I remember what a wonderful mentor and dear friend you were to my sister, Joanne. There is not a day that goes by that she is not missing your presence in her life. You will always have a place in her heart and because of her, I place in my heart always.

Dear Cillo Family
I watched you grow up into a wonderful beautiful woman, with such an infectious laugh and such a beautiful smile. You are missed by so many and we will all never forget you. I think of you often but especially on the day God decided to make you one of his angels, remember with pride our relationship and that I was fortunate to have known you. Although you were not directly related to me, I still consider you family. Miss you always, forever in my heart. Rest in peace sweet Elaine, until we meet again..

For almost 10 years. I have thought about a young woman.
I would pick her up at the 15th ave. bus stop of the 28X.
We had many conversations for a few years. Her name was Elaine. She told me a few times she worked in the upper floors of the WTC. I had been on a different route for a few months. My first day back on the 28X was Monday sept.10th. I picked up Elaine at 15th ave and she greeted me like always, "Jimmy nice to see you". She went to the back because there were no seats up front. I'll never forget her getting off the bus on church street. She rubbed my right forearm and smiled and said she was glad I was back on the 28X. She crossed in front of my bus and waved. I never saw her again. I'm now retired.  I think of this Elaine smiling. I don't even know if this is the one and the same Elaine, but may she and all the victims of 911 rest in Peace.

Don't ask me how I got to this page. I used to live on 13th Ave. I used to hang out with Gary Cillo. I remember Elaine from my childhood, tough as any guy on the the block. She signed my stuffed snoopy dog when we left Brooklyn and the flower shop. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Every year, I can't help think about you on this day - 9/11. I will always remember your smile and laugh from our days at Brown Brothers. Rest in Peace, Elaine.

I am sure that there are no words that can ease the pain you feel on each anniversary of your loss.

God bless you and Elaine

I recently found out that Elaine was one of the victims of this awful tragedy. I was friendly with Elaine and her twin sister, Lynne, in elementary school. Elaine was funny and she was a great person. We lost track of each other but now when I think of her, all I can see is her big smile and I also see in my mind's eye how hard this must have been for Lynne. God be with the family. Elaine's light certainly shines down on them.

My mother's parents were Dan and Ann Cillo from Mendum, NJ. I would like to know if Elaine was family to us. She will be in our prayers on this ninth anniversary of the tragic day.

9/11 will never be forgotten by any of us. On the one-year anniversary I attended a ceremony at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa, where I was a continuing Education student. On the way out the door of the chapel, I reached in a basket and pulled out Elaine's name. The first thing that I noticed was that we were the same age. It made me wonder about her life, so I wrote a college reflection paper on her. We both had witnessed the same historic events in our lifetime. I never knew Elaine, but I believe that I was meant to draw her name out of that basket. I think about her each and every September 11th now. I would love to see those photos of hers published some day. God bless you, Elaine.

To think of Elaine one has to remember her laugh. I grew up with Elaine and her twin Lynne in Brooklyn NY. We attended grammar school together, and even as teenagers we remained friends. She was a person you were drawn to, had a crazy sense of humor and laughed a lot. Even when she burned her hands she found humor in it. I will always remember her coming to my house, both hands wrapped like a mummy, and shooting pool. Her telling the story of how it happened, she found humor in what she did that caused her burns. Elaine had a gift of looking to things in a brighter way. There were times she brought her guitar to my house and would play along with my brother and a friend. She was a huge Jethro Tull fan. Just mention Ian and her eyes lite up, she could talk about the music, or anything that pertained to the group with great energy. If anyone knew Elaine they know how expressive and excited she could be talking about things. That is one quality that I remember the most, her expressive manner. She spoke how she felt. I can remember a time when we went to Dyker Park. The boys played ball on the field, the girls got bored,so a plan was made to play a joke on one of the boys. Am not sure who thought of it, but the girls wrestled one boy to the ground, and I can remember Elaine running with his shoes, laughing. Of course he got them back, but not without a little chase.

As the years passed, our friendship grew apart, but though over the years we lost contact, I still consider her a childhood/teenage friend. Elaine was a warm, caring individual whose laugh and smile were contagious. It is unfair that such a terrible thing happened. My only hope is that she is at peace. May God Bless her and her family. She is smiling down upon them.... :-)

God has her in eternal glory, I knew about Elaine few days ago, And I think she was a real heroine, like all victims.
Maybe she could be a cousin of mine.
