Patricia Massari Obituary
She had found out early that morning that she was pregnant — news that was at once thrilling and unsettling since it was neither planned nor expected.
There were still so many things Patricia A. Massari, 25, had wanted to do before starting a family. Still in school at night, she wondered out loud that morning, as she raced to get dressed for work, if the home pregnancy test was wrong. She told her husband of two years that she would buy another.
"She called me at 8:40 a.m. to tell me she got the second test," Mr. Massari recalled. The couple stayed on the telephone several minutes.
Mrs. Massari, who worked during the day on the 98th floor of the World Trade Center at Marsh & McLennan, had been studying for an exam that night in world civilization at Berkeley College in Manhattan. A bubbly, outgoing woman, she had been looking forward to getting the test behind her and was excited about visiting the television set of Emeril Lagasse's cooking show on the Food Channel. A lifelong resident of Queens, Mrs. Massari had sent in her name last year to a lottery and won two seats for the Sept. 14 show. She and her husband were also looking forward to a vacation in October.
"Everything was cut short," said Mr. Massari, who was on the phone with his wife when the plane hit.

I was not born during 9/11 I was born in 2004. Reading and watching about 9/11 about you has made me tear, it has stuck with me the most. Hearing about the love you had and your beautiful smile that was taken away from of all us and your loving and bubbly personality. I visit ground zero every year and place a rose in your name. I pray for your soul during your annual remembrance. Your taken away from this world so soon Patricia. Memory Eternal.

Memories are all I have left of you, as I get older they may not be as crisp as they once were in my mind. But the love I have for you still remains strong.
I´m thankful for the time we had, Thankful that Joe is back in my life the last few years, at least I have a small part of you back. A small part of what life was like before we lost you.
Grief is a burden I don´t wish upon anyone, and to have lived with it for so long is like a ton of bricks on my back just to have more pile on me when my own brother James died in May, it was unbearable. I just hope you were there to welcome him and give him a big hug and smile..
23 years, gone in what feels like a blink of an eye..
I miss you still

Trish,
Am so sorry this happened to you. I was floored when learning about this many moons ago. I have visited you several times on ground zero. You were a beautiful soul, a friend when I needed one. And you pushed me to finish HS when I was cutting. Your smile, kindness will never be forgotten.
Love you friend,
Rob

Ever since hearing Patricia´s story a couple years ago and visiting NYC for the first time last year- her life story stays with me. Her and her husband´s love for one another and the hopes and dreams they held linger in my mind. The unborn baby that never joined the family isn´t forgotten either... Patricia continues to be a light to all who loved her, knew her, and even those strangers who are newly learning about her life. Her smile was so perfect and radiant in her photos. Wishing her a belated heavenly birthday and sending much love to her friends and family.

Trish,
I'm always thankful to have this sweet kind soul with me on this day, because no matter how sad i am. no matter how much i cry she can still make me smile and laugh.. I know for certain you help picked all the good things about Eleanore before sending her down to me.. she actually does remind me a lot of You.. she loves makeup, getting her nails done, kitties.. she loves music and to dance and fashion. God I miss You, my friend today marks 22 years I was 22 when we lost you, half my life, half of my life has gone by. and I have tried to do everything from that point on, for you in mind, because you no longer could..
I've Tried to make you proud. Run that 1/2 marathon, travel, move cross the country, having my daughter (I know you were with me in the labor and delivery room). You are so special to me and I thank the lord you were put in my life, even though it was the hardest thing I ever had to endure, you were worth the pain. To even know you for the shortest amount of time. To have you be the example of the person I wanted to be most like.
I Got to see Louie on Monday, it's always good to see his face. And I talk to Joey quite often. I miss our family dynamic we had, I'm sad we couldn't have seen what it would have become. Eleanore always says she wishes she could have met you and has millions of questions I can't really answer. I just tell her, but you did meet her. In Heaven before you came down to be with me - you just don't remember.. she smiles and goes "ohhh yes that's right." I can only hope that's truly the case.
I miss you still

It’s been a long time since I posted on here Trish I know you are with our dad your father Inlaw who loved you dearly. I know you both are in a better place and I know you are all with us! I couldn’t cry today which was a first and I couldn’t because I had My daughter here and my boys were so happy to see her!!! I got so many signs yesterday and today. Picking my daughter up seeing a rainbow and your memorial flag came today something I ordered weeks ago and wasn’t suppose to come till the 18th. So much has changed but we are okay! Keep protecting us and like Louie said we have 2 angels watching over us!!! Please give a hug and kiss to My Dad and Mom. We Love you and you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ❤

Thinking of Patricia and her family today. Her story has definitely been one of the stories that has stuck with me the most from 9/11, and I can´t imagine the heartache her poor husband Louis has had to face. His messages on here are very heartfelt, it is clear they had a special love. Please know Patricia is never forgotten, I´m so sorry for the loss of her and the new baby she had just learned she was carrying. I´m sure it is still painful after all this time, but I believe her spirit is with you through the pain of it all, guiding you through with love. Happy heavenly birthday to beautiful Patricia. <3

I never had the honor nor pleasure of knowing Patricia. I only know 9/11/01 left a deep impact of much pain and so many questions. I read much about history and world events and stumbled upon Patricia's name. As I read of these tributes, I was so touched to read that her husband Louis had written to her for 20 years. Years of love and devotion amongst the pain of untimely seperation. I hope to have a love like Patricia and Louis, where not even death dims that bright love. 2 years of marriage wasn't enough for them and I'm so sorry for your loss of dreams and togetherness, Louis. For the loss of your teammate, wife, friend and world. Anyways just know a 32 year old woman on the west coast thinks of Patricia and her beautiful smile. She was so young and it isn't fair. But I hope that even a stranger seeing the great love Patricia and Louis shared will help even 21.5 years later. God bless her loved ones.

August 31, 2021
Last night I dreamt of you, well of our past lives together with Joey and your parents and friends and it was like no time had passed at all, but it was strange, like it was present day. It was really strange. Made me sad to wake up and realize it wasn't real, my friend. I can't believe it'll be 20 years soon. How I wish I could pick up the phone and just say hi. I think it's because I popped in a CD i found and a song came on that reminded me of you yesterday and I didn't expect to hear it and it made me smile. This world is a crazy place and I often wonder what you'd think of it. Where you'd be, what you'd be doing. Miss you still my friend. with love Janis

I think about life and what time actually is.. During this time of year from Trish’s birthday (8/20) to 9/11 it’s very strange for me. I try to wrap my head around, to comprehend what time really is. It's been 19 years yet it sometimes feels like a different life and then some days it feels that I'm still that young girl laughing and singing and dancing in the car with Trish... it couldn’t possibly be that long ago, could it?
Trying to understand the meaning of life, I think, is one of man’s greatest questions that we may never get the answer to. I don’t know what I believe, or what's true. I want to believe that Trish is with me and comes to say hello and watches over all her loved ones, and that one day I’ll get to see her again.. I hope there is more after this life.
I always think about the Lord of the Rings where Frodo says to Gandolf "I wish none of this had happened" and Gandolf says "so do all who live to see such times but that’s not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us". On my journey the last 19 years there have been really hard times and there have been some very joyous moments but that summer before 911 was one of the best summers of my life. Maybe because we were young and carefree and innocent. We didn't see the ugliness the world could hold. Or we were so young we didn't want to see it or even knew where to look for it.. Unlike today as soon as you open your phone the ugliness of the world is at your fingertips.
All I know is I miss my friend. I replay some of our last conversations we had the last few weeks to months. I miss her smile, her laugh, her caring heart. I would have loved to see the woman she would have grown into, but now she's frozen in time. Beautiful and young. And we're all here left to get old and wrinkly all without her wonderful presence.
I really try to be strong on this day and move on from it, I hate that this one day in history defined my path. Changed the whole outcome of my future.
I am just thankful for all the people that have come into my life and have helped heal my heart, so it wouldn't feel so broken. I'm most of all thankful to Trish, showing me what a caring heart looks like. She was beyond thoughtful, the world really lost a great one that day...

I never had the honor to meet Patricia... and 17 years later I'm just now hearing her story and I'm heart is totally broken ... I can only imagine the pain that her family and husband are still feeling and by reading all the comments from years past from all of her family and friends I can tell not only is she an angel now but she was an angel here on earth ... it's truly sad that she was taking from us at such a young age and then to find out that on that horrible day of 9/11/01 that she was pregnant just puts me to tears that Patricia and her husband never had the opportunity to start a family together... I remember that horrible day like it was yesterday and I was 23 at that time and I will never ever forget the victims and their families may god be with them and help make their pain go away ... when I saw this on tv yesterday it just stuck in my head and in my heart ... I can only imagine what Patricia's family and friends feel just always keep her memories in your heart and know that we as Americans will always be praying for you ...

You are missed today as much as the day you were taken from us 17 years ago.. Time is a funny thing, some days it feels like a lifetime ago, other times it feels like it were yesterday..
You are a bright light in our lives, even though you're not here with us physically I know you're watching over all of us..
I think you brought Joey and I back into each other's lives and I'm grateful for that, because now I have a wonderful friend again.. It feels like a part of you is back in my life..
I know Joe feels the same way, I hope I can fill the part that you would have held as his big sister.
a ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on. a friend til the end..
Trish, you are the glue that kept us together, and here we are back together because of you..
We miss you more than any of us could put into words, until we meet again our sweet Trish..
I miss you still

this is the first time in awhile i haven't been to NY on 9/11 since moving to FL.. I have only stayed in FL two times or so and hated not being in my city with my friends that are my family..
When I'm home it does something to me, it charges my soul it makes me whole again, for a short time anyway.
I contemplated for a little bit if I would make the trip up with George and Eleanore this year, but quickly decided against it because of her reflux, and just being so small.. I know Trish would understand.. It's amazing this time last year I knew I was pregnant. Friday on the 9th I took a test before I left for the airport because my body felt different, but that test came back negative.. I was a little disappointed. When I got up to Philly where George picked me up I had told him the test came back negative, he was a little disappointed as well..
But throughout the weekend I just felt "off" so I decided when I got back to FL i would take another test on the 12th..
I know many of you know Trish's story but those who don't, the morning of 9/11 Trish took a pregnancy test before work and it came back positive. Louie asked her to stay home, but Trish, as dedicated and loyal she was to her job, said no and that she had to go into work.. She said she would take another test at lunch.. She was on the phone with Louie when the first plane hit her building..
After I got back to FL I took another test and seeing it was positive I had so many emotions; happiness, fear, excitement, shocked.. I'm assuming Trish had some of those same feelings.. I only wish I could have seen Trish become a mom. She would have been an amazing mother, and to think she would have a teenager now..
Things work out in different ways.. Upon hearing that hurricane Irma was heading straight for FL i was happy i stayed here and got the house prepared.. I didn't have to worry about my mom being alone.
Life changes when you become a mom.. Priorities are so different, it doesn't mean I won't be in NY next year, I will be for sure..
After 9/11 I used to hate the saying "everything happens for a reason" how could there be a reason for 9/11 what was the reason of that day, but now 16 years later I find it ironic that i'm saying it now..
Hurricane Irma has left destruction in its path for thousands of miles and although I do not know the reason for this hurricane, I know I was meant to be in Florida this weekend.. So there was a reason to be here, to protect our home and family..
I can tell you this though, 16 years later and I still remember every detail about that day, it's like it's been burned into my memory. I feel like I'm still that young naive 22 year old scared out of her mind, made to grow up so quickly..
As a mother now, I pray that Eleanore doesn't ever EVER go through what we went through on that day.. I hope for a brighter future for her.. That may be the naive young girl talking but I refuse to let her future be anything but happy and bright, if I can help it..
I thank Trish for being her angel.. I know she visits her.. I can tell when Ellie gets a visit from my dad and Trish.. Ellie "talks" and laughs differently with both her angels..
I still think about Trish daily. There isn't a day I don't miss my friend... The pain is still there but it isn't as sharp as it once was, the sadness will always be there, lingering, we all lost so much that day..
Just know that this little girl will know, what is now part of her past.. she will know of her moms best friend Patricia Ann Cimaroli Massari..
I miss you still.....

I didn't know Trish ( as her family called her ) but after reading about what happened to her that day it really got to me. I don't know what she went through on her final moments but after reading her being on the phone with her husband & just finding out she was pregnant & her saying "oh my God" really made my heart jump. I worked in the North & South towers many of days & nights installing office furniture in the 90's & also for Marsh. I know I worked on her floor many of times & probably saw her many times. I wish I got to know her just to say "hello" she looked like a beautiful person. I pray for u every night Trish that u & your child are happy in heaven.

I went to Junior High School with Trish. She was such a great person and fun to hang out with. I just found out 6 years ago that she passed. I was trying to reconnect with people on Facebook because I moved to FL and she was one of the people who I wanted to reconnect with. Most of us went our separate ways after I.S. 77 and went to different High Schools. Since I found out the news, I was so devastated. I hope she is in heaven with her child protecting her family and friends. I am going back up in 2 weeks and going to visit the memorial and remember the good times we had in school.

Trish,
Another year has come and gone. Spent the morning with Louie and it was so nice to see him. We laughed and reminisced. 14 years and you're still missed so very much.
I know for myself when I think about this day, time is so foreign to me. It feels like it was just yesterday you were here and then at other times it feels like a lifetime ago.
know that where ever I go I will carry you with me. You're now on my journey with me. I do things with you in mind, new experiences new adventures you're not far away.
Love you and I miss you still.
September 12, 2015

HAPPY BIRTHDAY in Heaven, to my Trish.. words can't express how much I miss you on a daily basis. You were one in a million, a diamond in the rough. it is truly unfair how we are left here without your beautiful smile, bubbly demeanor and larger than life personality. You were my best friend during a time when I needed one most and I can't express how much our time together meant to me.

Trish,
There isn't a day that passes by when you're not on my mind, in my heart, in my prayers..
I miss you more ways than i could possibly count.. I hope you know of the times when I am thinking of you, I hope that it makes you smile, my dearest friend..
Today I had a flashback of a sad feeling, they aren't as frequent, because I try to only think of the good. I know you would want it that way, you would want that for all your loved ones. But sometimes it's just hard to not let those emotions, and memories flood into your head..
I think about all the things you have missed, as this world continues to change you're frozen in time. Missing the big things to the little things in life, and it's just not fair.. You will always be one of my best friends, part of the family.
You are thought of and missed daily. Life is a little less magical without you in it.. I wish you were here to share in this journey we are all on; now without you, it's a path which has been darkened by your absence.
I'm not sure how much time we have until we see each other again, but please look over your family & friends until we are all able to be together again one day.
You are missed with each passing day my dear Trish...
with love Always.
I miss you still

Trish,
One would hope that each year it would get easier to handle losing you, but it doesn't. It's changed forms over the years, as I'm not crying as much as I used to- but the pain is forever present.. That day has been burned into my soul- but the memories I have of you, and the time shared with you overcome all that sadness, all that heartache.
It doesn't make me miss you any less- actually the total opposite- it makes me miss you more as I wish we had more wonderful memories.
You have been such an inspiration in my life and I could never thank you enough for being the wonderful person you were while you walked this earth- and I continue to thank you for your spirit being a huge presence in my life after your passing. You my dear, dear friend were one in a million. I have yet to find someone that could compare to your heart and soul. You are forever missed.
Thank you for continuously being with me on my journey.

I never met you, but lived your story through my husband (your brother in law) Michael Massari. He has kept your memory alive and holds you in his heart always. Every year on September 11 his heart saddens. Its like it just happened. Today, on the eve of the 911 anniversary I pray for your family and friends. that they find peace in their hearts. That they remember you only with joy for you were a wonderful loving woman. I know right now you are in heaven with your baby in the joyful presence of the Lord. RIP Patricia

Happy Birthday in Heaven Trish. There is not a day that goes by that you're not on my mind and in my heart. I miss you with each passing day. It's hard to believe another year has come and gone and we're not able to celebrate your birthday with you. My only wish is that you're dancing and singing away in heaven, happier than you have ever been. I love you dear friend. This was a great day 38 years ago, you were brought into this world to change so many people's lives. You've impacted mine in the short amount of time we were able to spend together and i cherish those days and the memories I have. I miss you still..

Trish,
Happy wedding anniversary in heaven.. I know Louie still holds you so close in his heart, he will adore you until the end of his days i'm sure.
I think of your wedding and how much fun it was- you had that wonderful smile plastered on your face the whole time. even when i pointed out the little tear in your dress you shrugged it off and continued with the conga..
the life of the party ... your special day and I'm so thankful that I got to share that special day with you..
I miss you still...

Thinking a lot about you lately. The song from the movie Frozen makes me cry everytime I hear it. I just can't "let it go.." Thank you for all your signs that I believe you give and letting us know you are still with us in spirit. Love you so much.

Hailey saw your picture today and asked who you are. I told her all about you and she replied, "what a cool person!" She's only 3, but I love the fact that she said that. We definitely did have some good times! Miss you my friend. Until we meet again. Xoxoxo

Trish,
where do i start? i guess it will be similar to the note i left on the flowers that i put on your stoop..
These past 12 years have been a journey unlike anything i thought my life would have been like. Especially the last two years.. it's been road of discovery, forgiveness and light.
I would truly give anything to have you walking around this earth, but i know your spirit is around your loved ones and i continue to thank you for the little signs you send me...
I miss your relationship more than you can possibly know but i am so grateful for the friendships that have been rekindled because of this senseless act... i am grateful for the new people too, for all of them are filling this huge void that was left after you were gone. i can only hope and pray that when its time to see you again all the love, compassion and friendships are able to make my heart whole again..Today was absolutely beautiful, to spend it with Louie and be able to honor your memory....
i love you like a sister and always will... i miss you still
until we meet again my dearest friend

12 years? It feels like it was only yesterday I was at yor sweet 16. Where does the time go? I miss you so much. I wish I had just one more day. Just one. To tell you how I regret how we let college and relationships turn our daily phone calls to a week then a month here and there and rhem a passing hey how ya doing. You have taught me so much about myself I didn't know. You taught me to live life to the fullest and cherish every moment. Forget about the menial every day life tasks and to just take a moment to sing or dance as if no one were watching. I wish I just had a moment to thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. Tomorrow will be tough as it always it. I marks another year without you. I can't wait till we meet up again. I just wish I could wrap my arms around you and give you one last hug. Tomorrow Janis, Jen and Shannon do just that in your memory. You have brought us all together to share a bond no one will ever break. It seems to get harder with each passing year, trying to explain to Kayla your story and having her understand. The older she gets the questions get harder to answer. If you we're here you'd have the right words to tell her. Even though she never met you she feels like she knows you, we all keep you alive in our minds, hearts and in our daily conversations. I hope one day she will understand why mommy cries every year and why she looks at your pictures on a daily basis and just sits there for a while quiet. Closure is hard when time is lost and you never were able to tell the person how much they were valued. Trish I love you so much, thanks for always being my angel and guiding light. I pray to you often and is like to think you are listening. Xoxoxo

Happy Birthday sweet Angel... where has the time gone. So many years have slipped away. I will always remember you this way; smiling, happy, young, beautiful. The last birthday we spent together was with the family, how i miss those times. When you're young you don't realize how to appreciate certain things.. Like time spent together, laughs shared. I would give anything to go back for just one more day... Happy 37th my sweet friend... In my memories we'll always be young together, happy and carefree in our 20s...forever in my heart... i miss you still xoxox

I went to a Native American pow wow at queens county farm tonight. Watching all the dances and hearing songs sung made me somehow think of you. You would have loved it. During the spirit dances I could picture you dancing your behind off. It reminded me of yhe times we went to the dances at Pelligrinis. I miss you so much. I regret losing touch with you, we lost so much time. I hope you save a spot for me so we can one day start where we left off. Love you forever and a day.

Trish,
Happy Wedding Anniversary in Heaven... I was thinking of how beautiful you looked on your wedding day and how much fun we had. You were so meticulous on what you wanted for your special day and you made sure you had it... Your spirit is every where and I think of you daily...
Love you
I miss you still

Trish,
today I am thinking of you, nothing different from any other day really, but it just feels different today. I feel sad but you fill my heart with love and I know this. I miss you so much I wish I could talk to you one more time. how the time has escaped us... how the years have moved on.
I don't know why today I feel sad, all I know is that I'm thinking about you with warm memories instead of sad ones I will overcome this feeling and rejoice in our friendship...
I miss you still.... with love Janis

Trish,
my heart breaks every time i think about you, my soul hurts because part of it is missing since you're no longer here.. i cant express how much you mean to me, you were my best friend when i needed one the most, you taught me so much about myself and how to love others.. You are what drives me, you are my inspiration; to be better, to follow my dreams... on this journey i know i'm not doing it alone, because i know you're with me. There are so many signs I have from you, it gives me comfort that you are my angel... i cant wait for the day we get to see each other again.... my sweet dear friend. i love you like a sister i always have and always will... i miss you still... a friendship that will never cease, memories that will never fade. keeping you alive in my heart and soul. Thank you for making me who I have become today.. I have said it before, this path that I have traveled on for the past 11 years were all with thoughts of you, for you, I only wish we could have shared more memories together. Life experiences, laughs, tears, hugs. What I have come to have to realize is never to take anyone for granted, I'm sorry I never told you how much I loved you. Our walks at juniper play through my mind on sad days and they bring a smile to my face. We have wonderful friends, Lisa, Jen and Shannon have filled part of the hole that was left when you were taken from us. It's amazing how we were all connected to each other. Funny how God brings people together. You're thought of constantly, talked about, remembered fondly. You have left a wonderful legacy. If anything it will show the world how wonderful you were to have such loyal dedicated friends, you are unforgettable. I miss you still...
With much love

Just wanted to send you a message telling you how much I love you and miss you. Kayla looked at your picture the other day and asked me lots of questions about the kind of person you were. She said she is sorry she never got to meet you. I told her that you are with us always and that you are our angel. She said you are the most beautiful angel she knows. She loves your smile and now every time she passes your picture she talks to you. I know you are listening to her because every time she stops talking, which is rare, she has the most amazing smile upon her face. When my little girl was born she weighed 9 pounds 11 ounces. I like to believe that a little bit of you was with her the day she was born. She is very much like you, stops to talk to everyone in the neighborhood and loves to sing and most of all laugh. I will forever be greatful to have had you in my life. Please continue to have your small moments with my baby girl and sending me signs that you are always with us. Its the small things that remind me of you that keep me going everyday. You have taught me so much about myself and life. I love you!
