I watched how tragic this fire was. I feel bad for all the families who lost someone. It's sad how this happened because of mistakes people made. I don't even know who they all were but I feel for them. R.I.P.

I'm back again just to remind family and friends that their loved ones are not forgotten. Even 16 years later, this tragedy still is on my mind and all involved still enter my thoughts and prayers are with you always. I hope some sort of peace has found you all.

I struggle to even put thoughts together concerning this. My heart and soul is so deeply effected that all i can think of is the magnitude of such a tragedy and the lives that were destroyed. I love music and share so much with the people that were there that night. It could have easily been me or someone i loved. That said i choose to think thoughts of love toward all of you. I wish i could hold every one of you in my arms and let you know how much God loves you. God bless you all. Know that you are loved greatly and you will not be forgotten.

This has touched my heart so much that I will never forget the fire, the victims and survivors. Prayers to all the family and friends that I know, even 15 years later, are still dealing with the horrors of this fire. Just want you to know that people still care and think about this tragedy.

Members of the September, 2015 class on Leadership Strategies for Community Risk Reduction at the National Fire Academy recognize that the lessons learned from the Station Night Club Tragedy will help the fire service community prevent similar tragedies from occurring throughout the world. In recognition of their sacrifice, the class dedicated a memorial brick in the name of the Station Night Club Fire Victims in the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park Walk of Honor at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The brick, simply stating In Memory of the Station Night Club Fire Victims will be a constant reminder to fire personnel throughout the world of their role in preventing such tragic losses.

Many years have passed since we last saw you. But we will never forget you. You were someones brother, sister, a husband or a wife. You were someones son or daughter, niece or nephew. You were someones mom or dad. Mostly you were and still are loved and missed. God had sent his angels to show you the way home. It was a shock to hear you were going. All the tears that were shed and still being shed will never build the highway to heaven but in God's time we will meet again. Until that day has come know that you are missed and never forgotten.

To the 100 angels. Even though I'm not personally connected to any of you, I still found your sudden and tragic passings 10 years ago very sad.
I remember when the story first broke and siting there with tears in my eyes hoping everyone in there got out and were all okay, until the news of the death toll and the over 200 that were injured.
Rock on Rock 'n' Roll angel brothers and sisters. You will never be forgotten
To the surviors you are all Very insparering to all of us. You're stranght is amazing.
To the families and friends, always remember that all your loved ones are always with you.

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years already. I remember I was at Chalks with my boyfriend watching the reports come in and thinking "Wow, this looks really bad..." I never imagined the depth of the tragedy that had happened right down the street. I slowly took stock of my friends and was relieved to find everyone was ok but then I saw on the news that Nicky O'Neill had passed away. I didn't know him well, I knew his brother Bill - and the community theater network in RI is only so big - it seemed like everyone knew Nicky.
My very sincerest condolences to all of the 100 families and friends of the victims.
I hope you all are able to find some peace.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Judy,
I haven't figured out why you have put Bernie and I together at this point in time but I imagine it is because you know how much we both love and care for you. We are trying to stay in touch with Brianna and hopefully will able to guide her into a wholesome and faith filled life.
Please know Judy that all that I have been through with the surgery and my brothers illness. You are the 1st person in my life that I truly loved and lost. I know you guide me and help me to make the best decisions. I pray that you help me to know what you want from me at this time to be the best possible friend and sister that I can be to you and your memory. I miss you as much today as I did 6 years ago. I love you forever and will never let your memory fade in my heart.

On Thursday night, February 20,2003, I was sitting on my couch in Rocky Hill, Ct. Suddenly, the TV screen was filled with images of the Station fire. As a licensed clinical social worker out of UConn, also a grief counselor, I knew what I had to do the very next day. First I viewed the remains of what was left of that tragic building and bought a momento to attach to the wire fence. I found my way to a large hotel that served as home site for grieving relatives. I signed up to volunteer but was told so many like me had signed up from neighboring states, they did not need my services. I did walk around the hotel lobby and saw the incredible sad faces of those left behind. I now live in Hilton Head, SC. I often read the comprehensive articles about that fate filled night. In my will, my attorney knows that anything that I own will go to my two adult daughters. However, in that document it also states that some money should also go to the Warwick Station Fund. I think of all of you, the victims nearly everyday of my life. I can only wish you peace.

my name is Lee Pandolfe. On the night of February 20, 2003 I was watching TV in my Connecticut home. Since I am a licensed clinical Social Worker and grief counselor out of the University of Ct., I was shocked to see the Station fire and all the trauma that followed. I was in poor health at the time and my doctors warned me about driving out of State. I could care, so I drove at 8 a.m. the following morning to West Warwick R.I. Amazing as it sounds, my required reading at the time was a book about the Coconut Grove fire in Boston,1942.There it was thought the beginning of Social Work began. 465 lives were lost in that tragedy. As you know,we all want to think nothing is in vain. Many fire codes and safety issues were improved all over this country. On February 21st I visited the actual site of the Station night club. Where was once a building, there was no more. Just gray matter, even some smoldering ashes. There was a fence and it was littered with flowers, cards and stuffed animals. I made my way to the Crown Plaza. I just felt the need to help anyway that I possibly could. I was so let down. Apparently volunteers from Massachusits,RI, New Jersey and Ct. showed up. There were so many caring professionals, the Red Cross asked me to return the following Tuesday when dental records might identify the dead. So, I did.I drove for two hours,again, thinking that I may be of help. All I could think,yes I am a Mother. What agony did the 100 victims' family experience. It is Christmas Eve,2008. I never forgot your loved ones who perished in the fire. Thank God for modern technology. I now live in Hilton Head, SC. For some reason, I find myself reading every single obituary of those 100 people lost in that fire. They all had a common theme. They were young, accomplished loving men and women with families who had to face the unimagable. I am sure the last thing that they remembered was the powerful love of their Moms and Dads, siblings,etc. Time has a way of coming and going. I just wanted you to know,the events of nearly six years ago will never be forgotten. Lee Pandolfe, BS, M.ED, MSW, LCSW.

Although I had heard of the Station Fire, it wasn't until 2008 that I revisited news coverage of this terrible tragedy. In my work at a large university, I was already making efforts to provide greater safety for our students at heavily attended campus events. In reading more about the Station Fire, I became haunted by the stories of those who were lost, of badly injured survivors, and of loved ones left behind. I have been deeply impacted by these stories, and the memory of this awful fire has made me even more determined to press for strict safety standards and the enforcement of fire safety. I can't bring back those who were lost in this fire or in others, but I can help to prevent something like this from happening again. Meanwhile, my thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones who have experienced such loss. Peace.
