautiful daughters and husband (that you would rave about constantly) lost an incredible person. You are never far from my thoughts and prayers. May you R.I.P.

You will never be forgotten Deb, the memories and laughs we had are etched in my mind, the dinners, trips and family gatherings were always a laugh! The fun we had decorating and picking out furniture and colors was the best. You were a wonderful wife, sister, and friend. You will always be remembered and missed - All of our love and prayers - Jo, Ralph and Lauren xoxoxo

Dear Debbie,

Oh, how I miss you so much! I think about you all the time. I didn’t even know this site existed. You were not only my best friend, but you were a sister to me, always there for me when I needed you. We did everything together: We went through our school years together, married at the same time, and had our children at the same time. I always thought in time we would grow old and leave this world together, but 9/11 took that away from us. We all miss you very much, and each day doesn’t get easier with time. We just learn to deal with it. I love you and miss you and hope to see you again one day. But for now, we will always keep you in our hearts.

As the St. Joseph-St. Thomas Cross-Country team begins its eighth season, my thoughts return to the last practice before our first season. It was the Sunday before we lost Debbie, and we were at Wolfe's Pond Park. Practice was over, but Debbie wanted to practice a little more with her daughters. That is why we still honor her memory with a medal in her name, which is given to the eighth graders leaving the program, so they will remember the team and Debbie. My thoughts are of her each time we begin a new cross-country or track season.

I never knew you but wonder now if we are related. You have many friends and relatives thinking of you often—I just wanted to know that others are thinking and praying that you have peace now, too.

My 6-year-old came across a picture of us in Florida the other day and said, “Who’s this, mommy?” I said, “That’s my good friend, Debbie. She died in the World Trade Center bombing.” He smiled like a 6-year-old would because he really does not understand death. I am like him—I still don’t understand why, and to this day I cry for you. I pulled up your name tonight and don’t understand why nobody writes to you. Am I the only one who thinks of you? Am I the only one who cares or has dreams? And then I thought to myself, “I know your family and friends, and I know they all feel the same, but I’m the one who likes to write it down.” Maybe you don’t hear me, but I know you listen.... Love ya!

Your friend,
Gail

I met you when I was a child. You were a teenager and dating. I never really did get to know you well. The gap in our ages prevented that. I am amazed at the love that has accumulated on these pages. I have read all the words of all the people who truly knew you. God bless you and your grieving family and friends. May you rest in peace.

Hey, Deb,

Just got back from Florida, and on my vacation with my family, I had to remember the time we went! We had a great time, and my pictures do tell! We spent time with your sister and went off to Disney and Daytona Beach. I look back on those days so often, only now they are in pictures and thoughts which I cherish so much! I know you hear me when I talk to you during my busy and hectic days when I just need a friend to listen. You where always good at listening, and that’s what made us such good friends! I miss ya, skinzo!

Lova ya,
Gail

Hey, Di-martin, it's your friend, Gail (Felzak). I just need some time with you! Remember Florida? Lucy didn't think we would last together. She thought we would leave as friends and come back as enemies! We came back as friends! Ha, ha, Lucy! We had cockroaches, and I still have pictures of Disney with you! Boy, we did have fun. You of course looked better in a bathing suit than I would ever have! Skinzo! You are still in my thoughts till this day! Love ya always, Gail.

Where have the days gone, my dear friend? Yes, you are still in my thoughts, and they never stop! I see from the readings that you are still in your children's thoughts also. Girl, you made such an impact on everyone, as I'm sure you know! I talk, I see, I think of you every day, and for that I am thankful to you. I love you always,

Your friend,
g.felzak

Debra Ann DiMartino, a name I will never forget. Having you as an aunt was an honor to me. Although I didn't get to know you that much, there is one memory I cherish that we share. After your Disney cruise with Samantha, Danielle, and Uncle Joey, you stopped by the house before you left on the plane. You showed mom pics of the cruise, and we all had a good time. I believe that was the last time I saw you. Since 9/11 I've learned the meaning of family. It isn't just about sharing blood, it's also about sharing memories and making some on the way. We miss you and love you!

I googled my name, just to see what I would find.... My heart just sank, when I read of your tragic loss and the pain you have endured. I cannot help to notice Debbie has received great love from her friends and family, and they are so proud to have had her in their life. I will include your family in my prayers! God Bless You!

Love,
Deb

Hi Debra (and family and friends of),

I am an amateur photographer in Southern California and I learned of you a short time after 9/11 while visiting NY. I was walking in a small park where I found your picture in an area that was exhibiting a sculpture that survived the collapse of the towers. You were the first face of someone from that day that was in a tower and I have never forgotten you. From the comments I have read while learning of your life, you were truly someone worth knowing. I hope that your soul and the soul of the other fallen are in a good place now, free from a world of hate, pain, and venom towards one another. I know that the heavens will now shine down brighter because of people like you and because of the love for you here on Earth.

Debra Ana... Thank You. I will never forget you.
