A friend of mine told me of this site, because her sister died that day also. I think of you every year, and listen for your name. I am a good friend of John Udasco, a friend of your MOM's. Just wanted to say Hi, and I am sure you are missed by many.

To Brian: Ten years in heaven. Happy anniversary. They say God takes broken pottery and makes it like new. Well....looking forward to seeing you in heaven someday. I know if there is one message you could give to us here on earth its this: Get to know jesus, while there is time, because sometimes time runs out. But god saved us from before we were born, and he saw all that ever took place or that will take place from the height of his cross.

3/31/2010-Happy Birthday! Today is Brian’s birthday, he would have been 38!
As I look at his picture on this site I am reminded of the day it was taken.
It was a proud & happy day. It was the day Brian received his Bachelors Degree.
His brothers Eric & Neal had taken off from work to surprise him. You should haveseen the look on his face when he saw us. We were so proud of him. He was the first of my boys to receive a college degree. After the ceremony we went back to Eric’s house, we had a barbeque & went swimming. It was a perfect day.
Brian I miss you so much, especailly today. Love MOM

A co-worker/friend of mine had spoken about a long time friend of hers.(Brian) The Sunday before 9/11 she brought Brian up to my house up on Lake Wallenpaupack Pa. We spent the day out on the water. Brian seemed to have a good time tubing. Afterwards, we all stood around Brian listening to him talk about his job with Cantor Fitzgerald at the World Trade Center. Brian seemed to be a great guy. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I cannot believe it has been three years since your life was taken away so quickly like so many others. Every time I hear of 9/11 I think of you. 9/11 was the day your life was taken away forever. For me 9/11 is the day that Brian died.
I watched you, Eric and Neil grow from babies, into wonderful adults. I, baby sat you guys when you were youngsters. I watched you grow into handsome young men at your Grandmother Theresa's 60th birthday. That day Brian asked me to dance that was the first and only time that Brian and I danced together.
After I moved to Florida, Brian was staying at Grandpa's house and he would call me long distance and we chatted for hours. He was a beautiful person inside and out. To this day I don't want to believe your gone, but you are. You made a lasting impression in my heart. You are in God's hands now. I miss you Brian and will hold on to your memory forever.
Joanne, Eric and Neil, there are no words I can say to ease your pain. Please know that Theresa and Paulie are wacthing over him now and he is in good hands. My love and prayers are with you all.
Love Always, JulieAnne

BRIAN,
WE WERE FRIENDS VERY GOOD FRIENDS YOU WERE SO GOOD TO ME THERE FOR ME AND MADE ME A PART OF YOUR LIFE FOR A SHORT TIME.
I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE SAW EACHOTHER IN PASSING IN THE STATEN ISLAND MALL HAD I ONLY KNOWN THAT WOULD BE MY LAST CHANCE TO TALK WITH YOU :( (AND OUR PHONE CALL)
I WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR OUR TIME TOGETHER.
AND MY PRAYERS FOR WILL, ERIC, AND YOUR MOM WHO I HAVE MET AND FOR YOUR BRO NEAL WHO YOU TALKED ABOUT OFTEN GOD BLESS YOU IN HEAVEN

You will always be in my prayers, Brian, and so will your mom Joanne and all the family. I remember coming over to visit your mom with your Uncle Sal, and many times I'd pick you up out of the playpen and give you your bottle or change a soggy diaper, to give your mom a hand. So many years ago! You were such an adorable baby, always smiling and happy, playing with your toys and always loving to be cuddled! You and Eric were always great together, and when Neal came along, he just made the family even more perfect. Your mom could not have asked for more beautiful children!
When I found out that you were lost in the towers, I was so shocked I could not even speak. I could not imagine you being anywhere near that horror; it was as if I had watched a disaster movie and all I had to do was turn the channel and all would be right with the world. And even now, as I write this, I still want to deny the reality of it.
Since life has put me on a different path, I lost touch with your mom and the family and never got to see all you boys grown into manhood. So you will forever be that darling Baby Brian to me. But grow up you did, and what a beautiful young man you became! I can see your mom in you, and even some of 'Baby Brian' still looked out from behind your eyes.
My heart bleeds for you, Brian--for the beauties of life that you never got to experience, for the years of love you never got to share with your sweet Donna, and for the gorgeous children you never got to leave behind. But you still live within all of us who knew you and loved you, in our memories of you, and in the love you had for all those you held so dear.
Rest easy now, sweet one, and know always that you will never be forgotten--where Love lives, so does Forever.
With love,
Mary

I am a stranger to you but not to NY. I was born there, grew up there and returned there to work with the Red Cross after 9/11. I haveBrian's name on my bracelet and wear it every day so I wont forget the great people who died there and the families who are mourning. God bless you. I am glad I know something about him now.

To the family and friends of Brian Nunez- I am a stranger to you, but I was given a picture of Brian at the Episcopal Cathedral, here in Birmingham.
I closed the shop yesterday to attend memorial services held by the Diocese of Alabama. I was greatly moved to have a face to go with Brian's name.
I and many other Epicopalians are praying to lift you all in prayers for strength, courage and guidance, and that light perpetual shine upon Brian.
May God grant comfort for the loss of this vibrant young man.

Seeing Will, I truly know how much you are loved. I lost my first husband 4 years ago due to a motorcycle accident. So I know the pain of losing not only my husband, but my best friend, and the father of my children. I send my prayers and thoughts to those who love you...

Wow, it took the sister-in-law a long time to write. I still really don't know what to say. Brian, words can't even explain the emptiness that surrounds us. As much as I know your looking over us.. your addorable face, your gentle touch & your sweet complements are gone. I MISS YOU SO MUCH & wish you were here to see your nephew & niece growing up. They will know every little thing about you. Your were not only my brother-in-law but a great friend, too bad I really never showed it. I know I blew that one. You do know I love you forever and think about you everday of my life. The 11 years of knowing you was cut off way too soon.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS

Today has been a year
Since that dreadful summer day
A day that changed our lives forever
the day you went away
I cant describe the pain
We carry in our hearts
I look into your Brother's eyes
His whole world fell apart
If I could take one moment back
Just a word or two
I'd tell you what you meant to us
Those words you never knew
There's one more thing I'd like to share
It's through my child's eyes
to him you are his uncle's Brother
and for America you died.
11 year's ago I meant a bunch of friends that would change my life Forever. One became my husband, one became my brother-in-law and the rest became family. Although it was never said Brian, it was always there in my heart. I only wish it was known when you were alive. Your nephew Justin knows who you are. When he sees your picture he calls BRIAN and then There's Brianna who is going to be our constant reminder of you. Until we meet again........Just Bring it!!!!! Love ya!!!

I miss you and think of your family often hoping that they stay stronge enough to hold each other up through these trying times.

I am truley sorry for you greatest loss, Joanne, Eric and Neal. I remember teaching you boys to make easter eggs when you were just little tike's. I remember long and lengthy telephone conversations with Bryan long distance. He knew what he wanted and had his mind set. I was proud of how well he grew into a man. I never favored any one of the three boys. Though the relationship we had was about school and career choices. Bryan was vey much loved especially by his family. Now his Grandmother watches over him. I'll miss you. I love you all. My heart goes out to you all.

A Sunny September Morning
I lay here on my couch, trying to fall asleep the same way I do every night. Well not every night, just since July because the TV in my bedroom has been broken since then. Every night has been the same since then. I would fall asleep watching television, and Brian would wake me up before he went to work. I would go into my bedroom and fall back asleep, and later wake up for work. I don’t know why I didn’t get a new television, I have the money, I guess I am just a little too lazy sometimes. Every night it was the same routine. It kind of worked out well. I worked late-nights and Brian worked nine to five so we weren’t in each other’s way.
By the end of the summer I kind of thought that Brian was getting mad, or at least annoyed that he woke me up every morning. I actually liked it, because of our different hours we hardly saw each other. Brian was my big brother and by waking me up, I guess he felt like he was looking out for me. At times I think Brian was madder that I fell asleep with the TV on. Heaven forbid the electricity bill was more than last month.
One night about seven months ago, I fell asleep on the couch watching television. I remember this night so well, because it wasn’t unlike tonight at all. Brian woke me up before he went to work.
He shook me and said, “Neal, how are you going to wake up for work.”
I said, “Don’t worry I will go inside”.
I got up went inside and fell back to sleep. The next thing I remember is my cell phone ringing, I didn’t answer it, and I thought that if it were important they would call my house phone. Looking back I realized that this was totally against my normal routine. Normally when I got home from work at night I shut my ringer off because I would get calls from telemarketers all morning. Any one that needed me knew to call my cellular phone
A few minutes later my cell phone rang again; I still didn’t answer it. I was waiting for my house phone to ring before I thought anything of it. Sure enough my house phone rang next. It was my mother, and she was hysterical. She told me to turn on the news. When I put the news on, I saw that a plane had flown into the building that Brian worked in. Mom was telling me to call Brian and find out what was going on. Within the next few minutes, a plane had hit the other tower of the pair.
The next thought in my head was my brother Eric, he was supposed to be flying to Tampa that morning for business. I asked mom about Eric. She said that she couldn’t get in touch with him. Apparently the phone lines were all tied up because of what had happened. Mom couldn’t get a call through to Eric because he lives in New Jersey. When I finally I got Eric on the phone, he was just as bad as mom. His flight had been cancelled and he was home alone. Eric is the oldest of us, but he really doesn’t handle bad situations well.
I knew I had to get to Eric because he was alone. Mom was not alone, so she was ok. I was watching the news and when the first of the two towers collapsed, I ran out of the house. Traffic to New Jersey was horrible, I later found out that the Outerbridge Crossing was closed. Actually all of the bridges to Jersey were closed. While I was sitting in traffic, Eric called me. He told me that the tower had collapsed. Knowing that Tower Two collapsed and Brian was in Tower One I told him not to worry; Brian was in the other tower. Between his tears he was able to explain that now both towers had collapsed. In disbelief I told him not to worry everything would be ok. Sure enough Eric was right, both towers had fallen, but it had been almost two hours and I felt that Brian had enough time to get out.
At this point, I just didn’t want to be alone. Now my sister-in-law was home, so Eric wasn’t alone. I went to the only place I could get to, Mom’s house. When I got there, mom was alone and crying. All I could was hold her and try to comfort her. We were keeping hope alive, but part of us knew that there was no way Brian had escaped.
It had been about four hours now and still no word from Brian. Out of nowhere, my cell phone beeped with a voice message. I knew it was Brian, he was calling to tell us that he was ok. When I heard his voice I felt such a sigh of relief, but it came too soon.
This was the first call that my cell phone received that morning. In all of the confusion and with the phone lines being tied up, I had just got the message. It was Brain calling at 8:51 am. He called to tell us what had happened.
He said, “ A plane had hit the trade center and I am in it, everything is on fire. If I don’t make it out of here, tell everyone that I love them”, and then he said his last choked up goodbye.
After almost seven months, a memorial service, and a funeral, we still don’t want to admit that Brian is no longer with us. On that sunny September morning something stopped me from answering the phone. I don’t know what it was, but now the last words that Brian had for us will be with us forever.
Now even seven months later I still fall asleep on the couch with the television on, hoping that this was all a dream; waiting for Brian to shake my arm and tell me to go inside, because I don’t want to be late for work.
In Loving Memeory of
Brian Nunez

For Brian,
Words can never really say enough ... We knew each other for too long... we never saw eye to eye. We never agreed with each other.
But you know what... none of that ever mattered. No matter what, we were there for each other when the chips were down. We can write people off we call friends very easily after arguments and disagreements... but you can never write off true friends, the ones you call brother. And even though we werent really brothers by blood.. we were brothers in true friendship.
I still cant believe your gone along with so many others. I remember you and all lost everyday and will NEVER FORGET.
I miss you Bro...
Rest in peace...
For Your Family...
Take comfort that he was here with us and gave us such wonderful memories to keep.

It is a terrible feeling to realize your life as you know it is now only memories.
The voice that started and ended my day, the one who took me away from all my troubles, the man I stood by, the man I loved is now only memories.
He gave me his heart and his time, he took care of me and loved me and made me feel special. He made me proud to be part of a wonderful relationship. Things were not always perfect, but no relationship is complete unless you spend time learning about each other, and sometimes, unfortunately, that is with fights.
I feel sorry for people who honestly don’t appreciate and love the people around them. It is an awful feeling to not realize what you have until it’s gone, but I am proud to say that Brian knew I loved him with all of my heart. I am proud to have had an opportunity to stand by his side.
Brian, when you left, you left behind so many people who loved you. I am sorry if I didn’t have more of an opportunity to spend time with your family when you were alive, because now, six months after your death, they have become my inner strength. They help me keep your memories alive.
The years we spent together do not seem like enough time, I wish I could have spent my life with you.
Forever in my thoughts
I love you always

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
