Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Why waste time on TV when you could read or bike or help somebody out? Jean Andrucki did not even own a set. Instead, she played on two Irish women's teams: soccer on one and Gaelic football on the other. She kayaked with her 3-year- old nephew. "She's paddling," said Laura Andrucki-Izzo, her younger sister. "And he's belting out 'Row, row, row your boat.' That says it all about Jean."

Her job was doing risk assessment for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. After hours, Ms. Andrucki, 43, was usually either helping to care for developmentally disabled children or elderly neighbors in Hoboken, N.J., or she was jogging or hiking. Her passions were nature and animals ‹ the wildlife of South Africa and Peru, which she visited, and of Hoboken, which she fed. "The squirrels would climb seven floors to her terrace," Ms. Andrucki- Izzo said.

"She loved animals and gardens and writing and poetry," she continued. "She had a British heart. But it was more Oscar Wilde than Jane Austen. More a smart, tough American woman with a soft spot."

Not sure what to say?

In rememberance of you on this tragic day. To this day I still have your name on a sticker on my motorcycle helmet from the Million Bikers to DC ride to commemorate those fallen in the terrorist attacks on this nation. May you Rest In Peace!

As always, thinking of you Jean. Living life, experiencing joy, searching... all the things you did. As long as I live, you will be remembered with a smile and thanks - for showing me that life is an adventure to be explored. x

Through out my ups and downs with my career, I´ve often lived by `what would Jean do´. At the ended of my time with the PA, I am grateful for your decision to hire me. Most of all, for showing me your integrity, leadership, honesty ,ethics, and drive. Even though I am retired now, I will never forget you.

To Jean, I walked with my grandchildren around the train station in Metuchen where there is a memorial to those who died in 9/11. We found Jean´s name and I told them both what a wonderful, strong, caring person she was. I miss her often. Tina Nannarone

Twenty years Jean.
That you have never been found still devastates me.
You disappeared. All I can hope for is that you actually didn't. That your incredible energy is out there, doing something else. You were someone who searched, who had to learn and improve and grow. Maybe you'd grown enough in this life.
Onward and upward... If anyone has moved onward and upward, it's you. I know you're out there, and hopefully you and my mum - one of your besties - found each other out...

Rest In Peace

Your life was inspirational and your memory a treasure
You are cherished, remembered, and missed beyond measure
RIP

The candle will be lit that entire day, sunflowers by your name, nuts on the balcony, toes painted a different color, an act of kindness, extra love this year. I’m sure you are caring for all. Much love being sent to you and all

There’s not a day that goes by I don’t say your name.
