I just found out today that my best friend Yeneneh died on 9/11. I am in the military and I have been deploying everywhere in the world including Iraq. Just few weeks ago, I decided to sign up on Facebook, and today one of my college friends told me about this sad news. Yeneneh and I studied together at Loyola Marymount University. We both had aspirations to go to medical school. We both had a lot in common. I, too, came from another country in Latin America with dreams of becoming a doctor. We understood each other, and we knew that only with perseverance and hard work would our dreams come true. We were like brothers. He was in my wedding party almost 20 years ago. I saw him last in 1993-1994 prior to starting my medical school education, and we unfortunately lost contact. I always wondered about him, and the reason I got onto Facebook was to reconnect with old friends like him. It is very sad that I lost a good friend; he was like a brother.
Yeneneh, it is unfortunate that I won’t be able to share and talk to you about my daughters or tell you a new adventure as a flight surgeon in the Navy, neither to ask you about your accomplishments and adventures. May God give you peace, my friend. I know you are where the angels are, in heaven. May God bless his family.

I don't know who you are, but I'm sorry you're dead.

Yeneneh and my son were students at the Abbey School in Colorado for four years. The both attended Loyola-Marymount University together. He graduated from medical school at the University of Michigan. He and his family were a guests at our home.
Yeneneh was one of those rare boys who saw and planned for his future. He wanted to become a doctor, and he wanted to help his people in Ethiopia. He worked hard and achieved both of these goals.
He was charming, with a wonderful warm smile.
May God bless Yeneneh and his wonderful family

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Yeneneh in 1984. We were both working at Dr. John F. McGonigle's orthopedic office in Santa Monica, California. Although he was an employee for only three months (while he was attending his first year at Loyola Marymount college), he filled our office with warmth and humor! May God continue to bless his family with strength and courage.
Love,

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

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!

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.
