As I sit here watching the History channel ... watching the 9/11 archives, crying like it's nine years ago, I will never, ever forget the tragedy we witnessed that day.... I miss you so much, Michelle. I am one of the lucky few that were with you on September 9th, 2001.

Do you remember how upset I was that I'd wasted all of my vacation/sick days due to my appendectomy? You had my visitor's pass all ready to go ... but there must have been a reason why I was able to catch the last stand-by seat out on the last flight out of Newark that Sunday — the next empty seat was Wednesday, so I was almost with you, anyway. Deep within my heart I wish I were with you — and hopefully afraid enough to not let you go back up those stairs. It was planned for weeks for us to be together that week, but for some reason my fate was different from yours. We used to page each other daily, and even if you were in a meeting, you would tell me so. You always responded to me, but on that Tuesday, when I called out to you over and over with no reply, I cried uncontrollably in my cube — and the towers were still standing then. When the towers fell and broke ... my heart broke, and I wished so badly that you got out. Fast forward nine years, and it still doesn't seem real to me. Sometimes I look at my phone hoping you would just text me....

You have touched so many lives — your family and friends miss you so much. Ever since you saved my life from choking when I was nine, I've always felt indebted to you. If you weren't there to babysit me that day, I would not be here today. The correlation of us planning to be together that week is mind-numbing to me — maybe that was my chance to pay you back? I'm sorry that I wasn't there to pay you back.

I will never forget you, and you will always be in my mind and heart. In fact, you might be surprised about how much I actually think about you.... When I was in Jersey and we were getting ready to go to Rodney's house, I had to iron my clothes first. You thought I was doing it wrong, so you taught me a better way to iron my clothes. I iron my clothes every day before work, and I think about you almost every single time.

I love you, cousin, and I miss you so much!

You came to my mind this July 4th, 2010.... I miss you terribly and wish the best for your family. I read the other posts and saw that you wanted to go to Vegas! Well, I'm living here, so I'll do something special in your honor. I'll always cherish the good times we had in Texas! You are dearly missed and loved by this one....

Aunt Michell,

You were great to have as an Aunt, and I'm glad y'all lived down the street from us when I was a kid. I've seen pictures of Alex, and she looks just like you. She is turning into a beautiful young lady. Miss you.

I'll always remember you, Michell, and I'll never forget about you, and we miss you a lot. I love you.

Michelle,

I remember talking in my living room about what we wanted to do after high school. You wanted to go to Vegas, remember? My brother, Rich, misses you terribly. You were always such a good friend of his. I remember borrowing your black poncho (must admit, it looked MUCH better on you-lol). You were so full of life; I just can't believe you're gone. It's been over 5 years now and the wound is still so fresh. I know that you are with God because I know you were spiritual. I miss you.

See you in Heaven,
Lesa Treuden

Michell,
I miss you so much, it hurts so much just to see you as one of the victims.  On 9/11, I prayed that you would found, and would be ok, but that was not to be.  I know you are in heaven and grandma is with you now.
I carry the picture that was laminated from the funeral in my purse, and I will never ever stop loving you.  I am so glad that you stayed at my house in June of 2001.  You were the first one to sleep in that new twin bed.
I will keep the bed forever because it means so much to me knowing that you slept in it. You were a very special niece!  I will remember you always with a lot of love.  Your daughter looks just like you and she is as beautiful as you were.  God bless you my dear.  Love, Aunt Mary

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.
