Shannon Fava Obituary
Frank and Shannon Fava would have celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, so Mr. Fava was in a reflective mood this week. He remembered the first time he saw his wife. She was walking into a bagel shop in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. She was 18, and he was shy.
"I had seen her once or twice before, and I just had to talk to her," Mr. Fava said. "I'm a shy guy, but we started talking and just clicked."
What he thought might have been a fling turned into "my first true love," he said. "I watched her grow into a woman."
The woman Shannon Fava became loved to hug their 3-year-old son, Joseph Anthony, rent movies and laugh. Mrs. Fava, 30, worked as an assistant broker for Cantor Fitzgerald and lived in Bensonhurt. Mr. Fava said he can almost still see his wife dancing around the house to whatever is on MTV. He thinks that might be because she called after the plane hit her tower and said, "Tell the baby I'll always be with him, and you."

Shannon. I am your second cousin, Marge. Your dad and I were cousins. Although we never met, I remember a number of times how your dad spoke about you and how much your mom and dad loved you. Living here in New York, I was able to see the World Trade Center, and now the Freedom Tower every day and immediately thought of you. As I am sending my note to you, I am listening to the ceremony taking place now with the reading of the names. I love you Shannon and will forever keep you in my heart. Sleep well.

Dear Shannon, i was assigned your name for a class project. We were instructed to write a card with your name on it and some of your characteristics. I just wanted to share with you or anyone else who reads this what i put. I think that you were caring, considerate, fun, loving, a good mother and wife, and a overall beautiful person. I hope you can rest in peace and know that you are loved and you are missed.

Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, I often thought of you. I do know that your parents couldn't have asked for a better, sweet daughter. So many times since that day I have thought of you quite frequently and as I watched the new tower being built you were in my thoughts every day. During school this morning everyone was talking about 9/11 and I was sharing your story. Rest in peace dear Shannon.

Youll be missed.

Today for my school, I had to make a floating lantern for a 9/11 victim. I was given the name of Shannon, your name. I was told to research you and so I came upon this sight. I nearly started crying when I read the beautiful things your friends and family said to you and I came across a poem that your god daughter had written for you called, "Shannon my Sunshine". So I decided to draw a sunshine on the lantern and put the title of the poem in quotes on it. It moves me that your family and friends still talk to you here. I'm sad that I never got the chance to know u as a person even though we lived far from each other, you seemed like a wonderful woman. I'll never forget you.

Hi Aunt Shannon. So I'm at work and just heard "Let The Music Play" and as always I think about you. I have a new tattoo of your name with beautiful purple around it. Joey is about to graduate High School and just got his first car. He asks more about you now that he is older & I never hesitate to answer. I know you are looking over us as we are all going through changes in our lives. Just know we all think about you. I finally brought myself to the memorial and the museum and it was harder than I ever imagined. Continue to shine bright and be our guiding light. I love you!

Hi Aunt Shannon,
I miss you terribly. I talk to Joey about you all the time. I cannot believe how amazing he is turning out to be. He will always have me to remind him what an amazing mother you are and how much you love him. He is more of a brother than a cousin. I am moving back to moms house, at least I will be closer to him now. Your my light in the dark so keep shining bright. Love youu <3

Hi Shannon,

Rest in peace. Forever in my heart. Dennis, I wish you would contact me. I would really like to know how Rosie and you are doing and to hear about your open heart surgery. I do think of you both and send you my love. Please get in touch with me.

I am a stranger who to this day never heard of Shannon Marie Fava. But I went to the 9/11 memorial today and when I stopped and looked down I saw her name. I was in shock because out of all those names I saw hers. It was as if I was drawn to that spot right there. You see, my name is Shannon Marie too. My thoughts and prayers will always be with your family as I will now never forget her.

Dearest Rose and Dennis,
You probably dont remember me but I am Maria Elenas daughter in law. Not long before that fateful we sat next to hear at the BINGO hall you and Dennis volunteered. it was such an enjjoyable night. I can only imagine how much love was generatrd that night. God Bless you and Dennis and God bless that beautiful angel that touched my life with her laughter I have never forgotten her. She will always be a part of my life. Maria loved her too very much and was saddened to hear the new fortunalty Shannon has a friend to play BINGO with her in heaven, Maria passed about four years ago so we have two angels...thank you for letting me share in your lives. CASSAUNDRA.

Dear Dennis and Rosie,
I think of you often, and of Shannon and her family. I watched 9/11 ceremonies and heard Shannon's name read. I am planning to go to Ground Zero before the end of the year to see the memorial that is there.
I don't know how to get in touch with you, so, if you read this, please send me an e-mail. [email protected].
I would really like to hear from you. It's been a long time and many things have happened. I hope I will hear from you some day soon.
Your cousin Margaret (Aunt Viola's daughter)

Dear Dennis, Not sure if you remember me but I am your cousin Barb Heineman Kopec daughter of Buddy and Agnes Heineman, Brooklyn New York. My mother Agnes was speaking to Aunt Jane Pinckney yesterday and mentioned your daughters name. (I had heard that you had a daughter who was a victim of the 9/11 attacks but was not sure how to contact you.) Last evening I suddenly thought to Google Shannon's name and found this site. I just want to say how truly sorry I am for your loss. Please know that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and I pray that our heavenly father will bring you peace and comfort in the memories of your beautiful daughter Shannon. Sincerely your cousin, Barbara

So I was watching the 10 year anniversary on Sunday and I saw your smiling, beautiful face. I just sat there saying OMG no not Shannon, please no. It was a slash back of all my happy memories of you and I we had together. Hanging out on the Avenue, 7 Eleven, going to your engagement party (you were so HAPPY), going to the City and getting real jobs! I remember how excited you were when you got the job, we went Clothes shopping for are new jobs, we felt so important, LOL! I also remember the first WTC bombing and you called me crying and all scared and not knowing what to do next. I waited you to get to my office, watching the minutes go by and you finally made it, covered in dirt, we hugged, I was never so happy to see you, and we drove home. I so wished you never went back into that building after that day! I don’t remember how we drifted apart and didn’t stay in touch, how I so regret that. I would have loved to have seen you walked down that aisle and marry the man of your dreams (you both were so made for each other, you must of look so Beautiful), and to bring a child into the world, you are a MOM…OMG I am so proud of you and truly miss you my Friend! I sit hear crying typing this wishing I could go back in time and make sure we didn’t let our daily lives let us drift and make that extra effort to stay in touch! I know you are an ANGEL watching over all your family members and keeping them safe. God Bless!!!You will never be FORGOTTEN!!!!!!

I selected a Flag at the Broomfield Colorado Memorial field and Shannon's name was on it. All victims had a flag and it was my honor to select hers. My thoughts and prayers are with her family! Renee' Kozisek Sereff

It's been ten years but let it seems as if it was just yesterday and the memorys I have of you I keep alive to help me get by and I can still remember the last time I seen u as if it were just a few minutes ago you came to my moms (Your Aunt Toniann's) flower shop and you got me a big bouncy ball that u sit and bounce on and the finger skateboards with the finger bmx bikes and a big half pint ramps to go with it that's when that first came out I remember that day all so well how fun it was and what we talked about I remember all this all so well because we really get to see much of each other because you lived in Ny and I lived in California and what hurt the most that day and i don't know if anyone knows it but when you had to go I stoped playing and gave u a big hug and kiss and really tryed to hold back my tears as you were walking out the shop doors to your car parked right out the front doors and I sat there watching you pull away not knowing that that might be the last time i see you but my heart told me so but did not know it at the time it was a few years before but I was just a kid but know I am a grow man and have a beautifully family and have three beautiful daughters one that's named Austen she's four and one named Kaley that's three and the last one is Bella she's six months she and Kaley are very smart and very advanced for there age I wish that had the time to get to know you I'm sure you see and know them very well as you watch over all of us on earth well I miss and love you very much forever and always in my heart and soul and in my memorys and thoughts love always your only godson

I think of you all the time Shannon. After 10 years, it doesn't get easier. You were a very sweet girl and I will always be truly saddened by this tragedy.

I met you one fun night at the VFW bingo hall where your mom and dad volunteered. It was great sitting there laughing wit you and your family, we shared stories about your son and your husband and how you were going to start a new job when you got back home. You made an impression on me and you were such a wonderful person. i feel an emptieness when this day comes I think of you and you family always. God is lucky to have you there with him.
