Adriana Legro Obituary
On Super Bowl Sunday, Adriana Legro ran a five- kilometer race in Central Park. It was her first time out with the New York Road Runners Club, but those who knew her never had any doubts that she would finish. She did, of course.
The youngest of four children of Colombian immigrants, Ms. Legro, 32, was known as the achiever in the family, the one who had accomplished the most in the shortest time. She was the only one of her siblings born here, and the only one to graduate from college. "She was strong-willed," said her sister, Maria. "She was really determined to make something of her life."
Ms. Legro worked as an institutional sales broker at Carr Futures. She lived in Elmhurst, Queens, with her 92-year-old grandmother, Beatriz Molina, and her Pekingese, named Lucky. Ms. Legro's mother had died when she was a teenager, and she often turned to her grandmother for advice. "I know she talked about getting her own place and leaving the nest," her sister said. "But she never did."

Adriana seemed like she lived her life with success. Reading other comments you seemed like a sweet person and everyone around you was proud of you with how much success you had in your life. You will be remembered!

Adriana was the nicest person who became a friend in Grammer school. St. Michael's in Flushing queens. She always smiled and said hi. She was such a mentor to me. Fast forward to the Friday Sept 7th. We reunited at a bar over at WTC. Hugged talked and made plans to see one another. Fr. Sanchez broke the news to me. I cried soo hard. Rest in peace. 20 years later it still hurts.

I said this in another memorial page for her but it didn’t go through so I thought I’d share it here:
I saw her name today at the 9/11 memorial the moment I stood by the waterfall of where the building she was in collapsed. I knew right there and then that life was precious and the girl who carried my name didn’t have a choice of whether to live or die that day. Ive been suicidal for 4 years on and off and today seeing her name gave me hope about living with all the time you got left to live because you’ll never know when your day will come. I felt touched when I saw her name there. I just couldn’t explain it the rest of the day I was with my fiancé and literally after we left the memorial I asked him about what his dreams and goals were because I guess I blocked it out of my mind for a while but seeing her name made me think about what drives me to live and that is the man I stood there with, and God that keeps me alive. May God bless her soul and her family. She was a girl that accomplished her dreams, graduating college and running a race, she was a girl that, 20 years later, changed my life.

adriana was such a great person,she was a client of mine and we would talk for hours during the trading day.even though it has been 16 years,i think of her all the time

Though I never met Adriana we worked together at Carr futures, her in New York and I on the trading floor in Chicago. I was in charge of handling her line on the trading floor when she needed to do business. We always would talk about what was going on in our lives and i remember her talking about running. I can't believe it's been 15 years since that Tragic day and the world lost a beautiful person. Adriana,Allison Wildman and Diane Lipari will always hold special places in my heart. God bless all their families... Greg Banowski

Tomorrow, September 11, 2016, the 15th Memorial of Adriana's Tragic Death, we shall offer Mass in her Name and for her repose. May Holy Consolation be with all who mourn her absence from our Lives but know dear friends and family that she is at Peace and looks down upon each of us who remember her, who speak her name, who continue to keep alive her Memory and her Story!

To the Family and Friends of Adriana,
I never met Adriana but she has touched me and left an everlasting impression on me. My name is Michael Masiello, I work for New York City Transit and shortly after 9.11 (during the winter months) I found myself working at 34th Street Herald Square preparing to service one of the Metrocard vending machines. I happened to look down and saw someone standing on Adriana's Funeral Card (not knowing what it was at the time), when the person stepped clear I picked it up and asked if they had dropped it before examining it, they replied no. I was saddened to see someone lost the card and couldn't toss it aside so I put it in my wallet, thinking one day I would be able to return it.
Fast forward to September 11, 2002 the 1 year Anniversary. My job takes me all over NYC boroughs but that day I happen to be working in Manhattan around 42nd Street. My partner and I get a call to head to Chambers Street station, last stop on the E train to service a Metrocard Machine. No sooner than we finish servicing the machine I look to my right and see a group of people headed my way with the same funeral card attached to their clothing. My heart literally jumped into my throat. I fumbled trying to get my wallet out of my pants pocket, holding back tears to retrieve the funeral card I had found many months ago. I approached the group of people, handed the card to a woman and tried telling her how I had found it and was returning it but the tears and emotions got the best of me. I turned to walk away but not before the woman handed me back the card telling me to keep it. I was so touched by that, it's something I will never forget. I was not able to convey my condolences that day as my head was spinning from the encounter. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, words just can't express it.
I was working at 14th Street Union Square station today and passed by the memorial wall of names and wanted to share this story with you which gives me chills every time I repeat it still.
Again, condolences from my family to yours.

Dearest Adriana,
We had such great memories in High School and every time in hear your name, I still cannot believe it. I don't ever think I saw you having a bad day. You made everyone smile and you always lit up the room. You always called me "your platano". It was always our secret joke. I have pictures of you dancing away to Freestyle at my sweet 16. We always had a great time together. I often look at what you wrote in my year book.... "Platano sisters forever". Love you.

I worked in Chicago and talked to Adriana, Diane & Allison (and later Cono). You could not find a nicer group. I was able to meet Adriana at a customer meet & greet in Princeton. We had some laughs (and some wine) and I'm lucky to have a couple of pictures that I will cherish forever. To her family-I promise to never forget.

Your death can not separate us.

Today is a beautiful sunny day just like you.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

No time to say goodbye

and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know
Thanks for all the signs they give me so much strength.

I can't believe I didn't know until now. I am so sorry. I know it has been many years since we last spoke yet my heart aches knowing you are gone. I have such fond memories of you and our St. Michael's school days - afternoons at your house, the singing, the roller skating, the plays at school (you had to say my line in Anything Goes when I didn't make our first scene!). I will continue to cherish those memories and will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Recently I dreamed I talked to you.
You were in the desert, and you said
That I would never want for love, for you
Would love me now until the end of time.
I cannot think that you are wholly gone,
That one day you could simply be no more,
And it should come about that your bright soul
Would vanish like a rainbow in the darkness.
For me it is as if you were away,
Somewhere on a very long vacation.
And though I know you're gone, you do not seem
To be beyond the boundaries of my love.
Our souls do not abide in days or hours
But in a love that never, never ends.
You will be with me till life is over,
Then I with you somewhere beyond the stars.
I Love You Baby

Hi Maria,
You may remember me -- I used to work at Equitable until I moved up here
to Boston in 1995. Juli & I got back in touch last year. She told me
the very sad news about Adriana. I'm so sorry.
I just got your email address from Juli. I want you to know that I
participated in the Rolling Requiem commemorative singing of Mozart's
Requiem on the anniversary of Sept. 11 this past year. This was a
worldwide event, with choruses in all time zones around the world
beginning their performance at local time 8:46 a.m. -- as I'm sure you
know, the time when the first plane struck the World Trade Center. Each
singer wore the name of someone who died. My mother knew 3 people on the
planes; she wore their names. I chose to wear your sister's name.
I wish you and your family well.
all the best to you,
Lisa

While getting ready this morning for the World Trade Center memorial, I couldn’t help but think how can it be a year already? At first when I heard the so-called experts saying how it being the one-year anniversary was an extremely stressful event to deal with, I gave it little credence. Why should a year be more difficult than one, three, or six months? Then it dawned on me; years are how we keep track of things; like our children, our cars, and our scotch. But seriously, realizing that AD has been out of my life for a year now has been painful. Until today I could say last year at this time we went skiing with AD, or last year we went here for her birthday. And now as of today I can’t say that anymore. In AD’s short time with us she touched so many of our lives in so many special ways, that I wouldn’t know where to begin Her smile could light up a room and she had the personality to match. I just loved her so much, and always will. She did so much for me and everyone else who was in her life, She always put others needs before her own. I never knew how she found the time to do so many things for so many people. Go shopping for Abuelita, take Giovani here, baby-sit for Miles and Anaise, loan Juan Carlos her car, have breakfast with Dad and then be in Jersey City by 5 to meet Andrew. Well Andrew this might also explain why she was always late. Honestly it was just paining me to know that she was no longer going to be in my life anymore.
Then like so many other times AD told me what I needed to hear. We had just finished having lunch after the memorial service and were entering the subway station. Well surprise of surprises there was a problem with the main turnstiles, so they had us using an alternative entrance with a station worker overseeing the operation. Well as fate had it Maria was the only one with a working metrocard. So she was just clicking all of us through the turnstile. Well as Maria is doing this we notice the station worker is staring at her, and with her best Queens attitude Maria says to him “Is there a problem?” All flustered he blurts out no, no there’s no problem it’s just that I was looking at your memorial card pinned to your lapel, and with that he reaches into his wallet and pulls out one of AD’s mass memorial cards. He said he found it around 34th street about 6 months ago and had hoped to give it back to whoever it belonged to, and proceeded to give it back to Maria. We were all so touched by his display we asked him to please keep AD’s memorial card and that she’s his guardian angel. And that’s when it came to me; AD is still with us and always will be. Whether I am with her Juan and Giovani or Miles and Annise, or talking to Maria on the phone, or celebrating Christmas with her family AD will always be there, and will always touching our lives. If you could have seen that transit workers eyes when we gave him back that memorial card you would know she’s with us. AD we love you.

Dear Adriana
We have never met, but I feel as though I know you. Your family and friends miss you so much - I know that you are a remarkable woman.
One year later, you are not and never will be forgotten by those that love you.
God Bless you always,

A.D. every time i think of you and what happened on 9/11 i feel sad and happy because i know you are safe and happy now. I try to think that you are on a very long vacation far away from all of us sometimes it works and other time i face the truth about death. i wish you good luck in paradise and you will always be a part of me in my heart.
I love you, Miles

AD, I can't believe in a few days it will mark a year anniversary. It is still very fresh in my mind. I think of you often and take some solace when you visit me in my dreams. Somehow that tells me that you are OK. I miss you so very much.

To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea-
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity- remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories.
Of the times we loved, the times we cried,
the times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

Adriana,
I remembered when we first met, Back at St Michael's in Flushing (82/83), that was the first time we were all in the production of BYE BYE BIRDIE (you were Rosie) & from that point on we became friends.
I will always remember you , saying hello everyday , and your smile.
And for being a friend ..
