Twenty years now ... And with each anniversary, I take a little time to remember quietly and to think of you and your family. I remember your breezy, sunny way of living life,first at our school, although I didn't know you so well there, then later at law school, and then during those later years in London where, by complete co-incidence, we worked together in publishing. I tell my children that I knew someone from the Twin Towers, that it was you, and that we must always remember what that day will always mean to so many families. With my best wishes once again to your family, Jonathan Doyle xx

I did not know you MIchele, but we had a mutual friend in common, Liam Yardy. You were supposed to have dinner and drinks with him when you got home from the conference in Manhattan. I do think of you often and hope your family is going from strength to strength.

Another year and another moment of quiet reflection, and of a hope that your family is doing OK. I have my youngest daughter staying with me this coming weekend. She was born a week or two after that fateful day. I tell her about it at this time of year, about how it is important to remember that real people lay behind the news stories we have grown accustomed to reading. I tell her that I knew one such 'name' and that it helps me to understand what was lost by so many that day. With best wishes to your family if they read this. xx

Watching my two daughters grow up, with me at their side, makes me feel so sad knowing that Michele missed out on this.
It also makes my heart ache that her parents continue courageously without her, I don't know where they find the strength to do this.
Your children are a part of you and to lose them, especially under the circumstances must be difficult to comprehend.
When I'm feeding my baby, I often think of her.........I don't know why, I guess it's because it's quiet and calm and I have time to focus. I still wish I could change things, or ease their pain.........it saddens me to think of two children growing up without their mummy and a family missing their daughter, sister, niece, aunt.
I still keep wondering why. So unfair. So unnecessary and so very tragic.

God bless you Michele and your family always. I shall never forget you, you were such an amazing person both beautiful inside and out. I take faith and comfort in that one day we will all meet again.
Finding the right words to write is not very easy but I shall always remember our fun, happy times at IIR back in the 90's and the great conversations we had. I will always remember the IIR summer parties that were always great fun and how you made them such fun. I know you are smiling down on us all Michele and looking after your children every step of the way.
I would like also to say hello to your mum who phoned me the day it happened when I was working on reception at Bressenden Place, I wish with all my heart I could have said more words of comfort, we both did not want to believe that Michele was there in the WTC. Mrs Du Berry one day everything will be alright we will all meet again that I believe so strongly, your Michele is with you every day, we just can't see them but their spirit lives on forever. Together we shall all be fine and hold on to our happy memories until we meet again and we will X

So much coverage of 09/11 this year. I cannot believe it was ten years ago, my memories of that day are still so vivid: crowded around computer monitors at IIR in Bressenden Place watching CNN coverage, until the internet crashed, and then the news filtering down that Michelle had been running an event on one of the top floors.
My strongest memory of Michelle was her describing how curling up in a chair with her baby was the best way to wind down after a stressful day. She was the epitome of modern woman - the ultimate professional but a loving mother. It pains me beyond belief that she has not been able to watch her children grow up as I have mine.
Michelle, you are still so very much in the thoughts, hearts and prayers of so many. God Rest.

Today, yet again, I have been thinking of Michelle. I knew her at school, then at college and finally at work for a while. Not that well though and, now, it seems long, long ago. But, I knew her well enough to be moved when I read her name here and in other places where the names of those who died that day are remembered. And I keep remembering on this day. And on other days when it feels important to take a moment and think of those around her who cannot – and will not – ever forget. My thoughts are with them too. Quietly, and from a distance. JD

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Michele Beale.
Although we did not have the opportunity to meet you Michele, we did meet Stewart, Joe and Lizzie this past summer. What a wonderful family. Our feelings of 9-11 became much more personal because of them. What beautiful children you have. God Bless you and your family and one day we will meet.

Dearest Michele,
Eight years have now passed to the day - you are always in my thoughts and prayers, I also pray for the strength of your Mum, Dad, children, Stewart, family & friends.
I will always remember your beautiful smile and how you made me laugh so much, you were always there to help, you were a wonderful boss and above all a first class friend. Shall always remember our days at centre point and Bressenden place, Victoria. I would also like to say how much I am thinking of your mum Mrs Du Berry who I spoke with on the phone just after it happened (I was the receptionist at IIR), I so longed to give you words of comfort but please have faith that one day we will all meet again, I believe with all my heart that we will. Much love, God bless our Michelle, ~ Sandy Bush X

I worked with Michele some 10 years ago at IIR in London. We were also fellow Essex girls ofter travelling home together on the train after a night out. She was a fabulous boss and great friend. I was very upset to hear about her death in this tragic disaster. My thoughts and best wishes go out to her family and friends.
God Bless x

It is over 2 years ago already, but it seems like yesterday that I found out that Michele had died in the WTC attacks. I worked with Michele in 1999 and 2000 when she was a Regional Manager for IIR and I was a interim managers at the IIR office in Amsterdam. As we both were young mothers, we talked about our childern often. Always I could feel her love for her childern so much and her regrets that she had to go away on business abroad so often, while she wanted to be with them. I want to tell her childern Joe en Lizzi that their mam was always thinking about them and that her love for them with be everlasting. I think about Michele and her family often. I hope they are coping.

I, too, was born in Essex in the 1960s in the village of Grays, Thurrock. In 1969 I attended Brentwood Preparatory School, in Brentwood, Essex. I have many good memories of growing up in that part of the world.
I have lived in the United States since 1991, married, and followed a career here.
Two years after the attacks I am still saddened and horrified by what had happened.
I had visited the World Trade Center in 1979, and I marvelled at this great achievement. In 1994 I applied for a job with a company that was located in one of the towers - I was turned down.
Fate is mysterious, but God always uses the worst of tradgedies to heal, strengthen, draw us closer, and rekindle the hope in our hearts.
God Bless you.

I remember when it happened... It seemed unreal... To read each name, and try to learn about each individual it is heartwrenching... I am on the other side of the country.... But my heart aches.... Its been two years, and still feels like yesterday... May your family be at peace and your children grow to love... May God help them understand...

To Michele's Family
I was devasted to hear about your loss. I used to work with Michele about 7 years ago in London with IIR ('95). She was my manager. I remember her telling us when Joe had spoken his first word and taken his first steps! And I remember when she told us she was having another baby! She loved you all.

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

Regarding Michele (Du Berry) Beale:
Billericay, Essex, England
Michele Beale, 37 years old from Hillhouse Road, Billericay, was working on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center when the first terrorist controlled plane hit. Michele was helping to organise a conference on the World restaurant of the North Tower at 8.30am, she was part of a 16-strong team from a London-based financial publishing company called Risk Waters.
Michele who attended Mayflower High School, Billericay, and had lived in the town since 1987.
She leaves her husband Stuart 36 years and two children, Joe, seven years old and Lizzie, five years old.
A memorial service was held at the Emmanuel Church in Laindon Road. Emmanuelâs Rev Elwin Cockett, who led the service paid tribute to Michele, saying: "It says so much about Michele that this church is full with people who have come from far and wide to be here today, to stand alongside her family at his time.
The events of September 11th were an outrage that the whole world shared in, but this service is about marking a very personal loss – of someone who was a dear friend to many here, someone who went to school in Billericay, and who lived in this community, a young woman who was a daughter and a sister, a wife and a mother."
Billericay is a town were a very large proportion of the working population travel to London for work, a huge number of those people work in the Financial establishments in the City of London.
There are so many residents of Billericay who's friends and work colleagues have been cruelly snatched from them by the September 11th World Trade Center terrorist outrage. Billericay is still shaking from the impact of the attacks on the United States.

I wish I could learn more about Michele (Du Berry) Beale. I am creating a card in memory of her. It will be included in an art exhibition entitled "Public Process" to be shown in Cleveland, Jan 4- Feb 15, 2002. (The work of art intends to create a memory of those lost on September 11, 2001.) I picked Michele's name at random. I hoped to find some information at this site.
As I try to find an appropriate way to remember Michele, I am realizing that this work of art is not about the physical events of the tragic day, or even about how thousands of people tragically died. It should just be about each individual being a unique human being, and how each person touched our world and the people around them. Their importance in life is not measured by the length of a New York
Times article or by even their inclusion in a work of art.
Michele (Du Berry) Beale was born, lived and died, and in that alone was (and is) important to this world.

To all the friends & family of Michele Beale... you may not know me, but please take comfort in knowing that my thoughts are with you. In a world of uncertainty only one thing is certain, that those people we care about most in life are always taken from us much too soon.
