I miss you dad. It's been 20 years, since you've been gone. I always think about what life would be like if you were still here. There's always been a part of me missing, and its the memories and moments I wish you were there for. I know you are looking over us, but I wish you could be here now to see how far I've come. You're part of the reason I push myself everyday to be successful. I promise I'll make you proud. I love you.

It's been 15 years already, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I miss you so much, mom, Ashley and Andrew miss you so much. Everything I'm doing is for YOU college, getting my job and everything else I'm doing for YOU. I miss those crazy moments where we use to sit down and watch WWE wrestling together and how we use to sit in the computer room and you would play your computer game while I sat on the floor to play the batman computer game you gave me....god it hurts that your gone but your always in my heart and in my dreams. I love you Spiderman❤

Martin,
It took me a long time and it is still hard to express the great sorrow that we still feel after 8 years. Great friends are very rare. You are a very special friend to all of us. I have great memories of us growing up and still feel the painful void left behind. We will never forget you. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Hi Theresa my name is Michele. I worked with your mom (she was my boss too). I have a daughter named Lauren who is 10 about the same age as you. I wanted to tell you I remember your mom pregnant with you in her belly and you dad worked in our building at that time. They both came to my wedding and your dad always was so funny, thoughtful and kind to me and my family. He always made me smile and asked how I was during work. I remember him even helping us pick out a computer and programming it over the phone with my husband . Always remember your dad loves you and is always there even though you can't see him but I know you can feel him at times. Keep smiling and remember that he is with you, Ashley and Andrew and even Mommy. Tell mommy she can always call me or email me ok? You can also call or email my daughter and know we can always be friends and talk. Tell mom I love her and miss her and would love to hear from her. My mom lives in Pennsylvania too. So maybe we can meet you guys there. My email is: [email protected] We love all of you and know your dad was such a great loving and fun man who will always love you and your family:) I will always remember your dad Martin and think about him so much as well as you, your sister, brother and especially you mom.... Always happiness, always smile and know your dad is with you...

Dear Giovinazzo Family,
My Family sends our deepest sympathy. My grandparents use to live abouve your family when I was a kid. I learned of Martins passing 2 years after 911. The first thing that came to mind was the passing of Dominic and I remembered how bad Mrs Giovinazzo had taken that. I remembered Dominic playing Joy To The World. I felt sadness because you see Dominic was the first person that I knew that died. When I told my grandma about Martins passing she cried and first thought that came to her mind Mrs Giovinazzo. I remember all the girls Tina, Rosemary, Angela and In these ladies the Giovinazzo blood will go on forever.
Love The Asencios

Dear Dorothy, Theresa, Ashley & Andrew
Its hard to believe how time passes. Today on the anniversary of 911 we light a candle for Martin. A true hero in our lives we think of you often and still have your picture of the children on display. I hope one day our paths will cross. Today will be difficult, but remember Martin watches over you all with love and peace.
God Bless You All,
Love & Peace

Dearest Martin,
Today marks the 3rd year you have been gone, but not in our hearts and mind. I pray to God,to watch over your Wife, children, Mother and Father and Sisters and nieces and nephews. I know your with your brother Dominic and Nana and Uncle John. Because we always will be a family. May the Lord rest your soul. We all miss you and will never forget you. Now and forver, Amen.

Martin,
I wish you were here so that I could hug you and tell you how much I miss you. I know you are up there watching over us with the angels like yourself. I sometimes look at the clock rather in the morning or at night and i see the numbers 911 on it. It tells me that in some way that you are there with me, and watching over us. I have a picture in my room of you and it reminds me of what a great person you are.I now have two girls named Nicole and Christina and wish they could meet you. I will meet you again some day cousin, but, not just yet.I have to guide my family along , but , when it is time, I will look for you up in heaven with the angels.

Dear Martin:
I write this with a sad heart. A relative found the picture in a news magazine of your dad placing flowers at a small memorial for you. Because my mother's maiden name is Giovinazzo, I contacted your father and we are searching our family trees to see if we are related, like 3rd or 4th cousins...so ironic, that we might have found family because of your untimely death. The Ohio Giovinazzos are praying for your family. We will keep them in our hearts and pray that God will guide them and protect them with His love and mercy.

Hey Egghead,
It's been two years since you were taken from us. The pain of your death still feels as though it has happened yesterday. I still miss you, and so does Mom, Dad, Jen, Nana, Nono, Aunt Dorothy, Theresa, Ashley and Andrew and everybody. The Spider-Man movie was excellent--I wish you could've seen it. There were rumors of a sequel. College is hard, but you know me--I get through it. Tell Uncle Dominic the Dardevil movie was wonderful; Mom told me he loved "Daredevil".
Well, here's looking at you.
Your niece,

Dear Dorothy, Theresa, Ashley and Andrew,
We just wanted to let you know that even after two years we still think about you, pray for you daily and wonder how you are. Your family has touched our hearts in so many ways. We never take each other for granted anymore. We make sure we show each other, our families and friends how much we love them. The picture you sent of the children with the Teddy Bears we sent through Canada Cares Teddy Bears, still sits out with our family photos. It means a lot to my children. Although we have never met, you have a special place in our hearts. May God Bless you Dorothy and be with you and the children today. Take care.
Love,
Jan, Mick, Kellan, & Jenay O'Kane

To The Giovinazzo Family,
My mind will always be filled with the sadness and destruction that 911 had on our Nation. The loss you have suffered can never be repaced. Please believe that the Nation, grieves with you.
Forever you will all be in my prayers. I have planted a tree in my front yard in memory of Martin. I have attached a tag with his name, and the site to which all can read and learn, and heal from the tragedy of 9-11.
God Bless you forever, forever in my prayers, God Bless Our America,

Martin and Family,
Martin was a wonderful friend to me when I was living on Staten Island, I still can't believe he is no longer with us. My heart breaks each time I think of him and his family and the horror they had to absorb on September 11. My family and I only had to relocate, we were one of the lucky ones. Our prayers are with Dorothy and her children. Martin we will miss you forever. He touched my life and I am better for having known him. Dorothy and children our prayers are with you. With all our love.

A few weeks after Sept 11,2001, my husband came home with a memorial issue of his company magazine and told me there was someone named Martin Giovinazzo who worked for Marsh in NY and was killed in the terrorist attack. I got goose bumps as I wondered if we could be related.... I did not know anyone who was killed but because we shared a common name, I suddenly felt connected. I saw Martin's name again in the one year anniversay brochure and I felt compelled to write. My heart goes out to you Dorothy and to your three children. I can only imagine your grief but I know that God will give you the strength to go on. Please know that you have a lot of the Giovinazzo family - many of us don't even know one another - but we are all praying for you!
Keeping you in my thoughts.

Dorothy,Theresa,Ashley & Andrew,
We are so sorry for your loss. We think of you daily even though we are miles away and did not know Martin personally. We are the family who sent the Teddy Bears for the children and hope that in some small way, they did help brighten their day. Please know that we are praying for you and not a day goes by that we don't think of those who lost their lives and what true heros they are.
Have faith in knowing that Martin is watching over you and will always be with you in spirit to give you strength to go on.
Love & Peace

Through the empty canyon, a soft wind blows. It sings the music of the spirits and echoes the humbling of our nation.
Martin's song will always be in my heart. With a warm smile I hear "Who Let Those Dogs Out?" and know the tune belongs to him.
His legacy is honorable.
My prayers and support are with Dorothy and the children forever.
In Devotion,

To the entire family, my prayers go out to all of you. Living 2 doors away, we basically grew up together. All these years between us and i've never forgotten any of you. How i cried the day dominic left us, he was one of my best friends, and one of the funniest guys i've ever met. Martin had that same sense of humor. Now they are together in the arms of angels. May you find peace and comfort in eachother, and know that all who have known Martin, grieve and pray with you. With Love, Donna Velardi-Toti

Martin "Who is Like the Lord"
"Give encouragement to each other and keep strengthening one another." Thessalonians 5:11
I remember us playing in the room next to the kitchen, we made tents out of bed sheets, we had flash lights and pretended to be ghosts, trying to scare Rosemarie, I remember us playing cards over Aunt Tona's house, I remember you pulling my hair everytime we saw each other, you are in every home video of us growing up as kids, I remember our large family was always together,holiday's, birthday's what ever the occasion was, we where all together.
You will be missed, we can see you thru your childrens eyes as they grow into a new generation with the grace of God to guide them.
There are now words to express how terrible I feel for your Mother & Father,Angela,Eddie,Tina,Richie,
Rosemarie,John,Dorothy,Theresa,
Ashley,Andrew...may all of you know, I pray for you. I pray that the Lord Bless all who have lost.
May God rest your soul. I miss you.

Martin,
This is so hard for me to do becuase these are the last words ever spoken to you in years. Because of differences with our families, we lost precious time to get to know each other in our adult years. As kids, you taught me alot. You introduced me to music from way back that I enjoy listening to today. You never told me that I was too young to hang out with your friends. I was never "just a girl" when we played ball outside. Every Sunday I looked forward to coming to your house for dinner. I miss that. I miss you. I've already been introduced to your 3 beautiful children. Each one of them have a little of you. Theresa is your mirror image. Ashley has your personality. Andrew is you reborn. I love that I've been able to hold and play with your children. I love that our families have reunited. I hate that you're not around. I just know that one day....we'll be able to catch up...
Dorothy Giovinazzo

To my dearest husband,
On that day of Sept. 11th my heart was stolen from me, thats because you have it now and you will always have it. We met as teenagers and started going out, and six months into the relationship you wanted to marry me, well 5 years later we did just that, we have 3 beautiful children that you all gave nicknames too Theresa aka: Monkey; Ashley aka: Noodles and Andrew aka: Andypants. You loved us so much, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't cry, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH you were everything to me. Honey you always made me happy, even when I was angry you always somehow put a smile on my face. I know you have your wings, so guide us in the right directions because I know you are with us. So I won't say goodbye, I'll just say see you later and I'll see you when I get up there.
Love you always and forever in our hearts Dorothy and Children

To Martin's Loved Ones
As I went through the days that followed 911, I had a profound sense of sadness. But nothing has impacted me more then to find my own maiden name. You see, my Grandfather Dominic Giovinazzo had passed away several years ago, and as result of that many of us just sort of drifted away. We all believed that we were pretty much the last of the Giovinazzos. I have one brother, Dominic, and he lives in Va. two living sisters, and 5 nieces and nephews. All at a distance.
The impact of seeing Martin and never having know him makes it even sadder and bring to me a sense of longing. Do not allow this to happen to your lovely family. Keep his memory close. Keep those who are a part of his memory near and know that yet another Giovinazzo is now praying for your peace and His soul. Know that in my heart I will know him and that is enough, may God grant you peace and remberances of his spirit.
Jill Roberts

To the Giovinazzo Family:
I saw your family being interviewed on CNN at the memorial service. When Martin's mother cried to the reporter, "Why did they do this," my heart broke, and I, too, cried.
As a former New Yorker and with relatives living on Staten Island, I felt especially close to your family. I know it is not much consolation, but please know that I am just one of many people in this country and around the world who are grieving with you.
God bless you always and may time bring you a lessening of your sorrow and the courage to carry on.
Sincerely,
Jill Roberts

Martin, I was glad to have known you. I felt good everyday that my Angel Kristen had a friend at work such as you. Kristen used to tell me that she would overhear you talking to your children on the phone. She said that she hoped I would be that sweet when we had kids.You, my friend are sadly missed. God Bless You and Keep You.

Martin was my baby brother. I miss him terribly. I will always remember when he took his first steps, said his first words, and played his first joke. He loved to tease me and I loved him for it. I guess that's what I miss most. He was a big brother to my daughters Donna & Jennifer. He was a loving son to Martin & Domenica (our parents). He was more of a brother to my husband, Ed than his own were. Martin knew that and so does Ed. We miss you "egghead". You will always be in our hearts and we will always be there for your children. Just as you would have been there for ours.
Ellen Robb

Dorothy, our deepest sympathies on your loss of such a wonderful husband and person as Martin. We have you and the children in our thoughts during this difficult holiday season. It is a comfort to us to know that, if possible, Martin was with Kristen, Mary Boffa Ralph Scora, Steve Howell and their other friends that horrible day and they comforted each other.
Our grief is beyond words -
Kristen's sisters Karen and Jamie Montanaro and her Mom Ellen.

May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by the precious memories of the beautiful moments in your lives. We are deeply sorry for your loss of Martin. May his life and love live on in those who love him. Our hearts cry with you in your loss of Martin.
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
