Deanna Galante Obituary
Deanna L. Galante had such a knack for styling hair that she attended beauty school after high school in Sheepshead Bay, and when she ran out of heads to practice on among family members, she used her own. It was her second career, and she kept up with the trends. Braids, beads, perms and shavings, she did them all.
On Wall Street, Ms. Galante, 32, worked for Cantor Fitzgerald's eSpeed division as a personal assistant. At home on Staten Island, where she lived with her husband, Anthony, she did puzzles to unwind and was busy redecorating in anticipation of their first child; she was six weeks away from going on maternity leave. "She was already like a second mom to my 12-year-old," said her sister, Tina. "They were always doing their hair and nails."

To Mackenzie,
Thank you for writing here. I am Deanna’s sister and would love to know about your Mom and more about her friend. Where is your Mom from ? What schools did she go to ? Maybe my sister Deanna was her friend and her and I could share memories.
Deanna,
It’s been 23 years . Long years , so many changes . So many ups , downs and many in betweens. Every day is another day without you . Another day you’re missed. So much has happened that I know if you were here , would not have. Sometimes it’s way too much . Until we meet again , please to watch over the family and keep me strong .

I think you were my mom's best friend. She said her best friend died with an unborn child during 9/11. You would be only a few years older than her, which means you could've been over 50. You could've reached 50 and my mom could've celebrated with you. She can't hear about 9/11 without tearing up and changing the subject. She couldn't bring herself to go to Come From Away (a show about 9/11) with me, and says she thinks of you often. Even though I never knew you, I do too. Rest In Piece.

In 2013 I saw Deanna´s name on Panel N37 along with the tragic words "and her unborn child" I cannot understand why God would permit this terrible loss of life. I can imagine the great loss felt by her husband Anthony her family and her colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald.

I did not know anyone who died from the 9/11 attacks. I went to the memorial and saw her name on the memorial. Every year I watch the tributes to the fallen and I wait to hear her name to be read. I think of her often.

Nana,
I just found this page for you. It´s almost 20 years since you´ve passed away. I was only 4. Although I don´t share all of these lovely memories of you with anyone, it´s comforting to live through others. I know that we spent a lot of time together and I cherish the moments I have captured in pictures. I love you so much and I know that you´re with me, Amanda and the rest of the family always. I´m sorry that we didn´t get a chance to develop a close relationship. I often think about how our relationship would be if you were here. I love to imagine we´d be close enough for me to call you and just chat about normal Adult life things. Work, relationships, family life, Amanda stressing me out lol. I look up to you and I shrive to be the Aunt you were to us, to my nieces and nephews. I know that you see all that happens and I am so thankful for all of the blessings you´ve sent us. Please continue to show us signs you´re here! I love you

Dear Deanna. I've been thinking of you a lot lately. I've visited your spot in the WTC memorial a couple of times now. It's a great spot, near the corner with a view. D'Arci is with you now and I hope you two are at peace. I wish I could have gotten to know you better girl. Prayers to your family, I can't imagine how much they miss you. You are not forgotten. Love, Laurie

Dear Dee, it's been so long but yet it seems like yesterday still that my favorite cousin was ripped from my life. I know you can see how beautiful your nieces and nephews have grown to be and how much you are missed and loved every hour of everyday. I know you and Matthew smile down on us always. You will never be forgotten. Love and kisses

Deanna I never knew you but on November 9,2013 after my time in the military I visited the ground zero memoirs and when I went to tower 2 with my mom as we both came from Miami,Florida your name was the first one I saw and the one that stood out to me the most as I dragged my hand across your name and the names of the other victims that should have never died like you I almost fell to my knees in tears you and the rest of the victims that were lost that day should have never died I know you are in heaven with your child and know that when I enlisted for the 6 months I was in the army know this that tragic day motivated me to defend and protect this country I hope to meet you in heaven with your child
of all the names, we stopped at yours Deanna
May 14, 2013
hello to all who knew deanna L galante. i never did but since visiting New York in April 2013 and visiting the memorial site with my children, we rested our palms on your name, no one else, and i knew i had to discover who you were! We came from ireland to visit the site and somehow found you. My heart almost lept from my chest when i read your name and the deep sorrow your family and loved ones must feel for you. I read their messages with tears of how such a beautiful woman and her child could be stolen from this world. I wish to pass on my condolenses to each and every one who, by all accounts had the pleasure of walking in Deanna L Galantes life. Hope you rest forever with your beautiful baby boy Matthew, forever young and forever happy, from Caroline, rachel & matthew harvey, Ireland

I visited the 911 memorial on friday for the first time. i was so overwhelmed by all the names. For some reason I found yours even though we never crossed paths in this world. I will never forget what happened that day. I promise to remember you and your unborn child forever stamped in the memorial and my heart.

Its ten years, I watched the tribute and heard your name. Tears still flowed for you and your sweet baby. Knowing you and baby are in God's tender care gives peace to the loss.

Deanna,
You were a friend to me when others wouldn't be. You were kind to me when others weren't. You smiled at me when the life was hard. You made me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry. You showed me how precious life is, born or unborn. While we weren't friend's that long, I will always remember your kindness! I am sure I will run into you again...

I lived on E. 6th street in bklyn. and got to know Joey and Maggie. I met Deanna a few times. I remember her working at Danzas on Sheepshead Bay Rd. My daughters Lisa and Lorene were younger than Deanna but Joey and Maggie are friends. Joey helped tow my car a few times for free. I still take the ferry to work and I often visit the memorial there and visit Deanna's profile. My heart and prayers go out to you. I know you are at peace. Also to Joey and Maggie, may God grant you peace.

Hi All,
My name is Vincent Danza Jr. and I grew up with Deannas family,I knew her when she was single and her last name was Micculi,I know her father Joey,her mother Maggie,and her brother Joey jr. and i was close to her sister Tina.
My father still keeps in touch with Maggie and the rest of her family,that now is an extended family, Joey and Tina are now married with kids of their own.
Maggie and Joey were in my parents wedding party, I remember vividly the fun times we had with the Micculis' at our house in Tuckerton,N.J. I will always remember the whole Micculi family and i still cant get over the fact that Deanna is gone,As i sit here on the night of Sept,10th,2005,my deepest sympathies still go out to Deannas' family and now her husband Anthony.
I miss Deanna terribly and tomorrow i will have her memory in my heart as i have since that horribly day that i found out about Deanna.
Please if anyone wants to email me for anything please feel free. My heart and well wishes go out to the Micculi and Galante family.
Thank you,
Vincent J Danza Jr.

On 9/11/02 my church had a memorial service to grieve and pay respect to those lost on 9/11/01. When the service was over, my pastor had each of us draw a name from a basket and asked us to pray for that person's family and friends. He asked us to pray for your peace and comfort in this time of loss...that Jesus would be very real to you and bring comfort to you. I drew the name of Deanna Galante...and I prayed for you...her family and friends.
Today I found this tribute.
I have the card with her name attached to the dashboard of my truck so I see her and remember to pray each day.
I cannot imagine your loss, but I will continue to ask God to heal your lives.
Peace to you.
Love,
Tom

Mr. Anthony Galante - On this sad day I wish to offer my sympathy concerning the loss of your beloved wife.I cried today as I heard your wife's name, and the names of the other innocent victims of the WTC attack, read over the radio air waves. Please know that I offered a prayer for her and your unborn child.
Sincerely, Mary Beth Galante, Butler Pennsylvania

Dearest friends and family of Deanna, I have been looking forward to this day. The day of remembrance and hopefully some closure. Last year, I flew to New York 5 days after 9/11 to help out at the Javitt center. I felt so helpless clear across the country. This year, I have been up watching the East coast ceremonies since 4am, our time. At noon, and pretty much at the last minute, I drove to the baseball/football field where one of our radio stations was assigning names to the volunteers. Over 4000 volunteers showed up.. Our job was to read our assigned persons name, age, and WTC. We all then got to ring a bell in honor of them. The reading of all the names took about 8 hours. The radio station stopped their show for the entire time until all the names were read. I was fortunate enough to read out Deanna's name. I wanted you to know that her loss is being recognized everywhere. My heart goes out to you and everyone else who lost a loved one. After reading Deanna's name, I ended with "We will never forget", because... we never will. Laura

It rarely rains this time of year in New Mexico. The sun shines most days. Since Sunday, September 8th, it has poured every day. They are tears from our angels in heaven; from so many like Deanna & her baby.
Today, something made me look for someone with the last name of "Galante"; a childhood friend. Instead I found a young woman cut down in her youth. Did any of these terrorists stop to think that we are just like them, with lives like theirs, with people who love us, care for us, just like theirs? May our angels in heaven have their wounds healed with our prayers and our lives lived in testimony to find peace in the world.

I was lucky to know Deanna... Her laughter, smile and making the most of life, inspired everyone she met. Deanna and I met more than 10 years ago when we worked together in a small food store. We soon became close friends and realized we had more in common that we thought. It never mattered how long ago we last spoke, Deanna was always Deanna, and always a friend. I cherish the memories of dancing and singing, laughing and being just plain crazy together! I will always look back on our "sleep-overs" and smile... She was one of a kind! All of my love to her wonderful family! xo

Dee,
I still can't believe your gone. Knowing you since we were 4 years old was a gift to me. I know every side of you there was to know or at least I thought I did. You were silly , funny, smart, crazy, adventurous, careing and so very loving. But as I read over everyones writtings of you I see you were sent here to be an angel to so many. Please as you are in heaven continue to look down and watch over all of us and be our angel still. May you rest in peace dee see you when I get there legs. I miss you.

This tribute is for Deanna's family. Deanna's parents,her brother, sister, nieces and nephew, Deanna's entire immediate family. I believe your loss is of far more importance. You all have spent HER entire life together with HER as a FAMILY. That alone makes you all more important to her then anyone else who walked in and out of her short life. That is not to say that she did not make an impact on everyone she came in contact with, IM sure she did. Deanna seemed to be a wonderful, beautiful, energetic love life to the fullest kind of person. Everyone who knew her suffered with her loss. But to me Deanna's first Family is the family that I give recognition to. My heart goes out to you all. In time you will find comfort within and know that Deanna will always be part of your FAMILY.
Deanna, God Bless You, your baby and all you left behind.

Dear Mr. Galante..there are no words to tell you how horrific I feel when I think of your beautiful wife and baby. There is nothing I can say to make it better. The only thing I know is that so many people now know your wife and her bravery that day. My brother worked for Cantor for 10 years, I have been up in those offices many times. I think each and every one of them are true heros. My friend Jimmy Ladley worked there also and did not make it home, also Neil Dollard. I hope all our prayers keep you sane Mr. Galante, I guess at this point that's all we can hope for. Know that Staten Islanders and the world hold you in the highest regard. Peace~M. Cicio

As a midwife, I see many patients every year and don't always remember names, faces, and interactions. But Deanna I knew. I knew her voice on the phone. I knew her face. I knew her laugh. And I knew the things that worried her. I think of her and her baby every day. Her loss is felt by everyone she met. I will remember her as a friend.

We are extremely sorry for your loss of Deanna and baby to be. May Deannna's and baby's life and love live on in those who love them. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by the precious memories of the beautiful moments in your lives together. 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
