I was a co-worker, friend, and a roommate of Deb's. We had been out of touch for years and I couldn't understand why I couldn't find her on Facebook. I just recently learned that she was on Flight 175. In one instant I went from the pleasure of reconnecting with a mutual friend to shock and horror of learning of Deb's fate. She will never be forgotten as a good friend.

Every 9/11, I remember as my co workers from NSTAR put out the flowers on your bench and pay tribute to you. May we all meet again in the future.

Deb, I can still see your face and hear your voice. Your many friends at NSTAR will never forget you - you are often in our thoughts and always in our prayers.

I've been thinking about Debbie a lot these last few days. We were good friends in high school, and after college, when we all lived in different cities, several of us would get together for lunch whenever we were in Cleveland together. The last time I saw Debbie was 1998 or 99, and she was just as hilarious and bright and fun as ever. We miss you, Deb!

You're still very much in my thoughts today. Your family are all in my prayers. There are no words for me to express my feelings from that tragic day and the first phone call I had at home from our coworkers telling me that you were in that plane. We shared the same first name and spelling - "De-Bo-Rah", and we always called each other that whenever we spoke on the phone (at NSTAR)!! You were a lovely, gentle and kind soul who will fondly be remembered and never forgotten. I went to the family viewing area at the World Trade Center and touched your name on the wall. I'll never forget that sight as long as I live. May God bless your family and give them peace in knowing that you are at home with him until you meet each other again.

Deb,
I still remember you in my heart and prayers and still think of our interactions as co-workers at NSTAR. While time passes our memories of those we touch does not.
God Bless you and I hope that your Daughter and husband are doing well.

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

If I were to write you a letter, today, I would have to begin with "I miss you, so much", the same way our phone calls went for the 18 years between when we first met and the time you left us all. Then, I would remind you of the fun times we shared, the "Best Friend" status we enjoyed for all those years, and we would promise to get together soon. I wish I could have seen you the summer of 2001 as we talked about. Still, no matter how long between visits, and it's still true today, we will always be Best Friends...and we will see one another again. Though there may be space between dates on a calendar, there will NEVER be space between you and me or our friendship. Then, I would end the letter telling you I send hugs for your family and hope your mom and dad are doing well. The one thing this letter will NEVER do, is to say goodbye, only "Love you, take care and I'll see you later"

“A fathers Tears”- Continued
It’s almost a year since you have been taken from us. A year filled with never-ending tears; both types, good and bad. Joyful ones with memories of you as an infant sleeping on my chest with me holding onto you tightly. Watching intently your childhood games, like hula-hoops and bicycle rides. Watching you proudly throughout your school years and then, suddenly, it seems into adulthood and motherhood.
There is a tremendous void in our hearts that will never be filled. Your loss was much, much more than just causing a “fuss”. Words cannot describe properly how much we love you and miss you. Until our time arrives, when we can join you in heaven, watching over and protecting your daughter, our granddaughter. You are always on our minds and in our hearts.
September 11 will be recorded in history, if it has not been already as Americas most notorious tragedy. Thousands lost their children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends, true innocent Americans attempting to rescue and save others making the most extreme sacrifice. God bless them all.
A 9/11 memorial is planned throughout America for its first anniversary. We appreciate the thoughts, prayers, remembering and caring, but for us this will be a never-ending process of everlasting anguish in our hearts.

“A FATHER’S TEARS”
Are they tears of joy or sorrow? Maybe some of both. Every day and night they occur and I try not to let it show in public. At night the warm tears flow down my cheeks. These are the tears of joy that remind me of our first-born daughter who was taken from us on 9/11. My falling tears bring back memories of her words of “yes daddy – no daddy”. She always respected her parents.
I was extremely blessed with three daughters and a son, also with three granddaughters and a grandson, including a recently adopted Chinese granddaughter.
I love them equally and never would want any of them to precede me in death.

If my sister were looking down on us now…
…she would be happy to see our family growing closer.
…she would see my other sisters and I wrought with sorrow and trying to hold on to the memories we share.
…she would be proud of our parents’ strength in this difficult time.
…she would probably shed a tear to see all the tears being shed for her.
…she would see the U.S. government avenging the tragedy of 9/11.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
