Sarah Escarcega

Happy heavenly birthday, you are never forgotten.

Remembering Sarah on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

I didn't know Sarah on a personal level but I feel as though I do. I worked in the photo lab her in-laws used in our small town, so I knew them. I processed SO many rolls of film from Sarah and Roge's wedding that last summer of 2001. When you see so many pictures of people and during such amazing life events, you get a real sense of "knowing" them even when you don't. Word of her passing began floating around by September 12, 2001 but was silently confirmed a few weeks later when her...

15 years on - remembering that smile, that infectious energy, that warmth. You have missed so much and you have been much missed.

We visited the 9/11 memorial and museum last week. Inside my daughter made a flower and as we didn't know anyone personally we wanted to leave it for someone we could find a connection with. We are from London and my daughter shares your name. You were obviously a well loved person and we will now always be thinking of you and praying for you.

I think of Sarah often, and buy purple tulips (Sarah's favourite flower) every year on 28 February to celebrate her birthday/life. A wonderful kind friend taken too soon. Sadly missed.

So sorry you had to experience something so terrible. It still haunts me today!

I am going back to New York in May and the first place I plan to visit is the new 9-11 memorial and locate the name of Sarah Ali Escarcega.
