Dear Lisa,

I can not believe you are gone a year already. We all miss you so much. Christina always talks about you and the things she remembers that we all did together. We had a lot of good times. Could you believe Christina is in kindergarten already. She loves it which I am so glad. Michael is in pre-school and he also likes it.

Christina stills goes over by your mom and dad. You know Tony is her best friend. She always looks out the window to see where they are and then when Christina see them you know she has to yell over to them. Things never change.

Lisa I miss you so much and the talks we used to have. I just which that day never had to happen. I am so glad that we got to become good friends. You watch over all of us you are our angel.

Love always,

Gina, Carmine, Christina & Michael

I never had the chance to meet Lisa but I wanted to present my condolences to the whole Cannava family. I know how hard it is to endure the loss of a loved person but I'm conviced that she is now in a better place. Hope the love you shared with Lisa will sustain you in the worst of time.

May God bless you all,

Mathilde (17 years-old)

Even though I did not know Lisa, I want to express my deepest sympathies to her family and friends. I feel a little strange reading through some of these tributes, but I think, like all of us, I was deeply saddened by 9/11 and wanted to somehow pass on my condolensces to the families that were affected by this horrible event in our history. The deaths of everyone who lost their life on that horrible day truly symbolize "stolen life". I find it particularly sad in regard to the many young people taken - those in their twenties and thirties. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that Lisa's tribute stood out to me...I am also 30. She was too young to die. And, in her, I can not help but see any one of us that is in the middle of our lives. Again, please know that, even though I do not know you, I pass on my deepest sympathies. Know that you are in everyone's thoughts.

Lisa and I became friends 5 years ago when I moved next door to her mom and dad. Lisa and Richie lived in the apartment at the time. I first meant Lisa's mother and when I meant her all she talked about what a nice daughter she has and Lisa and I would be nice friends for each other. Well her mother was right. Lisa and I became very close. Lisa was a very special person to me and my family. We had alot of fun together. Lisa was so good with my two kids Christina and Michael. My kids loved her. All Lisa every wanted was to become a mother. She would of been one of the best moms in the world. She loved kids.

Lisa I miss you so much. As Christina would say you are an angel in sky looking over us. I think about you every day. We love you Lisa and miss you with all our hearts.

Love always,

Gina, Carmine, Christina and Michael

A Poem for Lisa

Dying Inside

by Natalee Fox

Something so hard

goes straight to the soul;

it seems impossible to get over

and my heart is left with a big hole.

I'm trying to be happy, wearing a smile;

but I'm dying inside.

The world seems to be fading,

and I just want to run and hide.

Everywhere I go I see your face,

and realize how much I miss you;

and on the day you died

a piece of me died too.

Love, Mary Anne

My wife and I moved in next door to Lisa and Richie about 2 years ago. Unfortunately because we all worked we didn't see each other that often. I would see her on the ferry sometimes, or as one of us were either coming or going. Whatever it may be it was enough time to realize that she was a beautiful person and to leave a void in our lives now that she is gone.

Lisa I know you are safe now, I will miss you very much. Our boat rides home, your innocence. You always made us all laugh, things will never be the same for us. We love you very much and hope you are watching over us. Goodbye my friend.

Lisa has meant more to me than just a sister-in-law these past couple of years. It is so hard for me to put into my own words how much she meant to me and my family so I found this poem during Sept 11th which I feel best describes her. Lisa is also love and missed by her nieces Ashley and Megan.She was a terrific Aunt.

A Friend is a Treasure...

When God gives us a friend

He gives us the best

And we know right away

How truly we're blessed.

For a God-given friend

Is steadfast and true,

So thoughtful and kind

And so caring, too,

And when we're in need

That friend is right ther

With a hand out to help

Always willing to share

Whatever life holds

Or tomorrow may send

We've a treasure to keep

When God gives us a friend.

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

To the Family of Lisa Cannava,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. My heart goes out to all of you as Lisa worked with my sister Pamela and they are both in heaven now with all the other angels taken from us that day. I know it is hard dealing with our losses but knowing that they are not alone and the whole world feels our pain helps me to cope with this loss. If you believe that their is a beautiful world beyond this one that we know then you can find comfort to know you will meet your loved one again. I hope that knowing that we all share the same heartache and pain and that our loved ones will never be forgotten somehow brings you comfort. I know that a member of your family attended my sisters funeral and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry I was unable to attend Lisa's Memorial but I am deeply saddened and send you my heartfelt sympathy. May God Bless your family and give you strength in this very difficult time.

Sincerely Desiree
