Terry and Matt were two little boys when I babysat for them in Massapequa. I was fortunate enough to see both boys all grown up at their sister's wedding. My heart breaks for Irene, Frank, Matt, Katie and Terry's wife and children. May God help you through this time of grieving and love of family and friends help you through.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

I was so sorry to hear about Sgt O'Hara passing. I remember him as one of my training Sgt's in 2006 in the 103 PCT because he didn't have the kind of personality that was easily forgotten. He was handsome, cool, funny and there was never a doubt that whether you were a rookie or someone with time on if you were working and needed help he would ALWAYS have your back. I'm grateful for his sacrifice and humbled by his memory. God bless his family and friends always.

Rest In Peace Hero, I never met you, or perhaps we did meet at GZ, but you are part of our Ground Zero family, and we pray for you and your family now and forever. Never Forget.
