Hallo Sigrid,
Vielleicht kannst du dich an mich erinnern wir waren in Offenbach doch best friends, dann bist du mit deiner Mutter und Schweste nach Texas. Wir hatten noch Briefkontakt und 1989 haben wir uns noch einmal gesehen, du erzähltest mir dass du nach New York City gehen willst.War das dein Schicksal Wir haben dann den Kontakt verloren. Aber vergessen habe ich dich nie. Ich war mir sicher, dass wir uns nocheinmal sehen. Durch Zufall erfuhr ich jetzt, dass du auf so tragische Weise ums Leben gekommen bist, seitdem träume ich jede nacht von dir. Ich hätte noch so viele Fragen an dich. Ich werde versuchen mit deiner Schwester und Familie Kontakt aufzunehmen. Es tut mir so leid, ich werde dich nie vergessen.

[Ed. - Hello, Sigrid. You might be able to bring me back to remembrance. Nevertheless, we were best friends in Offenbach. Then you were in Texas with your mother and sister. We stayed in touch by letter, and in 1989 we saw each other again. You told me that you wanted to go to New York City. Was that your fate? Then we lost contact. But I’ve never forgotten you. I was sure that we’d see each other again. By accident I found out that you died in such a tragic way, since I dream about you every night. I still had so many questions for you. I will try to get in contact with your sister and family. I am so sorry. I will never forget you. —Dagmar Liesenfeld (née Kröhler)]

It is hard to believe that seven years have passed since that awful day—and harder still to believe that I haven't been out for good food and tequila with my gal Siggie in all that time. Sigrid was an inquisitive young soul, kind and loving beyond words (once you pushed past that pseudo-gruff German exterior). She could be tough an nails and coquettish as a flirty nine year old all in the same sentence. And that laugh—big and honest. She was just a great woman, whom I expected to talk to daily for the next fifty years. I will always miss her, but I will always be glad and grateful that I had the chance to really get to know her. And she sure did make the best Christmas cookies!

I am her niece. Sigrid was my aunt, and a second mother to me. I knew her from the day I was born. She was the best. I miss her every day, and even though I was eight when I lost her, when I close my eyes I can still remember her face perfectly. I still remember what her voice sounds like. I will never forget stop loving her.

Sigrid was a great supervisor and friend. She was a strong person who I admired greatly - and still do. When she was relocated to the WTC, she asked me to join her office. I declined because midtown was more convenient. She loved Halloween and dressing up! Sigrid often talked about her little niece, who she adored. I think about Sigrid all the time - sometimes with a smile, sometimes with tears. I'm very grateful to her for always treating me fairly. It was a priviledge to know Sigrid and work with her. I miss her!

I didn't know her for long, perhaps a month or so, but it was long enough to know she was a genuinely good person.
Sigrid made cakes and candles as a little side business. She sent me a sampling of each for my birthday.
She ordinarily didn't go into work until later in the morning, but the week of 9/10/01, she had extra work to do.
No one, least of all Sigrid, could have envisioned what that diligence would bring...
Very sad, yes. But I think at least that she was a happy person then.

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.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.

This web site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows - an oldies music showband performing in Central Florida. The members of the showband feel strongly that there were many heroes manifested during the onslaught of terror associated with 9-11, and present this site as a memorial to those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones they left behind.
24K Gold Music Shows perform primarily 50-60s Oldies, Elvis songs, DooWop, and older country music, as well as patriotic songs. All of the musicians, singers, dancers, and staff of the 24K Gold Music Shows extend their deepest sympathies to every one who lost loved ones on that terrible day.
24K Gold Music Shows performs an original song called "The Day America Cried", which is a 9-11 tribute song. In the live shows, they honor with the song not only the heroes of 9-11 but also those who are still alive: the police personnel, firefighters, emergency personnel, soldiers, and others who have served our country and kept us all safe.
Listen also to this beautiful, touching song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by 24K Gold Music Shows. Even though strictly speaking it's not a 9-11 memorial song, I still feel it is a very fitting song for the occasion!
