Elizabeth Logler Obituary
She was always Beth. Even when business associates first met her, Elizabeth C. Logler was Beth.
Ms. Logler, 31, was vice president of investor relations at eSpeed, a division of Cantor Fitzgerald. She was bright, ambitious and, many of her friends said, pretty enough to be a model, though she never wanted that. She was a runner, a skier and a swimmer, "competitive but in a soft kind of way," said her mother, Claire. In high school she ran cross- country, competing against the clock and against herself.
Ms. Logler was engaged to be married, with a wedding planned for Dec. 30, 2001. She and her fiancé, Doug Cleary, worked nonstop to furnish a co-op at Tudor City in Manhattan with family heirlooms from her grandparents.
"Beth had a great relationship with her grandfather," Mr. Cleary said. They had formed what by all accounts was a club of kindred spirits, a pairing of souls. Here's a typical encounter between Ms. Logler and her grandfather James Byrnes, whom she called Pop:
She drives up to his home in Yonkers in her hunter green Saab with the sunroof open. Mr. Byrnes, 87, in Irish cap and tweed jacket, hops in and immediately reaches for the loudest, wildest music he can find on the radio. Off they zoom, laughter pouring out of the open hatch.
"Oh, the two were devils together," Mrs. Logler said. "Both ready to go, ready to have a lot of fun."
Mr. Byrnes, 87, died on Sept. 11, 2000.

I saw Beth's name at the National September 11 Memorial today and decided to research about her life. I'm happy to have learned how much of a wonderful, beautiful and kind soul she was. We will never forget.

My daughter "Elizabeth Claire" was born shortly after 9/11 (03/02/02). My wife and I were having a difficult time finding a fitting name for her. So we assembled a list of potential names, one of which was your daughter's name. During our search for a possible name, we were led to look through a list of the names of those lost on that fateful day. Your daughters name stood out, so we read about her and agreed that if our daughter appeared to demonstrate the same qualities we would name her in honor of your daughter. Our Elizabeth Claire is now a teenager and she is an amazing young woman, full of life and determination.

Dear Logler Family:
I had the opportunity to work with Beth at Avis.
She was my friend; she will never be forgotten; she was beautiful but even more important she was honest and compassionate.
God Bless her Soul and comfort you eternally.

Dear sweet family,
On a recent mission trip to NYC from my home in Canada, I visited the 9/11 memorial. While there I found myself in prayer. I was reflecting and your Elizabeth's name was lit up by the sun shining on it. I returned home and found this guest book with her name. I feel God has led me to pray for peace for your family. I wish to pass along my condolence for your loss. May God comfort you in every way just as her memories bring comfort to your heart.

Dear Logler Family,
I express my condolences loss of such an amazing daughter, sister and friend. I am a Middle School student on Long Island and we have been speaking about 9/11 in class. Although at the time I was too young to understand the tragedy, ten years later I am very aware of the horrific acts the terrorists sent to harm thousands of others. I wish you my condolences and am so sorry for your tragic loss. I think Elizabeth would be elated to see the garden you have funded for her, especially because it is behind her favorite school. I know it must be hard without her, but her gorgeous smile is always smiling down on you.
With heartfelt sympathy, Michelle

Dear Family of Elizabeth Logler,
We are very sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter, sister, and friend, Elizabeth. Good day, We are 8th grade students from a Middle School on Long Island and are studying about 9/11. We were reading stories of some of the victims of 9/11 and when we saw Elizabeth's story we wanted to write a letter to her family. We think how great it was that she was such a successful and kindhearted lady and sadly had to lose her life in such a terrible and unjust way. We feel awful to know that this happened right before her marriage. We find it so beautiful and touching that once or twice a week you go to visit the 9/11 Memorial in Rockville Center. We were so touched when we heard that you donated a garden to the High School of Sacred Heart Academy where she attended. It's nice to know that Brian, Elizabeth's brother is passing stories of their time together and her memory down to his children. We are so sorry for your loss. On the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 we wanted to express our condolences. Her memory will live on.

We read about Elizabeth’s story and we are truly sorry. We are sure she would’ve had a beautiful wedding and would’ve made a wonderful wife and mother. We find it so touching how you donated money for a garden, in her memory, at the high school she attended. We’re sure the apartment she designed was going to turn out to be beautiful. From the picture, she looks like she was a beautiful and happy woman. We are sure she brought much joy to her family, especially when she visited you. We find it so touching that you go to the memorial for 9-11 at Ground Zero every year. We also admire how you visit the 9-11 memorial in Rockville Centre a few times a week and how you always bring flowers there. You are truly role models to everyone, especially those families who are in your place. You are strong, especially how when you think of her you laugh at the good times instead of crying at the sad time. We wish you the best in life. May you never have to experience something as bad as that ever again.
Sincerely,
Gabriella and Rebecca

I remember Beth as a bright, beautiful young girl playing at the cabanas of the Sands Beach Club - a wonderful childhood memory of carousing children and relaxing parents all happily enjoying Long Island summers together in a peace we will probably never see again. While I was older I did sense something special about her, and was not surprised at all to read about her success in the financial world years later. My deep felt sympathies to Beth's parents, brother and fiance for their great loss. I hope they gain comfort to know that she is truly missed by the many people whose lives she touched.

As Elizabeth's aunt, (her father is my brother) I clearly remember her. One time when visiting New York, I made a rather prejudiced remark, which I don't usually do, but I thought I was being clever. I was roundly "told off" by my niece, who was only a young girl, but I caught her passion for truth, and I quickly apologized. I know Beth would want the beautiful new Memorial at the World Trade Center to be a place of forgiveness and peace. She could see that vision clearly. Hoping to see you in heaven, dear Elizabeth...

To The Logler Family:
Growing up on Long Island was great because Marnie, Marc and I always got to share our summers with Beth and Brian. Beth was a person who always had a nice thing to say. I will always remember that she had a positive outlook on life that came with a spirited sense of humor.
I continued to be saddened by this tragedy but will always have warm memories when I think of Beth.
Love,

I met Colin Cleary and his family about 8 months ago, on Sept 11th on the anniversary of the terrible events of the previous year I had the oppurtunity to hear Colin Cleary talk abouthis soon to be sister in-law and felt compelled to learn more about her. Her family is doing a wonderful job keeping her memory alive and I am glad I got to know just a little about a really wonderful person.

Dear Mr&Mrs. Logler ,Brian, Jane Ellen,& Doug,
Beth & I go back a long way. I will always cherish the fun times we had together at the cabana. She is in my thoughts eveyday. Beth was a great friend. Beth & I would not see each other all the time as we got older but there was always a special bond that we shared. A special part of her will be with all of us for the rest of our lives. I will never forget her.

Dear Logler Family,
On the 1 year anniversary of the Sept 11th bombing, I want to express my deepest condolences to you. I met Beth a few times over the years through Marnie Manes, my best friend. Beth was and will remain in my memory, a bright light that shined on all who met her. I think if her often which serves as a testiment to her enduring person: for having met her only a few times, she made quite a lasting impression. I know she is always present: visiting us in our dreams and living through us with the memories she has given us. I pray for you everyday, that your pain will be eased, knowing that Beth isn't really gone... and she will never be forgotten. God Bless you.

I was lucky enough to have met Beth several times during her visits home to Rockville Centre, when she would come into the place I work at, Bialystock & Bloom, for coffee with her Mom. There was always this beautiful smile upon her face & you could just see how happy she was. I am very saddened to know that smile has been taken from us. I do know that now all the angels in heaven are being graced with it...Beth, your smile will shine in our hearts forever..

On September 11th, 2002, Tacoma Washington and Pierce County will spend a day of memory, hope and action in remembrance of those who lost their lives a year prior. Through a random drawing at my church I picked Elizabeh's name and am proud to donate 10% of my time and salary that day in memory, honor and love of Elizabeth. As it sounds like she was a talented athelete, I will focus my time and money on youth sports and activities, probably through the Pierce Country Boys and Girls club.
My sincere prayers and thoughts to her family, fiancee and friends. Elizabeth, even though I am a stranger to you, you will not be forgotten.

To All in the Memory of "Beth"
So sad, so tragic, far beyond my words. Those of our President Lincoln on November 21, 1864, may be of some consolation. "I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom." My heart goes out to all of you. Denis P. Casey

What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to Beth, as well as her grandfather. It paints a picture in my mind of a wonderful girl. I am sorry for your loss. My uncle worked for Cantor and was also murdered. I hope our families can find peace in the wonderful memories of these special, chosen people. Sincerely,

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Beth. 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
