There is a special love that is for you and you alone.
There is a place within my heart that only you own.
As time goes by without you and the days turn into years,
they hold a million memories and a thousand silent tears.
You were always so very special, and your memory I treasure.
I wish with all my heart that you were here today.

Time goes by so fast, and there is never a moment when you are not missed. I shed tears of sorrow for your absence. You are always in my heart.

Love you forever,
Mom

Dome...

This is the eighth Christmas and Hanukkah that you are not here. Where has the time gone?! You brought not only pride, smiles, and laughter, but also warmth and caring to the lives you touched, and an ever deepening happiness to the hearts of everyone lucky enough to have been part of your life. My love for you is everlasting. I miss you more than words can say.

9/11/07 - Can you believe that today is the day, 6 years ago, that Dominique was taken from me. Today is the day, 6 years ago, that my life would change forever. Today is the day, 6 years ago, that my heart broke in two. Today is the day, 6 years later that your presence is forever missed by those who loved you and knew you.

You were a special child, a beautiful young lady and in death bigger than life. The pain of you being gone is unbearable. Time doesn't heal....it only makes my loss more real.

I am saddened that, as a distant relative, I didn't have the opportunity to know Dominique better.  I knew her more as a young girl than as a mature young woman, but my memories are very warm and fond.  I am emensely moved by the comments of her friends and fellow workers, whose praises and rememberances are so vivid and descriptive that they assure the continuing memory of an individual who truly did bring joy to the lives of the people who knew her.  Dominique, we love you.

Dominique was a good friend to me in middle school and through high school years.  I remember how we used to crack up and dream of meeting Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi!  We had pictures of them all over our rooms. Nique even had pictures on her bedroom ceiling!  (That made me jealous because my mother didn't let me do that!) Dominiqemade you laugh at the silliest things, but at the same time she can speak so intellectually about our careers and our lives.  She had a brilliant mind.  We were both teachers at one point in our lives.  I stopped for a while to have a family and Nique stopped because she was a bit worn out from it.  In my opinion, I don't think it was challenging enough for her.  Dominique was so bright and I believe she needed another outlet to express her abilities.  Teaching was a challenge, but not in the way she wanted to be challenged.  I admire Dominique's perseverance to go after a career that was meant for her.  She achieved that goal, but unfortunately she was taken too soon from us.  I miss her often as do the rest of my friends who knew and grew up with her.  I will always have fond memories of the good times we had, especially when we were younger.  I'll always regret not getting together more often after we graduated high school and college.  I pray that her mother and other family members have found some peace in their lives.  You will always be in my heart Nique. It's just nice to know that I have you as a guardian angel looking down on me. I miss you!  Love, Sandy

Dominique has left behind so many friends and loved ones that have carried on her stories and even sometimes her mannerisms.  When I am with her old roommate I see similar hand gestures or hear expressions that Dome would have said; when I am with her boyfriend I can recall so many of the great times we all had going out together on double dates; and when I am with her mom I can feel her presence in the room.  There is no way to ever describe what kind of person Dome was to those that didn't know her.  It is hard to imagine that one person could have offered so much life and added so  much excitement  to those around her.  All I can say is that I was so fortunate to have had a friend that I could talk to seriously, cry with, and then crack up laughing with a second later. 
As time goes by we all heal a little.  I have learned to appreciate the moments in which I sit back and think of her.  While these moments are often sad since I look back on them alone, they still make me smile--I will cherish them always.

Two very long years have gone by- difficult to still comprehend. Dominique lived more in her 27 years than many people do who live to be elderly. She was an amazing young woman who was goofy when the time was appropriate and mature beyond her years at others. She was a loyal friend, an adoring daughter and a loving girl friend. She was bright and articulate with a zest for all that life had to offer. I felt a unique closeness to her, often advocating to her mother on Dominque's behalf when she was seeking independence. At other times I would completely side with her mother and help to explain to Dominique where her mother was "coming from". She was a success at everything she attempted and I thought from the very minute that the planes hit the towers that if anyone could get out, it would be Dominique. Well fate had other plans and the world has indeed lost a most precious individual and none of us who knew and loved Dominique will ever be the same.
