Jacquelyn Sanchez Obituary
When she called her mother as smoke rose around her on the 104th floor at 1 World Trade Center, Jacquelyn Sanchez said she was scared, that she could hardly breathe. Then she asked for her baby.
"She asked me 'Where's my baby?' " her mother, Kim Coleman, said. "I told her, 'I have your baby. Just get out of there.' "
At 23, Ms. Sanchez had a baby boy, Cedric Pitt Jr., a full-time job as compliance assistant with Cantor Fitzgerald and a strong desire to be a criminal defense lawyer. She attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice on weekends in pursuit of a bachelor's degree and planned to go to law school, her mother said. "That was my child," Ms. Coleman said. "She felt like she needed to save the world."
Ms. Sanchez lived with her son and boyfriend in Manhattan. She had planned a big first birthday celebration for her son, who turned 1 year old on Sept. 17. She had sent out 50 invitations, hired a clown, ordered a cake and had T-shirts made. When the day came, a smaller scale party took place in a hallway of her building with children from the neighborhood. There was no clown but they still got the T-shirts. They read: "I partied at C.J.'s first birthday."

Twice a week I head into work at One World Trade Center. During meetings I sit in a small booth that faces a concrete wall that is covered in small momentos and signatures from the loved ones of 9/11victims. I've been seeing "Jacquelyn Sanchez" written on that wall for four years now, and in a spontaneous moment I decided to search her name up. Her story here and the beautiful words left by her friends and family are so moving - my condolences to you all. It's beautiful to see after all these years you remember her so lovingly.

Jackie I was thinking about you today. I just found this page and I just want to let you know that have been thinking of you through out the years. I was so proud of you when I found out you worked in the World Trade Center. I was supposed to go work there in the bank in the basement. I met you at NSU in 1995 and will never forget you. I enjoyed hanging out with you and Jeanette. You had such a beautiful smile and personality. God Bless you and I will always keep you and your family in my prayers. RIP Beautiful...Love Shakira

It was really good going to you grave today, It was such a beautiful day, your brother left you some beautiful roses. I can't believe that it's been 19 years and your son is about to be 20 years old. He is now in his 2nd year of college and is now driving. You would be so proud of him. Know that I Love you.
Love you Always,

As I awoke today Jackie you, your family and son were on my mind. We met on Norfolk State University’s campus in 1995 and we lived in the Twin Towers freshman dorm. Your smile and laugh was so infectious. I pray your family is well and you will never be forgotten.

I have known you since you were in your mother's womb. I watched you grow to be a cute little toddler with chubby cheeks and a beautiful smile. Then you blossomed into a beautiful young woman both inside and out. I remember you walking through 152nd street coming home from work. When people spoke to you you replied and flashed that beautiful smile of yours. Your presence is truly missed.

Good Morning my beautiful Daughter, I Love and Miss you so much I woke up so early this morning with you on my mind.

I know that you are keeping your good eye on him. Everyone here is doing well and miss you so much. You would be so proud of your Sister and Brothers they have really stepped up there game. Love you Baby Girl. Mom

Hey Beautiful One! I haven't stop by lately because I haven't been in the area, hopefully soon. Today probably won't be a good day, just a day. I will be trying to make it productive, but knowing how I feel right now, it not going to happen. Breaking from social media for the entire day because just like tv, everything that I lost you to will be posted. hey, I got 3 more weeks and I get to really venture into my life as I really see fit. Hopefully I get to run out to Ca or ATL see some cousins just to break from this fast pace city life for minute and plan my next move before 2020. I so wish you was here, you are, I know you are, but I mean here...... I love you, I still see those facial expressions and hear your voice. I miss you so much.

Hello my Loving Daughter another year has come and gone and on Monday Sept 17th your Son will be 18 years old. a grown man. What can I say but thank you for his life. As I sit here writing this I think back on this day 9/11/2001 and how I was holding your son in my arms and now he is holding me in his arms and keeping me grounded along with your brothers and sister. I went down to the museum for the first time and as I looked for your picture you stood right out as if to say here I am Mom. I love and miss you so much. Mom

Hello Jackie,
I can't believe its been 15 years. Your son has grown to be a handsome young man. On the anniversary of 9/11 each and every year I can't go about my day until I hear them say your name at the memorial service. I know you're brightening heaven with that beautiful smile of yours. May you continue to sleep in paradise.

Hey beautiful one. Sorry a day late, but I was always like that...sometimes. I was attending a film festival. But I took the time to hear your name being read and capture it off the TV and posted it. Crazy me. I know. I am GRINDING hard at what I do. Might be headed to MV today of tomorrow, trying to figure it out. Been trying to get away so I can write. Was inspired of what I saw at this film fest. Which was amazing and well put together. So I will continue to make it happen and focus harder. If you was here body, you now brother be still trying to impress you that I am bigger than Diddy, right??!! LOL I see that look you giving me. I be over to the memorial soon. Just not into the fan fare.

This is not the only time I think of you. When I am about to do something idiotic like run up on Macon Street, but I just remembered how WELL and how GOOD I got things. So yeah I grew instead of being held down years ago, which I knew better. I just THANK GOD I have you in my heart and mind to remind me I always need better for me, not a burden for me. Things are poppin. Oh, you boy Diddy about to thrown down in BK, it gonna be CRAY CRAY! I know you would have enjoyed in. Well, i will keep reaching for the moon and make things GREATER! I LOVE YOU, I ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

I can't believe that even after 14 years it I am still shedding a tear, but know that they are good tears. Just want you to know that your Son has been holding me down just like you, your Sister and your Brother did. I hope that when your uncle passed on in July that you were able to meet up with him. I Love You and miss you so much. Mom

I can't lie, but I i wish you could be here in the physical form. You helped me make the right decision, be aware of my choices. i am still not perfect, but only if you was here I know I work to be better (which I am anyway), but with you raising that eye brow and giving me that look, that I always remember, I would agree "YEAH I BETTER THING THAT ONE OVER AGAIN" Wise before your years. As you can see I left the BX, leaving BK...where I will be is only between YOU and ME! I plan on taking my THANG to the NEXT LEVEL, I have to becuse if you was here, you would tell me "You still can surpass P Diddy"...My reply would be "YEAH!? WATCH ME" LOL! I love you, I love you!

I watched you grow from a chubby cheeks baby to a beautiful young woman. Your were my son's first crush.

Continue to Sleep in Paradise. Love you and miss you.

I remember Jackie as one of my childhood friends while she visited her great grandmother in Emporia Va. Jackie, myself and her sister along with my sister would play together and compare our Southern drawl to their New York accent. Words can't express how I felt when I heard of her death. Ive always prayed that all of my childhood friends would all be very successful and achieve every goal they ever set...well, dear Jackie you have reached the ultimate goal far more than any of us here on Earth...continue to rest in peace, my friend, we will meet again someday.

Whats been running in my head is that day I told you "I love you" as we departed from hanging out, and you so quickly responded "Love you too" but then caught yourself and laughed and said "Bye Erik"...HaaHaa! Cute little moment. I surely do miss you. I been grinding hard and it's has it payoffs, then others days not so great, but I stay at it, because I love what I do. I continue to share it with you because I always cared about what you thought of me from the first time you didn't get the right amount in your check! Glad your didn't! love you and miss you
Beautiful one, truly.

To my Darling Daughter
Not a day goes by that your dad and I don't think about you. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading all the kind words that your friends and people have written. My thought on today is that you are trutly missed. You would be so proud to know that I am now singing in the choir which gives me so much peace in my life. As for your son who will be turning 9 in three days is growing up so well. Just like you he does not leave my side. You would also be so proud of your Sister she too has a son and the scary thing is that her son looks just like her as your son looks like you. It's like having you two all over again. You would also be proud of your Brother who is in his last year of college. I am so proud of him, he seems to be following in your foot steps. I Love you so much and may you continue to rest in the arms of our God.

To the memory of Jacquelyn S.; you were a great spirit, a person who wanted soooo much out of life...
For in my memories I remember walking to school with you, talking about how we wanted our lives to be, visioning ourselves removed from the grime streets of 152nd street...in these memories, I remember, you a beautiful, unique, and inspiration young lady; strong, ambitious, and caring.
To you I say, your son is covered by GOD's love and in that know that he will carry on your deepest desires of success and living a joyous and fulfilling life...
To Jacqueline's mother, may GOD continue to be a blessing to you, as you raise Jacqueline's son, instill in him the great values you instilled in Jacqueline and he too will be successful and a great spirit...Walk in knowing that Jacqueline is "HOME" with the "GREAT I AM" and they are watching over you (and your family)...
Sincerly, Felicia Campbell

It has been almost 8 years since September 11, 2001 and I still cannot believe that Jackie is gone from us. I worked with Jackie at the law firm of Armienti and Brooks, she was a beautiful intelligent young lady, she was like a little sister to me. We had a lot of good times together. I know for sure that she is in heaven. Jackie's family to honor her best is by raising her son to be the best that he can be inspite of his mom not being here physically.
God Bless and remember we loved her well but Jesus loved her best.
Sincerely, Felisia Rolston.

I was so sorry to hear about this tragedy. Jackie and I met years ago through a mutual friend. After we lost Charmaine (may she RIP), my family and I lost contact with Jackie. Jackie was a very sweet person and always had a smile on her face. She was a great person to know. It's just so hard to believe that someone who I knew was directly affected by this terrible tragedy. May GOD BLESS this family and let them know that they have my deepest sympathy. Jackie I know that you are surely missed by everyone.

Jackie, it will soon be five years since you were taken from us. I miss you and think of you often. I miss our phone calls of family gossip and pure nonsense and giggling. CJ looks so much like you. It isn't the same not having you around, because I do notice the absence of your laughter. Your laugh would be the only that would make me laugh even when I was at my most frustrated. Reading other entries on this page helped me to realize that your laugh touched a lot of people. You are my cousin and my best friend. I hope you have plenty of sour green apples in Heaven and ask Aunt Louise to cook up some of her spaghetti sauce for us!

Jack,
I miss you and every time I see CJ, my heart is glad as well as sad. Sad only because you are not here physically to she him grow.
I know that as his guardian ANGEL, you are looking out for him. I also know that you are looking out for all of us. We truly thank you.
God has an beautiful ANGEL, and I guess that is the reason he took you so young. I miss your smile and laughter. I know that one day I will see you in the rapture. Then I will see your face and hear your laugher.
I love you and miss you.

DEAR JACKIE,
IT'S NOW 1/3/05 AND I STILL THINK OF YOUR SMILE WHEN YOU, NET AND I USED TO GO TO DIFFERENT SHOWS. I STILL REMEMBER HOW YOU USED TO TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS. TO THIS DAY I THINK YOU'RE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE LASTED SO LONG. ALTHOUGH NET AND I ARE OVER, I STILL THINK OF YOU AS MY SISTER AND AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON WHO WAS BLOSSOMING INTO A LOVELY YOUNG ADULT, INSIDE AND OUT. I STILL KEEP YOUR PICTURE IN MY CAR BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW MY GUARDIAN ANGEL. SOMEDAY WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. UNTIL THEN, KEEP SMILING. I MISS YOU!
P.S. MAY YOUR FAMILY GROW STRONGER WITH EACH DAY THAT PASSES.

To the family of Jaquelyn P. Sanchez.
On 11 September 2002, I sang at a memorial tribute to those who died in 2001. I received a small flag and tag with Jaquelyn's name, and I have preserved both of these tokens. Since that date, I have wondered about Jaquelyn's life, and only today, learned how to find her. I am a hospital volunteer, and today, Jaquelyn's spirit and the tokens were with me at my local hospital memorial service.
No, I do not know any of you, but rest assured, you are with me in spirit and concern, particularly today.

Jackie and I knew each other for five years. We both worked together on 104th floor of the first tower at Cantor Fitzgerald. She was the most sweetest, kindness, and generous person I have ever known. When she found out she was pregnant with C.J. she was so happy and I shared in that happiness with her. C.J. your momma loved you very much and it is of no surprise to me that the first person she asked for during her ordeal was you, she loved you so much and will watch you from heaven and protect you always. I think of jackie often and miss her dearly, but I kow she is in a better place. To her family, her mom Kim...You are always in my thoughts and in my prayers.

I met Jackie at our very own Twin Towers at Norfolk State University in August of 1995. Even though we had different backgrounds we became good friends. I often think of a time that Jackie went to my family's home in Virginia and her first time seeing cotton, she was so amazed. My family saw her as the beautiful spirit that she is. Jackie was always so full of life. When she left Norfolk State University we lost touch but I would check on he through a mutual friend. On September 11, 2001 I didn't know that she worked in the towers, I found out days later from a friend that she was there. My only comfort was to know that Jackie has always been a person that was loved and I know she is with God watching and caring for us all. Life is a delicate and beatuiful thing that should be allowed to shine. To Jackie's family and friends I send tribute for your courage, blessings for your spirit, and love for your broken heart. May God Bless You and Keep You always.

I met Jackie, her mother, and boyfriend only once on trip I took to NY with my husband in 2000. It was the trip we took to meet eachother's families after being married for two years. I was nervous to meet Jackie because my husband spoke of her like she was his sister. She wasn't a sister, but a best friend that my husband cared about tremendously. When I look back, I had no need to be nervous. Jackie was so kind to me that my anxiety of the meeting quickly deminished. I understood why my husband Jawanza loved this young woman so much. In just a short while I could tell the wonderful spirit that she held and how much she cared about my husband as well. I only wish we were able to make it back to NY many times before Jackie left the earth so I could get to know her better. Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the memorial for Jackie. I sent my condolences with Jawanza and left a candle burning in Texas in her honor. To Jackie's family you are in my prayers. Jackie is missed. God Bless You.

Jackie, I think of you quite often. I've known you for years and even though we only hung together on a few occasions, I miss you. I can picture your smile so vividly and it make me smile when I think of you. I remember the Skate Key days, the Bergtraum years, profiling at the Jacob Javits Center and of course the night we went to the Tunnel. I remember when trouble started before we could get in and you were the first to run. You immediately went to catch a cab to go home. That's why it's hard for me to imagine that your gone. I just knew that you were one of the first people, if not the first one, to make it out. It's still hard to believe that your gone. Until we meet again......

It sent chills through my spine as I called home on September 11th wondering if everyone was alright. When I received the news about Jackie I held on to hope for so long that she would call and everything would be alright. Although Jackie and I bumped heads a few times, we are alike in many ways and I always have and always will hold a special kind of love in my heart for Jackie. We've shared so many Skate Key / Grant's Tomb memories together along with other friends....Memories that are very dear to me and are held close to my heart. If you can hear me Jackie know that you're missed and loved and although your time was short you made the best of it. Until we meet again..........Kia.

I had the privilege of meeting Jackie a couple of times. The first time we met was when she came to visit Tee and Keri at VSU our freshman year. You could tell that she was someone you would want as a friend forever. They spoke highly of their friend. I know they will miss her everyday of their lives. May God Bless her family, especially her son CJ (who is adorable), and friends. Remember memories keep Jackie close to you in spirit and thought. She will always be in your hearts today and forever. THINKING OF YOU IN DEEPEST SYMPATHY! FOREVER IN MY PRAYERS!

I did not know Jackie in Burgtraum But I met up with her at our friends B-Day dinner last year, but from then on i've heard about her and how she would always say "I cant go I have a son" even though I believe in the opposite, I gave her much her for that, and I miss her too. But I miss her most for C.J and her boyfriend. I had the pleasure of meeting them both at a b-day party, I remember thinking he is sooo beautiful my heart just went out to him, I know he must have been jackies world, and I know he misses his mommy too. but Im sure no one will let him forget her.
Rest in Pease Jackie
You are truly missed.

This is so very funny, I got this e-mail today, because on Saturday night my friend of 10 years visited me in a dream. In my dream Jackie was an angel, but what can I say is that she was in angel on earth. In this dream we were just talking like old time and it felt like Jackie was still here with me. But when I woke up I realized that Jackie was not there, but she will always be in my heart and whenever I need to talk to her she will be there to listen. Because one thing about me and Jackie is that we love to talk about things and she is a good friend she was alway there when I needed her and I guess she will alway be there for me still . Jackie I love you and I miss you.

Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, where do I begin? She has been in my life for the last 11 years and although she is not here in the physical form, she will continue to to be a valuable part of my life. Words cannot express the bewilderment and shock when I think about not having Jackie here with me. I often find myself saying Jackie would have loved this or Jackie should be here enjoying this with me. However, she has definitely left a lasting impression that will never be forgotten. From going to Skate Key and being part of Murry Bergtraum High School's "Big Willies," to applying for college and starting a family, we have done it all together. CJ is definitely a blessing. Jackie is written all over that boy. From looks to attitude. I was so excited when she called me to ask if I would be CJ's Godmother. I accepted and was honored just to be asked. The memories of her are so vivid in my mind. I will always love her and I am so thankful that I was able to make her acquaintence. May you Rest in Peace Jackie. Love Ya, Tee Tee

Losing Jackie has been a great loss to deal with; however, not everyone is as blessed as I, to have had her as one of my closest friends for the past 10 years. While Jackie's no longer here to celebrate the holidays, party, and take quick trips, her spirit definitely lives on. My friends and I often quote Jackie's witty one liners, and reminisce on some of the happiest and formative years of our lives. Who would have imagined that she would not be here to celebrate CJ's birthday, as that was the next major event for us. Who would have imagined that Jackie wouldn't be here to celebrate her 24th birthday, and help plan our holiday get together. Who would have imagined that before I could respond to yesterday's email, that Jackie wouldn't be here tomorrow to receive it. I am so happy that I can say I remember Jackie when... I love you girl!

I remember my friend JACKIE her encouraging words, her last kiss on my check before she announced to us in Harlem hospital emergency room that she had a new job in the world trade towers. She was an angel on the earth, I use to have trouble with my son Jackie always took time to ask how's he doing, and then she would surprisingly make me feeling better about him. Jackie always made time for me a person with no formal education or you can say I felt bad that I had no college education. She worked two jobs, went to college, and had time for the people like me the ordinary joes. When I heard about this angel being hurt I became physically sick at the memorial IHAD THE FLU THAT DAY. ALL OF MY FRIENDS SAID I COULDN'T GO SO I SENT MY FRIEND RENETHA she was there to represent me she told me Jackie would understand that you are sick. It has been six months I still looking for things on my friend who I LOVED AND CONSIDER HER MY DAUGTHER AND I WILL MISS HER VERY VERY MUCH. JACKIE WAS A KIND, GENTLE PERSON ALWAYS TELLING ME HOW HER MOTHER WAS HER HEART AND HER BROTHER,AND SISTER WAS WHAT MAKES HER LIFE COMPLETE. TO THIS DAY I CRY FOR MY FRIEND AND HER CHILD AND SIBLINGS AND HER MOTHER WHO I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMFORT, THIS IS BECAUSE I'M NOT COMFORT STILL. ONE DAY I WILL FIND THE COURAGE TO GO TO HER FAMILY, AND TELL THEM ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS SHE HAD DONE FOR ME AND MINES. I STILL FIND MY SELF HURTING, AND REMEMBERING HER LAST KISS ON MY CHECK. SHE NEVER CAME TO HARLEM HOSPITAL WITHOUT LOOKING FOR ME. EVERYDAY I CRY STILL, EVEN AFTER SIX MONTHS. ILOVE THIS CHILD LIKE SHE WAS MY OWN. A CHILD WHO THINKS OF HER MOTHER'S FEELINGS FIRST THIS IS AN ANGEL ON OUR WILD WORLD. JACKIE TOLD ME THAT SHE WORK TWO JOBS AND WENT TO SCHOOL SO HER MOTHER MS. COLE WHO HAD YOUNG CHILDREN WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING HER WAY IN LIFE. HOW MANY YOUNG PEOPLE FEELS THIS WAY IN THIS WORLD WHEN EVERYONE FEELS SO SELFISH ABOUT LIFE. WHEN I READ WHAT HER MOTHER SAY I SAY TO MYSELF THIS WAS MY FRIEND, ADOPTED DAUGHTER AN ANGEL ON EARTH. I DROPPED HER OFF ON NIGHT AFTER WORK, HER WAS SO HUMBLE, AND SHE WAS SO GOOD, I LOVE HER, I STILL CRY EVERYDAY. TO HER FAMILY I WRITE KEEP YOUR HEADUP SHE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW SHE LOVE YOUALL. STRANGE I CAN STILL HEAR HER LAUGHTER, AND FEEL THAT LAST KISS. I PLAN TO GO SEE HER SON, AND FAMILY SOON. I NEED TO TELL HER MOTHER HOW SHE WORK AND LOVE HER, SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF HER MOTHER BEENING ABLE TO RAISE THEM ALL ANOTHER STRONG BLACK FEMALE, MAY THE LORD BLESS THIS FAMILY. ILOVE MY FRIEND JACKIE AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER. SHE WAS MY WIND BEANEATH MY WINGS.

Jackie,
You are so missed in our house but will never be forgotten. Thank you for blessing us while you were physically here. You are always here spiritually. You, your moms and CJ are the reasons why we moved to the building. Just like you always wanted - Lil' Myles and CJ will grow up tight together. Thank you everything that you have done and are still doing for all of us. You are always going to be in our hearts and minds. Always, and not just because you look like your cousin. We were just looking at you the other day on video and you were telling us your plans. It was good seeing. Actually, I know you were here watching it with us.
We will miss you. I can't say it enough. Thank you very much for accepting me into your family. We love ya.

We are so sorry for your loss of Jacquelyn. What a brave and loving mother. 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

Just the mention of a fellow New Yorker, caught in the turmoil of this devastating world, captures the essence of my heart. Being a part of Derrick and a connection to my roots, my foundation, I send my blessings that in all, you her family and friends, will prevail in this moment of sorrow. It is unfortunate that some must leave for others to stay. In all I know we as a country will surcome to the measures necessary to bring safety and serenity back to this land. Until then, hold hands and be your brother's keeper. In numbers there is strength. May "The Almighty" bless you and keep you in "His" care.

My memories of Jackie are those of a little girls. We played childish games at our grandmother's house when we were small. Like my father, god chose to take her early. As my father is my guardian angel, I know that she is CJ's. Her love and spirit will always be alive and always be with us.
-God bless her and her family

You never know if tommorrow is promissed - so we all must live our lives to the fullest and give thanks and praise. I knew Jacqui when she was a baby - she was my younger cousin who would come over to my Grandma's house when I was just a little boy. It's profound how time passes so quickly - little boys and girls become men and women in a flash.
God Bless Jacquelyn Eternally!!! My heart goes out to her Mom and her Son...

My deepest sympathy. I did not know Jacquelyne, but we share a common family name. This was not fair, as I'm sure Jacquelyne was looking forward to the next 50 years of her life. America will be safe again someday.
