Marlyn Garcia Obituary
When Marlyn del Carmen Garcia was 14 years old, a guy in the neighborhood offered her a marijuana cigarette. She was probably no taller than 5-foot-2. He towered over her. But Marlyn Garcia was not one to be cowed. "She smacked the guy," her elder sister Ingrid recalled. "She was like, 'This is how you say no to drugs.' "
Ms. Garcia, 21, was regarded as the most brainy, responsible and big-mouthed of the three Garcia girls. She graduated three years ago as the valedictorian of her class at the Bay Ridge Christian Academy and was offered a scholarship to Syracuse University ‹ but she turned it down to be close to the family. She enrolled instead at John Jay College. Every morning, she arrived at work at the 101st-floor offices of Marsh & McLennan a half-hour early, so she could leave in time for school.
"I'm 33," Ingrid said, "and if she said, 'Sit,' I would sit."
Ms. Garcia aspired to travel, to be an advocate for those who could not speak for themselves, to work for the United Nations someday. "She was a little girl who was very powerful, very determined," Ingrid said. "We used to call her an old woman trapped in a little girl's body."

Hi Marlyn,
I always see your picture in my photos on September 10th, just the day before I post your picture in remembrance of 9/11. The first thing that always hits me is that beautiful smile of yours. Keep smiling in your heavenly journey love! I know you are soaring! God bless you always!

Not a day,month,year that goes by in which this gets easier for us here without you.
We will always miss you, love you and adore your smile. I know each year you’re listening to me tell more and more people about you, simply because I am honored and proud to have known you.
May the lord hold you with the gentleness you deserve, and may we all find peace within our hearts, each and every time we think of you.
Always loving you and always thinking about your laughter my sweet Angel, rest easy.

Wow today you would've been celebrating your birthday with your love ones. You were taking from your family to young. Time has gone by so fast if there was a time machine to stop that horrific day. You would be celebrating with your love ones. But know you are next to our heavenly father and celebrating your birthday with him. You will never be forgotten.

Hey young Queen!! It has been soooo long and so much has changed. I wonder how you would have changed the world and how you would have been changed by the world. Marlyn it’s crazy out here but God is good and I know you’re in his loving embrace. With my mother passing last year I know you guys are together. The love we shared will never die but has transformed into a butterfly of endless beauty. I wish I was in contact with your family but as sometimes in life we tend to fall off the map. I pray for them and ask that God will keep them always. Happy Born day queen.

Hey Marlyn, if I only had a time machine. So much has changed and so much has not. I wish at the age of 44 myself I could speak with you and talk about where life has brought us to. I love you and that will never change. I pray for your family and hope to see you again when God deems it. This work was too small for you rest in love queen.

I never met you, but I met your parents on September 12, 2001. I was a Dutch journalist working for a newspaper in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. I somehow found myself on the morning of 9/12/2001 in Greenwich Village outside of the New School, where family and friends were gathered, trying to find out what had happened to their loved ones.
I met this striking couple, clutching a large photograph of a smiling beautiful young woman. I’ll never forget them, your lovely face and what they told me about you. How you had never been away from home and had just graduated that year and started your job. They said you were always a very responsible young woman, which meant that you had left home early the day before, so you could vote in the primary and be in your office in time for work. They were frantic with worry and fear and expressed the hope that by talking to me, a journalist, somehow news about what had happed to you would reach back to them. How I wish that could have happened. They made such a deep impression on me.
Each year I hear your name read out loud during the Memorial Ceremony and I think of them and their great loss. I just heard your name again today, during the 20th Memorial Service. I somehow found this site and wanted to leave my memories of you which I received from your beautiful parents. I wish them and the rest of your family continued great strength to live their lives without you.

18 years of Angel hood and you are still one of the brightest lights that ever entered my life . it will never get easier and I will never be able to focus on this day in history but I want you to know that no matter what happens in life and no matter how much time passes or how many times the names are read out loud I will always take a moment as I often do throughout the year to reflect on who you were and to let as many people as possible know Just how important of a person you were in the many lives that you touched .today I cannot find the energy to smile or laugh I will just wait for the clock to run out of time so that I can exhale tomorrow..... always missing you and always stopping at your memorial to share my love with you .
Until we meet again keep watching over us and keep our days shining bright with your glorious smile and I am sure I speak for Many when I say I love you and I cant wait to hold you again , until we meet at the pearly gates my sweet angel.

Remembering Marlyn always.
Such smart girl, a bright future ahead of her, but your life was like a estrella fugaz (meteor shower) it shines so bright lasting just a few seconds. We have a saying: "when you see a estrella fugaz, make a wish" Lucky of those who witness such marvel of nature. And I was lucky to have met Marlyn.

I somehow ended up in lower Manhattan 3 days ago sept 15th ... i was with my family and I'm sure you noticed and you felt the warmth from my tears .... I wasn't supposed to go down there but somehow that happened .. you always had a way of making me do what you wanted lol always in control !! Lol I just wanted to tell you that my little girl is old enough to know and ask , she was touching your name so curiously and I felt it was the perfect time to tell her just what a magnificently strong person you had been in my life , she now knows what a real standup strong woman looks like and I'm proud to visit you with my family , god bless your perfect soul my dear , till we meet again.

17 years like 17 minutes , today I was able to smile when I thought of your smile this morning , avoiding media and radio to reflect on life and what you meant to so many ..... I know an angel , I know she's watching over us each and every day , I take comfort in feeling you with me at all times , I take a blessed approach during hard times when I ask myself what would Marlyn do ?? And I take pride in knowing that your one of the strongest people I may have ever known ... and your in the graces of the mighty lord now .... stronger than ever and protecting us with your undying love .... I'm crying as I type this but I am at peace because I know someday you will hug me again .
Your the greatest gift to heaven ever , and you will always have the smile of my lifetime , keep visiting me in my dreams and guide me along the way.
Till we meet again , Love always .... forever ... and rest Angelically Marlyn .
Love always and forever , ed

Manita, it's surreal that 17 years have passed. Can you believe that Daniel is turning 13 & going to HS next year & Ava is such a silly cookie doing amazing in the 2nd grade. Plus not to mention Bethanie twins Marlyn & MiaLynn and Tania's cookie pie Delila. Time and distance doesn't make things easier, it makes us all miss you more, God knows I do. I've been through a lot of hard times and I've prayed and talked to you knowing that had you been here things would've been so different in all our lives. It's selfish of me to wish I could give anything for you to be here but it was even more selfish for you to be taken from us all. I love you miss you today and always. Until we meet again Manita ❤

Marlyn,
I didn't find out about your passing till weeks later. I didn't get to attend your memorial and that hurt dearly but you are always in my thoughts. 15 years but it feels like yesterday. You had a big heart and that is what I remember most about you. As I read all of the beautiful messages on this site, I realize how loved you are. It makes me happy to know you are being honored and never forgotten. To your family and mother. Please accept my sincerest condolences. She is a powerful soul that has an impact on many. May your journey be wonderful Marlyn. With love, God bless you. I will never forget and I will always honor you.

Wow 15years have past since that horrible day.I don't forget where I was how I felt. Knowing that all those angel wouldn't be coming home to their love ones. When I heard that you were in the North Tower. My heart broke because maybe just maybe you weren't in their and you ere hurt somwhere then reality set in you were gone. You had become an angel. I could imagine how your mom and dad and family were feeling. Knowing you wouldn't come home thhat night. Know that I am a mom I could imagine your mom everytime on this day. How hurt empty and scared your mom was. Still I say your her angel and your family and friends who miss you so much. May you RIP and may your love ones never forget your laugther and kindness.

14 years and the world is still a bit gloomy without your laughter ... I miss you so much that I still cry when I have our memories pass by in my mind, I want to thank you for helping me make the journey to your final resting place.... For those who don't know the story ... I finally went to say goodbye and in this packed memorial a little row of people parted and as I approached the wall of names it was the purest silence I had ever known ... I looked down and her name was right in front of me... I cried like a child while my family hugged me I will never forget you , and I will always love you for everything you meant to me and so many others.
Rest in absolute peace my dearest marlyn.
Love always , Edwin l roman

Just want to take the time out to remember all the lives taken on 9/11/01. I wanted to see a better view of what was going on that day right before my eyes.. So I decided to get on my roof. Where I had a perfect view of The Twin Tower's. All I could see was clouds of black smoke overcoming that beautiful morning. When moments later I saw the South tower get hit by yet another plane. I dropped on the floor and just cried. Then yelled how could something like this have happened to NYC. My city my sweet city.. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost a friend a mother a father a sister a brother an aunt an uncle a grandmother a grandfather a cousin a bestfriend a wife a husband an acquaintance.. I had a dear friend that died on that tragic day. Marlyn Del Carmen Garcia.. An inspiration to many young girls a role model a sister a daughter a friend a beautiful heart.. Marlyn it's been a long 12years.. I still Miss you. I had the opportunity of knowing you since or grade school days At Bay Ridge Christian Academy. For that I am forever thankful.. Your memory will live on forever. I'm blessed to have had you not just as my friend but as my sister in christ. I am oh so thankful for that visit in my dreams. It really keeps a smile on my face. Too know you payed me a surprising visit just seeing your smile and to have given you a hug. I will cherish that shared moment forevermore .. Rest my beautiful angel. Til we meet again. Oxxo Gone but never ever forgotten ..

9/11 memories
I will never forget that morning, it was like the city was overtaken by a fear that spun a fast web that slowly twirled us around in pain and a very strong sense of disbelief .
Honey the twin towers have fallen my wife says to me ! And I never took a deeper swallow and the phone in my hand never felt colder as I left my job to walk the sidewalk that I now feared trying to get home .
Tv channels made it all too real to me as my VCR recorded tape after tape making the proofs of this nations pain and my own past that I ponder whether or not to someday show my kids or grandchildren.
Sometime that day I recalled my little daughter so innocent as a baby could be, playing with her toys , safe from all that's happened this day, I whispered under my breath , someday my little girl I will tell you about today and it will just be a history lessons homework.!
Till this present day I feel that numbness when I think of september 11th and how I felt for those lost and their families and how I still picture endless firefighters and rescue workers working with white faces of dust and dirt and how they all had the towers symbolicly drawn down there faces by two tears that Made a line down each cheek.
Many years have passed and I am still remembering asking why now, why us and mostly when is it ok for life to continue ?. I miss those towers and I miss the tranquility of my soul before this happened , before my city cried and seemed empty as the storm drains overflowed with tears and the sun took hours to come down as my tv put me to sleep showing ground zero footage to the heart wrenching chorus " in the arms of an angel.
The days that followed dropped away far from my minds clock never to return in emotion or memory as families and friends connected endlessly the lost relatives and friends. tears and crying out would become the hearts food for weeks to come as the nights seemed to last forever in lower manhattan as we waited aimless and tired waiting for a single rescue but that rescue never happened , the rescue of our souls also never happened.
My last memory was that of me thinking how I didn't know anybody who died that day , but a month later I realized I was wrong I did lose a great friend and this writing is dedicated to the life , spirit and memory of marlyn carmen Garcia may you live on as gracefully in heaven as you do in our hearts.
Sleep well we miss you.

I do not believe in past lives but sometimes one meets children that are old souls. They walk in a wisdom beyond the lessons their peers are learning and command an awareness of this life that loudly tells you that the child in front of you is not what you see.
Marlyn was such a child. She was a student in my 5th grade class then 7th grade class. Shortly after 9/11 I was musing through my files and I came across old plan and grading books. There in my handwriting I could see her grades, 100's 99's and 105's. Apparently Marlyn could not resist extra credit. I had forgotten her academic brilliance. Marlyn was kind and loving and just did what she needed to do. I recall her smile, and the compassion she presented when helping her peers.
She loved freely, smiled readily, and lived in the present. I feel privileged to have known her. I will lament her loss forever though perhaps because she lived in the present and lived every moment well she has lived more than many will ever do.

hey marlyn , i want you to know that i was lucky enough to be able to tell my 11 year old daughter all about how wonderful of a friend you had been to me and how amazing you had been to soooo many others that had been fortunate enough to have been blessed with your special love and friendship, she now knows of someone that rose to heaven that day and i for one am proud to have held you in my arms the day before you left us.
loving you always and missing you more each day that passes

Marlyn me acuerdo cuando te conoci en los premios Ace en new York vestias un traje marron margarita nos presento y me dijistes q trabajabas en las torres gemelas en el piso 101 y nunca olvidare cuando te dije wow ..trabajar en un piso tan alto es como tocar el cielo.. y me dijistes q si..q cuando los dias estaban soleados podias ver la statua d la libertad..y cuando estaba lloviendo se veian solamente las nubes..te dije q me gustaria trabajar alli y me contestaste q me avisarias si habia una position disponible..eras muy inteligente y madura para tu edad con un character muy lindo..q dios te tenga en su santa gloria y desde la eternidad envies Luz a la tierra para q la paz prevalezca sobre la maldad..

Hey Marlyn I know you are in heaven with all the other angels of 9/11. Its been 10 years and time has gone by so fast. I hope we all dont forget that horrific day. That we learn how to cherish our freedom and live in peace and harmony. I will never forget how people who dont now the meaning of life and freedom can destroy so many lives. But we are Americans and they try to knock us down but we come back stronger and better. May GOD have you protected and loved. 9/11 will never be forgoten. GOD BLESS AMERICA
