I didn't begin blogging until several years after you wrote it, but today (via your own Facebook post) I saw the link and followed through. I'm glad I did. <br />Part of remembering, of never forgetting, is to read, to learn about each person who was killed that day. They were killed by hate but they did not live by hate. Hate must not win. LOVE WINS. <br />Thank you, Carmi, for ensuring that Love Wins.

It was not until after I came home from Iraq, talk to my brother and months later, a dream. A dream that put me on a mission for the pass five years to honor everyone that day, to honor the miitary that died today connect with that day. They are all my heros.

She did light up a room when she was there. She was madly in love with her husband even after all those years. I think of her so often and can't believe she's gone. Since her death I've tried to live my life more the way she lived hers. She is so terribly missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1158368417196944472006-09-15T21:00:00.000-04:002006-09-15T21:00:00.000-04:00I hope you will take the time to read my Tribute t...I hope you will take the time to read my Tribute too, my dear Carmi....I know you are busy...and still, I hope you will take a look...OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1158340412526175582006-09-15T13:13:00.000-04:002006-09-15T13:13:00.000-04:00That was an incredibly moving tribute.

Had been working with her, but first really got to talk to her across a restaurant dinner table amongst a couple dozen folks in Lisbon of all places! I've always remembered two thoughts from that dinner table, that she was very smart and vivacious, showing that BIG smile. All went well together in her.<BR/><BR/>The other image is from today. There is a little garden set aside next to one of the headquarter's buildings of the company where Suzanne worked. I can tell you that this morning, about the time five years of that time passed, a hummingbird was flying there -- it even sat a few moments on a little cluster of rose leaves sipping water there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1158023844377501122006-09-11T21:17:00.000-04:002006-09-11T21:17:00.000-04:00Wonderful Tribute!Thank you.These are heartbreakin...Wonderful Tribute!<BR/>Thank you.<BR/>These are heartbreaking stories and difficult to read....<BR/>I am honored to be a part of this project.<BR/>Mine is posted also...<BR/><BR/>The 2996 link is down.
