Adianes Oyola Obituary
Adianes and Felipe Oyola were at work when they fell in love seven years ago and when they last saw each other on Sept. 11. They had met as teenagers - she was a cashier at the Brooklyn fast-food restaurant where he was a cook. "She gave me vision and motivation to better myself," said Mr. Oyola, who married her last year.
The couple made plans to save money, clear debts and move to Florida, where her parents and 13-year-old brother live. Both native New Yorkers, they craved a house almost as badly as they did children. "We didn't want to raise our kids here," Mr. Oyola said. "We wanted to give them things we never had. We've always lived in apartments, never having control. We wanted something of our own."
The Oyolas commuted together from their Brooklyn home to their jobs with Fuji Bank at 2 World Trade Center. She went to the 82nd floor, where she worked in human resources and payroll, while he went to the 81st floor, where he was supervisor of mail services. When the first plane hit the tower next door, the Oyolas found each other by a bank of elevators on the 78th floor. They were hugging when the speakers announced that it was safe to return to their offices.
Mr. Oyola went back first, leaving his wife with her boss and a co-worker. Then the second plane hit, and he barely made it out. His wife is missing. "She was crying," Mr. Oyola, 24, said of the last moments with his 23-year-old wife. "I told her everything was going to be O.K."

What can I say that I haven't said over the years. 18 years is a lifetime but it truly feels like that terrible day was just yesterday, and I remember it like it was yesterday too. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you, I love and miss you everyday. You've been sending a ton of butterflies to me and I smile every time. Sending all my love and thoughts to my Adi and to all those that lost their lives that awful day and to those who continue to lose their lives all these years later. May God bless them all.

Wow! 18 years and it's etched in my mind like it was yesterday! I often wonder, if you would be a mother already, how many children and what would you be doing today.. I could always tell you that your father loves and misses you everyday of his life and so do I, Yasmine, Antonio and everyone who got to know you, because you were so loving and caring that, who wouldn't have loved & miss you. You have a new sister-in-law, Clara and she would have loved to meet you in person. So baby girl, until we meet again, you are forever in our thoughts and hearts 9/11 WE SHALL NEVER FORGET!

I can't believe it's 15 years since that dreadful day 9/11! I pray for all the lives lost that day, including our angel Adianes and all the parents and family members that share our loss. God bless us all!. Even though it's been 15 years, it feels like it happened yesterday and I still can't believe that she was taken from us during that horrible attack. We will never forget and may God Bless America! Adi we will always love and miss you, until we meet again in heaven. Love always your Dad Tony and Step-mom Grace❤

Oh man, where do I begin? 15 years have passed since you left this earth and I can hardly believe it's been that long. What can I say that I haven't said before ? You and countless others, were taken from us way too soon, we had so much more to do, so much more to talk about, so many more laughs to share, so many stories to tell each other. But that was not meant to be for us. I have felt your presence more this year than ever. I know you watch over us and protect us and I have a feeling that I am here today because of your protection. So thanks for keeping me safe that terrible day last November. I hope you have found your peace and that we are making you proud everyday. Adi, I love and miss you dearly. And to everyone who lost someone on this, the worst day in history, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And to those who feel our loss and our pain and send their love, I truly appreciate you all.

Our lives and family will never be the same since that day, 9/11! On that day during that horrific act of cowardice my beautiful step daughter Adianes was taken from us! I can't believe That it's been 14 years since we saw that beautiful smile and loving little girl. She came into my life at the tender age of 7 and was ripped from us at a young age of 23! I remember that day like it was yesterday! Tony, sister Yasmine Leon, and little brother Antonio Cortes and I, feel cheated and angry because we would never get to see her beautiful face, celebrate birthdays, holidays or get to grow old together. We love and miss her every day of the rest of our lives. She is our hero and guardian angel. May God bless us all! Always pray and remember all the innocent people that perished that day. Love you always and forever in my/our hearts Adi❤.

I was reading about the tributes of those who perished 13 years ago and I came across Adianes and her husband's story. I stopped reading the article right away to see on another page a list of all victims and sadly enough of 3 pages they had Adianes name was at the very last page and the last name listed. My heart is broken for her husband and immediate family ??. Not only just your family but of all of those whose lives were lost on that day. May God continue to comfort you and bring you peace in whatever form you may find it. God bless you all.

Adianes - I never had the privilege of meeting you, but I did have the privilege of meeting your sweet father at the 9-11 memorial last April. He shared such sweet memories of you with my daughter and I. We wish we had the opportunity to know you. You, and your precious papa, have touched us in ways you can't imagine. We know you are at peace with our Heavenly Father and that you will see your dear parents again one day.

Dear Adianes,
This is your cousin David L.Maldonado Jr. I joined the Army because of the incident that took place on the day that your life was taken from all of us. I am here to protect the U.S.A and even give my life if I have to. I love you and Miss you. I get so emotional every 9/11 and am always thinking of you. I had a flag flown over a the base I was at in Afghanistan by running for you in the 9/11 run on
Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. It was dedicated for you and has your name on it. God Bless you Adi and you will FOREVER BE REMEMBERED. I am still in the Active U.S. Army and have been in now for 5 years.

I met Adianes in John Dewey High School. We had classes together. Graduated class of 1996. She was such a sweet, smart, and warm girl. My brother Ivan gave me the news the day after 911 that she was missing. And we all hoped that she had gotten out and was safe but was anable to get home...we all waited for her.
6 years later to hear her name being called at the memorial service it still feels unreal and it still hurts. We always have her in our prayers. And I always think about her. Gob bless her family

Adianes,
We met many years ago when we were 13. We were both part of the same senior class at Peter Rouget IS 88. I find myself blessed to have met and become friends with such a beautiful person. I have many great memories of hanging out with you, Anthony, and the rest of the guys, enjoying our last months together before we got a bit closer to becoming adults and saying our final goodbyes. I recall how you took joy in making me blush when you called me Pooh. There is one thing that I can't forget about you though, your smile, so endearing and welcoming. You were the shy and sweet girl noone could ever speak a bad word of, yet you drew so much attention, I guess because everybody saw something in you, but many didn't get to know that down to earth, funny, and adorable person that we did. I thank you for that. I believe that last time I saw you was several years after we graduated, I walked passed you on 5th Avenue, and we both caught a look at each other and smiled, yet we both seemed shy to speak. It pained me to come across your face on the first anniversary of September 11th, as I watched the television coverage and someone held your portrait. I didn't and still don't know what to think. All I can say is that this world lost such a beautiful soul, and at that moment in time, God, as he did in many others that day, saw the face of an angel and took you where you needed to be, watching over your friends and family as only a gentle spirit like you could. Memories of you can never be forgotten, I know you are in a better place and hope that I can blessed enough to see smile again. As you remembered me, Pooh.

I was so honored to be a pert of her life and my wife and I miss her so much.

I will always remember her as my little sister and her husband, Felipe, as one of my best friends.

I read about you in the Time Magazine 9/24/01. It touched my heart so deeply that when I found this site, I couldn't help but post a message. I did not know either of you, but feel the pain of your loss of your dear wife. Dear Felipe, I hope you are doing well, and as the anniversary of that day approaches you will be in my prayers as you are every day. Dear Adianes, rest in peace beautiful angel.

I am family "of sorts" and on Sept 14, 2001 I received an email written by my mother's sister that her step-daughter was missing and it really put me in a shock.
I wrote the following letter and emailed it to all that I knew for prayers.
----------------------------------
September 11, 2001 will be forever marked in our hearts as a day of tragedy and loss. This morning is especially hard for my family and I, as my mother has sent word via email that her sister's step-daughter is counted among the missing at the WTC.
I had always felt that emotionally my family was prepared for anything. My father retired after serving the Army 22 years in 1995. My younger sister joined the Air force in 2000.
During our childhood my father was a great source of pride for us. He was strong, proud, and admired by many. He raised us in Germany and during the Gulf War we actually weren't as scared as most, because we knew the "daddy" could handle anything.
In Germany during that time we saw tremendous acts of terrorism. Bomb Threats to our bases, an explosion that killed the entire family of a class mate of mine, and even several bomb threats at our grade school. We were well prepared emotionally and I don't believe that we ever really were scared. We knew that our soldiers would protect us.
I am 26 years old now, married and all grown up. Yesterday I was terrified! Today I am full of sorrow, worry, and anger. All my life living amongst soldiers and on bases I had been prepared by my mother and father and taught that we were to be strong in the face of danger, tragedy, and war. My parents made us understand that anything could happen to my father because he was a soldier. We were prepared for my father injuries and/or death during the Gulf War.
When my sister joined the Air force last year, we were all so proud of her. Yesterday when I first heard of what was happening at the WTC, I was shocked and immediately called her, she told be that she was being called in for briefing and we said our "I love you's" and hung up. I was not scared. She is trained. It's her job. I was prepared.
But this morning when I head that that Adianes was missing I wasn't prepared. She is a civilian. My mother and father never prepared us for the loss of a civilian family member and we are beside ourselves with grief.
Her name is/was Adianes Cortes, she may be also listed under Adianes Cortes-Oyola (she just got married 6 months ago) she's 24 years old. She worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center 78th floor - Fugi Bank Corp. Her husband made it out he worked in the 60th floor, the airplane crashed unto the 78 through 80th floors. We have not heard any word on her whereabouts.
My family asks that we pray for Adianes and all those who are missing or dead. My sister emailed a prayer that is most comforting.
"Almighty God we ask that you fill this solemn moment with the majesty of your presence. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of these who have given their lives to sustain the gift of freedom. We ask that you comfort their families and friends and help fill their emptiness with hope. We also pray for those gathered here today and those with us in spirit. Make us creative in using your resources and brave in the face of our enemies. Give us the wisdom our situation calls for and the compassion that inspires an end of oppression. May we be confident that the heroes we honor today have not died in vain. Amen."
May God bless us all to ease our nation's pain,
Frances M Siple

This past October, my husband and I went to NYC and visited the WTC site. I am a photographer and I took many pictures of the memorials that were posted across the street. One of those memorials was Adianes. I have a beautiful black and white photo of her memorial. Today is Christmas Eve and I decided to do some research into the people who are in the memorial photos, and I found out who she was and a little more about her as a person. Thank you for sharing. I am praying for Adianes and her family this Christmas season.
To her family: I am going to try to attach the photo to my post, but if it doesn't work and if you would like me to email you the photo I took of her memorial, please email me at [email protected] I'd be more than happy to share that with you.
With peace and love,

I wrote this in Adi's remembrance:
It was very hard for me to find the right words to say how beautiful or special Adianes was. The words were never good enough to describe what an amazing person she was to me. Adi was a beloved daughter, a wonderful sister, and a devoted wife. She was a caring soul and a gift from God given to all of us. Her warm smile lightened up a room and embraced the hearts of us all. Adi had a way about her; she touched the lives of everyone in here and left a little part of herself with each and everyone of you. Adi and I were not only cousins, she was also my sister. We grew up together and shared intricate parts of our lives with each other. We knew each others secrets and joys, hopes and fears. She was wise beyond her years and her strength and determination made her fearless and relentless of life. Although Adianes' body is not here with us, does not mean she isn't here. She is all around us, she is here in spirit, she is here in love, she is here in the unity that has brought us together. Before I end, I would like to read a few words I wrote to Adianes today.
Adi, although you are not here with me, I will see you in my dreams when I fall asleep tonight; and although I may not be able to talk with you, I can hear your voice guiding me through life; and although I can not hold you or hug you, I feel your presence all around me; and although you can't physically be here with me, like we planned on all those special days of my life, I know somehow you will always be holding my hand and standing by my side when those times arrive. I will not say good-bye to you for I know that you have not left me and never will. You were my cousin and my sister but most of all my friend and I want to thank you for sharing so very much of you with me. I promise that I will always cherish and keep my memories of you and our special moments together alive in my heart. And when we meet again, it will be like old times, as if you never left. I'll love you forever... my Adi.

Every day I think of her and what a wonderful and good hearted friend she was. I keep thinking of how happy she was on her wedding day and how I am going to miss her at mine. My wedding ceremony is dedicated to her.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Adi and all the memories I have of her. I don't think she ever knew how much I really loved and respected her and how much I admired her for her beauty, her intelligence and her ambition. She continues to be my motivation...Kevin, Felipe, Nellie, you are never, ever far from my prayers.

Felipe, I truly hope you are seeing this. I have cried many tears for you at this terrible loss. I hope you can find consolation knowing how happy you made Adianes and what a gift you were to her. I mourn her loss. Adianes was a very beautiful young woman -- beautiful in every way. I feel honored that I knew both of you. I have wonderful memories of the Tuesday evenings we spent discussing God and hs place in our lives. I pray that the faith you had then will give you courage and strength. I have tried to reach you but can't get your phone number. Please be in touch with me. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So very young. We are deeply sorry for your loss of Adianes. May her love surround you with a penetrating warmth to help heal your heart. We are very sorry for your loss of Adianes. 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

I first read your heartfelt story in Time magazine. I checked everyday hoping that I would never find her name on the victim list and wore a Flag pin in her honor. Sadly I found it Monday. My thoughts are with you. I am so sorry.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your wife. I wish there was something I could say to lessen your grief. I will keep you both in my prayers.
