Our church has a memorial in it of all the victims of 9/11. We were asked to take six names and pray for one of the names each day, as well as their surviving family members. I got Lisa's name. Shee is not forgotten.

I have started a facebook memorial page, called "Remember Me". Each member, receives the name of someone who died on 9/11 to honour. I have just given a member Lisa's name. Your loved one is not forgotten, and prayed for.

Lisa gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our heroes of September 11 be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you.

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.

on that day i just knew i would call and say " girl dont scare me like " i just knew you would make it back safe. I never thought it would happen to me that close. Never in a millon years. I sat there when the phone rang and said "there she is calllin me". However,I was wrong and very hurt. I miss you joking with me and moreover breathing on the phone not listening to a word I am saying. Most importantly I love you and definatley miss you but this is not forever babygirl, and thats real, trust and believe I will hear you laughing and and saying "girl please!!" like you always did.

Being a 911 survivor, I was also honored by the Mighty Red, Black and Green Tower of Power (H.D. WOODSON, Class of 1987) Although I did not know you, it's comforting to know we both came up IN THE WOODSON WAY!!!!! I used to see you and your daughter in the cafeteria or in the halls of the Pentagon and think they really do love each other. I will never forget you because your presense will be with me always. Your Mighty Tower of Power Schoolmate

My dearest Lisa,
You were my high school friend from H.D. Woodson. As in the H.D. tradition you are our family and we will remember you forever. Although you were called to glory on September 11, 2001, you will never be forgotten by the "Warriors". We honored your daughter Chaquita and your sister Wanda on October 7, 2001, at our 25th reunion, thereby honoring you. We will remember you always, friend, trusting that you now rest in the Masters Hands.
Always, H.D. Woodson Class of "81", Washington, DC

I was at a prayer service at my high school today. At the end of the prayer service we all recieved a bracelet with the name of a victim of September 11. I recieved Lisa's name and am praying for her and her family. I was fortunate enough not to lose someone, but my heart goes out to all the people who lost someone. I pray that nothing of this nature ever happens agian.

Lisa, I lost my little girl in 1991, I hope to God that she has found you in heaven, for every thing I read about you, I wish you could be her mother in heaven.
For some reason God took so many beautiful black women to heaven on that day.
Family please be strong, she will always be with you.
with all my love.

My name is Roni and I also live in Germantown MD. I never met Lisa, but its such a tragedy for such horrible and senseless acts of hate to occur and cause such pain to friends and family. My heart and prayers go out to you Lisa and your daughter that Ive been reading about. I pray for your family and especially your daughter to remain strong and patient to see your smile in heaven one day. Although your in heaven with the rest of the angels, im sure you will live through your daughter, may god bless you and your family.

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Lisa. May the precious memories of moments shared with her lighten the sorrow in your hearts. Our hearts cry with you.
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

Lisa-
I had no idea you were gone until I was sitting at the 10/11 memorial at the pentagon in my mother's honor and there was your name and picture. I couldn't believe it. It brought me back to the days when you, Wendy and I used to laugh and joke while working in 2B743. I didn't even know you had moved to that part of the building. I'm sure Quida misses you as much as I miss my mom, but I know that you all haven't left us for good and that she and I will see the two of you again. In loving memory- Michelle

Unfortunately for me, another one that I had to say "Oh, God, I recognize her, too."
What a loss for me for not knowing her.
I ask God why did I make it out and so many other ones didn't?

Dear Lisa,
I attend a church in Albuquerque that had braclets made with the names of the heros that died on Sept. 11. I am honored to wear a braclet that has your name on it and I pray for your family daily. I know you are in the Lords arms and I pray that your family draws strength from that knowledge.

God had numbered your days and your hours. He had a reason for taking you to his palace that september day. I hope that your family and friends relize that u r in a better place now. May God bless you and everyone you have met!

God Bless you, Lisa. You were taken away from the rest of us in a cowardly act. May the Good Lord keep you by His side and may your family and friends be comforted that one day they shall meet you again.
