Angela Perez Obituary
As a teenager, Angela Susan Perez lived with her sister's family in the Bronx. She was 10 years younger than her sister, Donna, and 10 years older than her eldest niece, Kelly, which gave her insider perspectives.
"She was the cool aunt," Kelly Fitzsimmons recalled. "She'd let us do things like staying up an extra two hours when Mommy was away. She'd say, `Don't tell your mother,' and I'm sure she probably told her." In the same vein, she added, "She would pay us a quarter not to tell that her boyfriend stopped by."
To Donna Fitzsimmons, "Susie" was the bright-eyed baby sister who once announced the arrival of two strangers in the bathroom while their mother was in the bath. (To their mother's relief, they turned out to be imaginary.) As adults, the sisters shared cooking and shopping sprees.
A single mother of three, Ms. Perez, 35, was a clerk at Cantor Fitzgerald. For the last seven years she had been in a relationship with a former colleague, Carlos Castillo, who liked her directness. "She just had real honest opinions," he said.
She shared one of them last August, when her niece was trying to decide whether to move back to New York from Georgia. Ms. Perez urged her not to be swayed by others' views. "Susan had finally reached the point in her life where she didn't care what people thought," her niece recalled. "She said, `You know, Kelly Ann, you have to do what's right for you.' "

I received a wrist band to wear with Angela Susan Perez's name and her picture in 2011. I wear it on 9/11 every year since then. I pray for her and her family. I am a teacher at a Catholic school in Ohio and I share her picture and her tribute with my classes. I share her story with my students and ask them to pray for Susan and her family. She will never be forgotten and I will continue to share her life and pray for her and her beloved family ! God bless you.

Angela, although we never met I think of you often since 9/11/11. At mass that Sunday we each received a scrolled piece of paper that included a picture with a short background on one of the 911 victims. Our priest asked us to keep this person in our hearts and their families in our prayers. I opened my scroll to find your beautiful smile. You will never be forgotten.

Last night at the University of Delaware we had a vigil for those who perished in the September 11th attacks. We were each given a candle and a card with three names on it. Angela Susan Perez was one of the names on my card. I wanted to let her family know that I held a candle for her, and said a prayer for her and for all of them, and that I am sure across the country her memory was honored by many others as well. God Bless

You were the aunt that took us to PS 8 park, brought home big giant coloring books, gave us nicknames that made us cry (and laugh!), danced with us to Footloose, came as the chaperone on class trips, (and let unruly boys let them know what they were!) , told us not to suck our teeth at you! :) You were afraid of a rubber bat and you hated having your picture taken. You had a distinct laugh and unique sense of humor, a love of life and the people you knew were most important in that life. Remember that picture of Bo in the closet when we shared a room? And that pink brush I was never allowed to use?? Remember how I snuck out of the room when I saw someone kissing someone else and was so upset? And you made me feel better? Thanks. You were a Yankees fan, a Rangers fan, a Carlos fan! I loved embarrassing you on train rides. You always kidded about being the favorite aunt because you were the only aunt... that was never the only reason.

Susan,
You will be missed. God must have wanted someone who could make him laugh up in heaven, so he picked you. We all have great memories of you, birthday dinner, Christmas, picking you up downtown with Carlos (we won't go into details...:)
Whenever someone says SUSAN it brings a smile to my face.
May God bless you and keep you in his arms forever.

Father we entrust our sister Angela to your mercy. You loved her greatly in this life: now that she is freed from all its cares, give her happiness and peace forever. Welcome her now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.

It has been almost eight months since Susan's death and a day doesn't go by when I don't think about her and how much I miss her. Susan and I worked together for almost 4 years and in that time developed a wonderful friendship. Everytime I see a star shine in the sky I know that is her watching over me and letting me know that she is alright. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Hey Sue
I worked with Sue at Daiwa and Cantor. She was a great person. We had a lot of fun at Daiwa always going out. Crazy Phil loved to pick on her. She knew how to take a joke. That is what made her special.
My heart goes out to her kids and family.
Sue RIP.

I attended St. Barnabas H.S. with Susan. She was always a person who had a kind word and a smile... she was always laughing. She is a bright spot in my old high school memories. God Bless her always.

I worked and was very close friends with Susan a long time ago. Too long ago. She was somebody very special to me. My sadness is impossible to express here. My deepest sympathies go out to all of her family. I feel very fortunate to have known her.

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

My heartfelt sympathy is with susan's family. Susan and I worked together on a daily basis for the last 3 1/2 years. In those years we became the best of friends. She was a wonderful mother and most of all a great friend. Susan will always have a special place in my heart.
