Annette Dataram Obituary
Anette Dataram worked in accounting for Windows on the World at 1 World Trade Center and planned to pursue a bachelor's degree to further her career as an accountant. But the 25- year-old's real passion seemed to be food ‹ not that served at the famous restaurant where she worked, but her own.
"Get me a big fish, I'm going to bake it," she would tell her mother after watching one of the cooking television shows she loved. Then she would cook the new recipe for her parents, her sister and her two brothers, with whom she lived in Queens. "Yes, it was very good," Chandra Dataram said of her oldest daughter's culinary abilities.
Mrs. Dataram said her daughter, who was engaged to be married next year, was quiet and simple, not "a dressed-up type," but was also driven and ambitious. In New York City for the last nine years, the family had come to this country from Guyana to take advantage of its opportunities, she said, and her daughter was certainly making it.

For Pryia's mom.. The loss of your daughter can only be experienced by you everytime her name is mentioned a loving memory would flash by... It's the same for me and the rest of the family as I would remember all her visits with her other cousins at a party or a function, her beautiful smile and her helping hand. She is greatly missed every day and will never be forgotten.. In every conversation or gathering or a party... Be strong and have Faith Boughie Chandra and to all the family.

Dear Bougie, I've seen you strong during the early days of you loss, and you told me it was prayers and God that kept you. Prayers of families, friends, and even strangers. Strangers in the city Of New York in those early days.Strangers that God put on those streets because he knew you'd be there looking for your daughter. God knew you needed their prayers to help you through that. And as surely as i believe there is a God, i know she's in Heaven. You'll see her again. And she'll be just as beautiful and vibrant as you knew her. And she'll still be your daughter with wings. Grieve because your heart aches. Cry because you miss her. That pain in your heart will go away one day. Take comfort in knowing she felt no pain, her angel was there to her away. You WILL see her again. Love you.

I'm Annette's Dataram sister.She was a great sister to me,she is one out of a million.When i was back home in guyana, i was about to write cxc exams, my sister call and she said "you have to work every hard in order to get to go to college when you come over here". But no one knows that it was the last day i would get to talk to my sister.Now i came over here and i have to live without her,and knowing those words that she said. My sister left guyana since 1993 with her mom and two brothers Robert and Anand. I never saw back her even till this day i can't see her,she is going and never comming back. She went to heaven with god but at least god should have gave her onemore chance on earth.
MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE ALWAYS I LOVE YOU AND I'LL ALWAYS DO.INCLUDED EVERYONE ELSE.
YOU ARE SADLY MISSED BY:
MOM:Chandra
DAD:Penny
BROTHERS:Robert,Anand AND Romell

Annette is a sister that I never had. We began our friendship over an Accounting class more than 4 years ago. We were two halves of a whole, another member of our family. We'd get together on the weekends, usually at her house, and we'll rent movies and drink bicardi breezers while talking to each other about the week we had at work or school, about the guys in our lives and things like that. I was married exactly one month before she died and I will always regret that we didn't get to talk about everything that happened at my wedding as she was unable to attend. My biggest regret in life would be that I didn't see her the day before as I was supposed to.
Annette, I know that you are in heaven and may God keep you safe in His arms. I have not yet grieved for you because, to me, you are still alive.
I MISS YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!
YOUR FRIENDSHIP & LOVE MEANS THE WHOLE TO ME
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
YOU LIVE IN MY HEART ALWAYS!
P.S. I MISS YOUR COOKING (SMILE)

I'd like to share what Annettes brother Anand has shared with so many of us about his sister. She loved to cook and from what I heard she was a heck of a chef! She loved her family and was looking foward to getting married & starting her own. She was a caretaker of her brothers even though she was younger. She was the motherly type.
By Anands description of his Sister I feel I knew her...in a way we all know her now.
I work with Anand and I can't tell you how it feels to be that close to someone everyday and not know the right words to say to him. All of his co-workers wanted to help pick up the pieces but none of us knew how.
We shared our Sorrow...Gave our Love & Support but this was no ordinary loss for him or anyone else, this was different and still is....This DIDN'T have to happen...Even today, 9-11-2002 as I spoke to him on the phone about Annette there is NO closure for him and you can hear it in his voice,he misses his sister.
We talked about how Annette loved to cook and how she made sure her brothers always ate before she would serve herself, Anand said, "That is just how she was."
He talked about helping to give her that very special wedding that every little girl dreams of. Anand talked about how Annette was to be married and how all he ever wanted for his sister was to be Happy & Successful and the fact that his sister was on her way to having everything she had ever dreamed of.
Anand talked about how Annette interned at the World Trade Center & how much of a Dream it was for her to be asked to work as a full time employee when she was finished with school. Unfortunatly that will be her last dream to come true, for now...
I did tell Anand today my belief was that she is with God and that she was in "Good Hands"...That she is his Guardian Angel...That she will always be with him in his heart & because of the horror felt by All of us Americans Annette & the rest of the victims will always be in "Our Hearts."
Even though we never met here on earth we will see them again someday in Heaven & maybe if we are lucky Annette will cook for us in that big kitchen in the sky!
God Bless the Dataram Family & Those Who Knew & Loved Annette....Peace Be With You!

My deepest sympathy goes out to Annette's family. I knew Annette from high school (Richmond Hill High). We used to walk home together after school. She lived one block from me. After we graduated, we lost contact. It was truly a shock and loss when I saw she was one of the victims. I am so sorry that we didn't keep in contact. May God bless you all. She will surely be missed.

I can only guess at the kind of pain/loss that you have endured. I have a daughter who is 9 years old and I could only hope that I could show half the endurance you've shown. May God be with us all

Dear Annette, instead of looking through the windows of the Windows of World, you are looking through the clouds from heaven at all those who loved you. I am sure that you have alot of competition in heaven cooking, you know we lost alot of firefighters who were great cooks, tell firefighter Rob to make his chili dish for you, I heard its the best. May God Bless you and your family

I was a rescue worker at the WTC. I was there when a fireman I was working with found your daughters purse with her identification in it. I was struck by how young and lovely she was and had hoped that she had left it behind in her haste to leave the building. I guess I had imagined what it would be like for her to be reunited with it. I couldn't forget her name and face but made myself wait till now to see if she had escaped. I am deeply sorry for your loss. My family also lost a loved one that day in tower 2. I hope you have received her personal items that we found that night and that they have brought you some comfort.

I met Annette (a friend of my children) on the A train many times,traveling home from work and we would talk about things like her work and her new house of which she was very excited. She was a wonderful young woman, full of hopes and dreams and incredibly proud of her Associate's Degree, which she worked so very hard to obtain. Her loss is one of the saddest events of my life as I still look for her face every afternoon on the A train. As a mother, myself, my heart goes out to her Mom and her family. Please accept our condolences for your loss.

To Annette's family and friends,
I want to let you know just how honored I am to wear Annette's name on my Mercy BAND. It has reminded me daily to pray for each of the family's involved, our country, our leaders--but especially you. I pray that in this time of sorrow and heartache you would know the peace, comfort, hope and, most of all, the love of Jesus Christ. Although we probably will never meet here on earth, I hope that someday we'll meet in heaven!
May God bless you and give you strength,

We are very sorry for your loss of Annette. May her quietness, her cooking abilities, her life and love live on in those who love her. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by precious memories of times shared with Annette. 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

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter Annette. As a mother, I cry for you!
Please find comfort in knowing there are many who love and care very much for you. What a tragic loss. How unjust! How Unfair! Annette was just beginning to live! I truly feel your grief very deeply. It is very important to remember, Annette wants you to be happy. She would not want you to be sad. My prayers will continue.
