Zoe Falkenberg Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 13, 2001.
For Leslie A. Whittington, Charles Falkenberg and their two young daughters, the flight to Los Angeles was to have been only the start of their journey. They were headed to Australia, where Whittington, a Georgetown University economist, was to work as a visiting professor for several months at Australian National University.

The family, friends said, had been planning for this adventure for months. The pair had been married 17 years. Their daughters, Zoe and Dana, were 8 and 3.

It's been twenty years but I recall this day like it was yesterday. I still remember my coworker Kirk Whittington who lost his sister Leslie, her husband and two beautiful children to this horrifying day.

God bless and hold closely the Whittington and Falkenberg family.
We will never ever forget who carried out these horrifying events .
Leslie. Charles, Zoe and Dana- we love you and will never forget you.

My dear sweet Zoe,
It has been 18 years since you and your family suffered a horrible end to your lives. But your spirit will be with us forever. You are a symbol of all children lost on that sad day in Americas history. I am wearing your bracelet in remembrance of you and your beautiful life.
Rest In Peace with your family.

Dear Zoe,
I am heartbroken that you and your family died 18 years ago. What saddens me the most is that you had no control over your unfortunate circumstance. You would be in your mid 20's now and would probably have a family. If it wasn't for the terrorists you would be living a happy life with your family and probably your kids. Rest in peace because you are in a better place now.

Hi again Zoe,
You were quite adorable. So I am saddened by the recent tragedies that affected the US a week ago.
But I can imagine that you, Dana, and your parents made many friends from Ohio, Mexico and Texas.

To Zoe,

Im heartbroken to know you died on the ill-fated flight 77 when you were 8 years old with your family. You couldve been in your mid-twenties, a high school/university graduate. Rest in peace with all the angels in paradise.

My Dear Zoe,
Another year has gone by as I once again wear your memorial bracelet. You and your family have a special place in my heart even though I did not know you personally. You and your family symbolize all the families affected by those terrible events of that day and are still affected today and forever. Your spirit and soul remain strong.
May you rest in peace and know that you are remembered and loved.

Another year has gone by sweet girl. I know you're in a better place and I know the world is a better place for having you in it. You'd be almost 24 now. Our Zinnias bloomed so beautifully this year. You're in our hearts always and always will be. Rest well, princess.

Dear Zoe,
You have taken a piece of my heart that will never be returned unless you return back to us. I believe you are in heaven and are now in good hands in the name of God. God Bless you and your family, I know that at the last minutes of your life you held on to your baby sisters hand tight and prayed that you and your family would have a good life up in heaven. I know you were worried on the plane, I'd be too, but I also know that you were a brave little girl with an extraordinary heart. I pray for you, your baby sister Dana and your loving mother and father. I hope you all are watching over America because I know that I am watching over you. Zoe, your what inspired me to learn more about 9/11. Today 1-31-16 (Sunday) I pray for you and your family but don't worry I always will. Today I am now 14 years old and I believe the older I get, the more you inspire me to become a better person. Please rest in peace, I know I never meant you but I strongly believe that I one day will. But until then I will pray for you and your loving family. You will be dearly missed. But please remember that 9/11 is the day that America will NEVER FORGET!

If I could rewind time, I'd take your place on that plane so you could live your life. I'm so sorry this happened to you and your family. I have no doubt you comforted your little sister until the end. Rest in peace, angel.

Sweet Zoe,
I have a memorial bracelet with your name on it. I wear it every September 11 and think of you and your family. You had a wonderful life ahead of you. You would be 21 now and I wonder what you would have accomplished. May you always rest in peace knowing that you will never be forgotten. Not by me or our Country.

First time to New York on business from the UK and was fortunate enough to have been shown the memorial fountains and Zoe's name was one of the first I saw and then noticed the whole families names there, I looked her up and the story is very moving and sad, it sounded as though this young family had a wonderful future ahead of them which was taken away far too young. I found the fountains to be a very moving tribute to all victims. X

As I sit here and watch the moving tributes and see the pictures of these beautiful girls with their Daddy, I think of how many memories I have of my own two daughters and have blessed I am to still have them with me. I thank the people who posted those pictures, as I stood for so long at the bencehs at the Pentagon Memorial, I wondered what these dear families looked like. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family and friends whose lives were so tragically changed on that dreadful day. I will honor the meomory of this fine family by trying to be a better person, a better Dad, a better American. With much love from Texas,

Zoe, I know you didn't know me. But I find it incredibly sad to know you've passed away. I know we would've been great friends if we would've known each other. May you rest in peace and shine down on us from heaven. I wish I would've known you.
Have faith and hope and you will always survive.

Zoe, I met you at a Unitarian camp when I was probably about 4 and I guess you were 7. I remember lighting a candle for you and your family in church after 9/11 and I remember thinking I played with that girl. Anytime someone brings up 9/11 I think of you immediately. I only met you once but you are forever on my mind. The rest of my family doesn't remember you as vividly as I do so I have no one to share my memories with. But eleven years later I found this page and I'm glad I can say something about you and maybe someone who knew you will see it. Rest in peace.

Although I did not know you , your sister or your father. I feel like I am so close to you! I am sure your daddy tried everything he could to protect you little girls and I am sure he is still by your side in the hands of God! I am sure your mommy thinks of you all everyday that passes and I cannot even imagine how she must be coping with this tragic loss. Me being a mommy I cannot even begin to imagine! Just know that you are now safe and noone can ever hurt you again! May you and your family rest in peace and just know that your mommy WILL see you again in the wonderful kingdon of heaven!

September 12, 2011

Dear Zoe -
In 2002, the girls in San Jacinto council troop 61535 made a quilt to give to a project that provided quilts to the surviving family members of 9/11. Our quilt ended up in the hands of your grandmother, who was kind enough to contact us and let us know that you were also a Brownie girl scout and the same age as the girls in 61535. We've thought of you often but never as much as this fall, the 10th anniversay, and the year you should be starting college along with our girls.
God bless your family.

Dear Zoe,
I can't believe it's been ten years. You should be 18 years old now. And turning 19 in a few months. It eats me up inside that that'll never happen. You were a wonderful person. You were funny too. I remember when I met you.
"Hi, my name is Zoe. Are you on level 4 now? What's your name?"
"I'm Ilana. And yeah, I'm on level 4."
"Cool! Wanna run around with me?"
Just like that. We were friends. You were the best gymnastics buddy in the world.
Zoe, I love you. I miss you.

Zoe,
As Sept. 11th approaches I am thinking of you even more so then I do throughout all these passing years. I think about your beautiful sister Dana, mother Leslie and father Charles as well. Rest in peace Zoe and know that so many people love you. My prayers go out each and every day since 9/11/01 to my former co-worker Kirk Whittington, brother of Leslie, who I was with the morning of 9-11. My prayers are with Kirk and his wife as well. Rest in peace Zoe, Dana, Leslie and Charles. You are not and will never ever be forgotten and are forever loved by so many.

Derek Booth

September 2, 2011

Zoe, I am so thankful to have known you, I can't help but think of you all the time. I would give anything to go back to that morning and put myself on amarican flight 77 with you. If I could, I would. You were so pretty and even though you were only 8 you acomplished so much and I just can't imagine how much more beautiful you would be if you were still here, Zoe I am blessed to have gotten to know you and you are never to far, when I need faith, I close my eyes and I can see and hear you and that gets me through the day. May you forever rest in peace dressed all in white and shine on all of us till we get to be together again.

Zoe, I thank god to have you in my life
REST IN PEACE, MAY YOU FOREVER HAVE ETERNAL LIFE UP IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE CALLED HEAVEN!!!

friends forever,

I am so sorry for your loss. My eldest was born the same year as Zoe. We were able to visit the Pentagon Memorial last year and Zach sat on Zoe's bench to pay his respect. It puts it all in perspective to know he has a life to continue to honor and earn, while Zoe's was taken away without her choice. We will never forget....

Kim Straker

September 5, 2010

It isn't easy to look at the photos of this vibrant young girl (who would now be 18) and fully comprehend that her life ended on 9/11. However, anyone reading the story of the Falkenberg family will soon understand that these remarkable people were bringing up two special little girls, and while we will always mourn their loss, wondering what their lives would have become had they not been on that flight, I think it is clear that they represented all that is best in America - and for that we must be grateful. I hope that all those who loved them find some peace at this time.

My name is Connie and I just retired from the FBI in San Diego. I worked for the Bureau for 34 years.
Nothing has ever impacted our office the way the September 11, 2001 attacks did.
I would like to share something you may not know. On September 11,2003, our office received a flyer with tributes written by Jennifer Ryles-Scott and Betty Scott . Jennifer and Betty memorialize Charles, Leslie, Zoe, and Dana Falkenburg of Hyattsville, Maryland.
The Falkenburg’s family was on Flight 77, which was connected to terrorists linked to San Diego.
There was also a tribute to Juliana Valentine McCourt and Ruth McCourt, victims of Flight 175.
The flyer was posted on a bulletin board in the employee’s entrance to the San Diego FBI field office.
I looked at this flyer every day for almost five years.
The watermark on the flyer said “remember.” I do not know who mailed this flyer,
But whoever it was needs to know that it is still posted in our office and is seen daily.
Something as simple as a little flyer influenced and encouraged me every day.
I’m sure the same goes for my co-workers.
So, whoever mailed this flyer, Thank you… 9/11 will not be forgotten.

I feel very sorry for your family. She bearly even had a chance to live. It was probably a very hard lose for your family. That wasn't fair for the people to die that day. When we learned about the 9-11 attack in school, i didnt realize how many people had really died that day. When this happend i was only 5, so i didn't understand what happend when it did.

I feel really bad for you because she was only 8 and you lost her.
I think what happened that day is one of the worst things that every happened in history.
Learning about 9-11 changed me because I know what horribe things happened that day. I was only 5 at the time and didn't understand what was going on.

I have never felt so sad looking at this girls face, so much promise and hope for an 8 year old girl who would have been 15 by now. Her family about to embark on a three month trip to australia an adventure that would take them have way around the world. Out of the five or six innocent childrens faces I've seen that died in this tragedy even her younger sister I cant believe that Zoe is gone. It's been 6 1/2 years now since she died and I am finnally getting to know Zoe, I will remember her because she liked to swim and she loved to pick flowers. My grandparents have felt like my only protectors, and that will most certainly change as I get older, all four of them are in heaven including the only grandparent have ever really knew my grandpa orv who died just two weeks after september 11th. I feel now that I have an angel looking over me for my whole life and for some weird reason am no longer afraid of dying, I know that is strange but Zoe is in my heart forever and that will not change until the day I meet her or maybe in a different life. I know young and old die every day but this life I feel will be right beside me every step of the way. Zoe Falkenberg rest in peace with love from kyle.

Nancy Sahlberg

November 11, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We were soulmates of friendship since the first day we met. I will never forget the beautiful memories and summer days we spent together. I will never forget the call I got saying you were in the plane that hit the Pentagon. I couldn't believe I felt like I hade gotten hit by a truck and still to this day I feel that same way even now as I write this. You were such a beautiful person and didn't relize until you were gone and now regret it. It is amazing to see all of these posts from people who didn't even know you. To all of you you didn't know her you were seriously missing out. I love and miss you very much...
