Ten years have gone by but the memory of your smile and fun disposition remains embbed in my mind. You were a co-worker and friend @ Bankers Trust Co. You are missed but not forgotten nor will in my life time.

It saddens me greatly to think of Steve as gone. I really only just found out he was among the vitims of 9-11. All these years gone by, and Yet I can not fully take in the loss. Steve, I knew you from Raritan, you where a really good guy. You used to make me laugh.
you where such a sweet and caring man. I pray for your family. I hope to see you someday.
Sincerely,
Donna (Maisnik) Symons

Hi,I dont really know how to start this, but here goes.
I do not know any one who passed in the tragedy, however, I have had a connection, a spiritual connection, if you will, and I feel like I have finally come to perhaps understand that someone is trying to contact me. And it is Steve. I know him by Steve B.
I have NEVER had anything like this happen to me. Or do I fully understand it. I was very skeptical at first, but now, things are so clear, I felt I should say something. I have always had unexplainable things happen to me, but not to this degree.
Steve has been trying to contact his wife and children. I do know that he wants to tell then how much he loves them and was so sad he couldnt say good bye. But I dont know if that is all.
It has been very worrying for me, I have never understood my pull to 911. It has been haunting me for 10 years now,in a vairety of ways and the energy is the strongest it has ever been.
If you would like to contact me I would be happy to talk to the family and tell you what I know, which is not much but it may help them realize that he is still with them. He has been trying to get me to find you for 10 years now, and I finally heard his voice loud and clear...it wouldnt stop once I heard him.
Im sorry if this seems strange, I dont know what to make of it. But I wanted to do as he wished and try and convey his message to the family. Please feel free to email me.

Be well,
Sincerely,

Alison

I can't believe it's been 9 years since that sad sad day... I remember you Steven, each year, and light a candle for you and pray for your family... I can remember clear as day going to see your play when you were in preschool... you were the troll under the bridge! And acted the part... "Who's that tripping and trapping over my bridge?!" Have such great memories that my Mom and I remember together :-) Sitting in boring science class in HS... You sitting behind me playing with my hair! lol and shaking my desk with your foot almost putting me to sleep! lol... wish I knew your wife and children... bet they are very special! Thinking about you makes me smile :-)

Dear Stevie,

It's been seven years since we lost you. It baffles my mind that it's been that long. It feels like yesterday. I often think about the last time I saw you. It was at my favorite beach in Sea Bright. I remember watching you and Dad laughing together. I remember pushing Lucy on the swing while Brian spotted Wyatt on the monkey bars. It was a good day. Everyone was happy, and that’s the way I remember you. The uncle who told me how proud he was of me as a kid. The father who loved those twins more than anything in the world. The brother who always brought a smile to his brother’s or sister’s face on a bad day. You live on in the hearts of everyone who loved you ... who continue to love you. Lucy and Wyatt WILL grow up knowing what a special man their father was. I love you, today, tomorrow, and always.

Daddy,

I miss you every day and have the worst feelings that you will never come back. You were my dad, a special part of my life. I think about you every day. You give me strength every day. I know you're watching over me. I love you and all the wishes to your unforgettable, tragic loss. I love you.

Brother,

I apologize for not writing sooner. To this day it is just too upsetting to write about the unspeakable. Not a day goes by without a reminder of you. A picture, joke, an impression, a song. To see the kids (Wyatt is the image of you) at LBI brings such great memories of childhood. Life was once very sweet.

Joanna saw a triple rainbow yesterday (9/11), and believes you were saying "Hello". I hope so.

I miss your singular face every day, Steve. Peace.

Steven was my younger brother. We shared a room together growing up from the time he was born until I was a teen. Later on when I lived in Manhattan he was always there. We were the best of friends and we did so much together. Our mother passed away on Sept 30, 2000. My last conversation with Steven was about what we should do to honor the first anniversary of her death. But before we even got to that date... he was gone as well. It was difficult to accept and six years later it is still hard to believe.

Steven had the biggest heart of anyone I will ever know. He had a tremendous capacity to love, and his love has been difficult to lose. He was really funny and would call me up with jokes and do imitations that cracked me up every day. I think I miss that the most. He helped me laugh at myself all the time. Life became much more serious after Sept 11th 2001... and it will never be the same for me again.

This year on the sixth anniversary... the world seems ready to let go of what happened on 9-11-01 and not focus on the anniversary as in years past. But those of us who knew Steven and loved him or any of the other nearly 3,000 victims will never let it go and we will never forget it as long as we live!

We continue to love you as if you were still here with us Steven. Six years have passed and we miss you more than ever. You remain with me always.

I loved my daddy so much. He was a wonderful man. He was a outstanding man. He was a goofball, too. I loved him so much!

Love,
Lucy

Steve was a wonderful man. He was a great friend and a good person. I worked with Steve for a number of years and our friendship was truly a sustaining force for me during a difficult time in my life. Five years later and I still can see his smile. He is not forgotten..
