Jeanmarie Wallendorf,
Yesterday, September 11, 2011 I met you for the first time. I attended the San Francisico Giants game with some friends and when we entered the ballpark, we were given a card that had the American Flag on one side and printed on the other side was a Rememberance of 9/11 that said, " WE WILL NEVER FORGET" the name printed on this card is one of the many who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We ask that you please keep this card and hold it up during the pre-game ceremony, during the game and when asked, and again during the 7th Inning Stretch with the singing of God Bless America to remember and honor those that lost their lives 10 years ago today. Jeanmarie Wallendorf, I received the card with your name. I pray for you, your family and America. San Francisco Giants organization gave a beautiful and tearful tribute ceremony to all of the fallen on that tragic day 10 years ago. "I WILL NEVER FORGET".

I will never ever forget watching Jaime grow into a perfect daughter, honor role student, I was so proud of her and will never forget her or her beautiful smile...

She was 14K gold inside and out, and her spirit will live on forever as a angel

Miss you
Jaime

My dearest Jaime,

I have always loved it when I knew spring was near, as Summer would soon follow. But now, as this time of the year arrives, the only thing I can think of is that your birthday is also coming in August, and this will be another year you will not be here with us. It tears me apart each time. I love you more than anything.

To all of the victims of 9/11/01:

Well, what can I say about Jeanmarie Wallendorf? There's a lot that I can say about her, but I'll tell you one thing for sure: She was the best cousin you could have asked for, and that is a pretty strong choice of words. She was always loving to everyone she met. She was one of those people who were your role models, and she will never be forgotten in this family.

To everyone who lost someone in the terrorist attacks on the country:

We feel your pain. Everyone in my family feels your pain, and you have to feel pain to move on.

I never met Jean Marie "Jamie", but learned about what a wonderful young woman she was. Christine, every year my heart goes out to you.

I dedicate this to my daughter Jeanmarie and to all the parents of 911 who know this pain.
A million times I've missed you, a million times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
To some you are forgetton, to others just part of the past; but to me who loved and lost you, your love will always last. It broke my heart to lose you, you didn't go alone; for my life went with you -sweetheart- the day God called you home. Love Mom

Jaime,
In 15 minutes it will be midnight. Another 9-11 anniversary coming. The past 9 years have been so incredibly hard. I can't believe it's been 9 years already. It seems like yesterday. Only, the pain is worse. Time was supposed to "make it all better". It hasn't. Every day, month, year just means that many more since you've been gone. I miss you so much. The laughter, the tears, the good times, the bad... ALL of it. I think of our favorite vacation.... St Augustine beach house.... OH! The stories that developed from the many road trips there! I think of how we held each other through heartache and loved each other through smiles. You were and ALWAYS will be my best friend! (The adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin had NOTHING on us!) I remember everything. The last movie we watched together. The shopping trips to Sephora. The nights bummin around our apartment doing toe nail polishes and facials. Coney Island adventures. Lazy days at the beach. Getting dolled up and hittin the city. We sure did make a great team kiddo. I think of all the dreams we had... ones that we never got to share. I have a son now. And Kaila is growing into a beautiful young lady. You would be so proud of her. I married my first love this year!:-) YEP! I got him back! Remember how we talked about him?? lol. IT FINALLY CAME TRUE! (Did you have something to do with it?:-)...maybe you have some extra pull in Heaven now?)... I know you are there. I know I will see you again. Somehow, that is a comfort but still not enough to take the pain away. I bet heaven is pretty unbelievable right?
It is now 12:01. September 11, 2010. I promise you I will never forget. NEVER. I love you.
Liss

Jaime,

It was a little over eight years ago when we met at the 31 Rockwells Bar and Lounge club in Brooklyn, but like two passing ships in the night, the fickle finger of fate and circumstance kept us from docking.

I remember that night as if it were last weekend: The dusk surrendered to a full moon and twinkling stars. You were there with your girls. I was there celebrating my best friend's recent dwarf tossing competition win. Sometime around 2AM, after we had been dancing and conversing quite a bit, the bizarre altercation between me and the freakish-looking dude with the extra earlobe who kept approaching you in a rude manner broke out. It was wild—I had the dude tied up like a pretzel with his sock stuffed in his mouth before tossing him like a rag doll through the glass door taking with him the bouncer, lol. Before I knew it I was in the back seat of a police car watching you—someone who barely knew me—plead my case as if we had been close friends forever. That was just the kind of person you were.

With every passing minute in that car I felt my chance with you dying like a fading candle. And if it hadn't been for you, I would've been stuck in a cell for the remainder of the weekend at the least. Before we departed that night, you squeezed my hand as you revealed to me your promise to another, and with your eyes a deeper pain. I watched as a tear slowly rolled down your right cheek. At that moment I intuited something so alive in you, how truly special you were—the real thing. Someone who possessed a quality of genuineness and purity of heart that we all spend a lifetime searching for in another.

I can't even begin to describe the overwhelming feeling I had when I came across the poster with your lovely face on it in the days following those diabolical attacks. I was torn up from the inside out, yet I realized how incredibly fortunate I was to have shared at least that brief and very special moment in time with you.

Jaime,

I hope they have Internet up above in heaven because I hope you read this. I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you. My childhood memories have you in them. From about the time I was 11 or 12, and you were 13 or 14, we met and hit it off right away at Martha's pool in Staten Island. We've been friends ever since, and as we grew up together when you were living in Brooklyn, we grew closer and closer. I remember taking the M train home one day, and you were on it, and you were telling me about this new job you got in the World Trade Center. I was so happy for you because you seemed so excited. That is the last memory I have of you. You were the most beautiful girl, and I love and miss your smile. I will always have you in my thoughts, and I will never forget you, Jaime. Rest in peace. You will be in my heart forever.

Happy birthday, my dear Jeanmarie.

*** Posted by Christine Barton on 2009-08-07 ***

Today is August 1st, and in 6 more days my girl will be 31, and I sit and wonder all the time, "What would she be like? What would she be doing? Would she have children?" The only thing I do know for a fact is that SHE IS NOT HERE! And that makes me angry! And it hurts more than anyone could ever know. I miss Jaime so much, and when I think of what we as victims have missed out on, it all seems so pointless. Why in the world would anyone want to pick on the innocent? All of these persons were not the target, so WHY? I love you, Jaime, and I cannot express my feelings to all of you much more, as I know you cannot understand the loss of a child unless you have gone through it, and I know Dolores LaVerde—Jeannine LaVerde's mother—knows this all too well. I think of her as I think of Jaime and all victims each day. Can you all see it as I think each day? Can you see the pain? The hurt? The sadness? I am sure it shows, and all I really want to say now is REST IN PEACE. we will always remember you all.

*** Posted by Christine Barton on 2009-08-03 ***

Dear Jean Marie,
I pray for you, Jeannine and all the victims every day, and will continue to do until the day we meet again. I hope you are enjoying every happiness in Heaven. We miss all of you. Life is not the same here on this earth without you.
Love,
Dolores

On Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, I was watching "Good Morning, America" and they came on to say that Tower 1 had been hit by a plane.  I was still watching as the 2nd plane hit Tower 2, which was the Tower my 2nd cousin Jaime was in. I called her mom, Christine Barton, and asked if anyone was in the Towers in our family. That's when she told me that Jaime was in there, and she had talked to Jaime when the first plane struck Tower 1. My head started spinning, and I had so many thoughts in my head, but you try to think positive--until the towers fell, and days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and months turned into years.  Jaime will be missed by ALL of her family. I will NEVER FORGET, and I hope that no one else does, either. NEVER SURRENDER! R.I.P. I LOVE YOU, JAIME! xxxxoooo

I was driving up I-75 from Chattanooga, TN last Saturday and saw a black SUV with Georgia tags and noticed something on the rear window. Something in writing. It was a memorial to Jean Marie, a victim of 911. I was saddened thinking she would be 30 soon. Never had the chance to experience more things in life. But it was nice to see her life meant something to someone. To many someones, I’m sure. God rest your soul, Jean Marie, and comfort those who loved you.

The sound of holding on - almost a whisper
The sigh of broken hearts - a quiet cry
The rain upon your face
Brings gravity and grace
And softly you begin to breathe again

I don't have all the answers to your sad prayers
But if I could, I'd give you angel's wings
To go where hope is found
With strength to reach beyond
And carries like a song upon the wind

Please don't give up
Please don't you give up
Cuz I believe
Yes, I believe
I still believe

The sound of holding on - almost a whisper
The sigh of broken hearts - a quiet cry
The rain upon your face
Brings gravity and grace
And softly you begin to breath again

Love,
Mom
