Answering the prompted question...Something I will always remember about my Aunt B is her ability to make everyone feel like they were important and mattered. Honestly there is so much I reflect on throughout the year, memories and the little things I miss more than I can say. I finally got to "visit" her at the 9-11 memorial in the city. It was fairly recently, I hadn´t gone since her actual memorial all those years ago. I think in a way it was because I dreaded the feelings and accepting it´s all so final. I realized a week ago when I lit my candle for her as I have done for the past 23 yrs, she has been with me and I will have her in my heart always. It´s not the end, it meant so much to finally see her name... she was HERE and she is important and she matters to many. Even people who never met her in life. I receive many messages from friends I have made along the way that will randomly reach out on 9-11 to say hello and to let me know they are thinking about her, ran a race in her honor, or completed a random act of kindness in her memory. It means so much to me that they continue her legacy and her name crosses their heart.
When I have visited this memorial page it´s always felt like a direct connection to her with that... Aunt B I love and miss you endlessly, I still have the phone number to your desk and there are so many times I wish I could just call it and try to prank you and make you laugh like used to and have a chat about how our days are going. I wish I could hear your laugh and to receive your encouragement, and get your advice. It´s been 23 years and it still feels like yesterday. You continue to inspire me and so many.

Dear Bridget - I still hold you so dear in my heart and call you my guardian angel. I know you helped me when I almost died in 2022. I prayed you were watching over me. You were. I miss our talks on the phone and my heart will always be filled with joy when I think of you.

As 22 years have passed I continue to pray for all the families who had to go through such an awful loss. On my first ever trip to New York I was able to capture this photo. When I got back home to Corpus Christi Texas I took it upon myself to look up Brigette Esposito to learn more about her life and in a way memorialize her. My deepest condolences go out to Brigettes entire family my prayers are with you and with her soul. Brille para ella la luz perpetua

I visited the 9/11 Memorial on July 11, 2022. I was so moved by the whole experience. One of the last things I saw there was Bridget's name on the memorial outside on the water fountain. I took a picture so I could remember to tell you - her family - that I - as a total stranger - was feeling your pain when I saw her name etched there. I am so sorry you lost your sister, daughter, cousin, friend, partner. I just wanted you to know that Bridget and all the people who died on 9/11 are not forgotten. I send hugs and condolences...

Aunt B,
It’s been a while. Rather then FB which I haven’t been on in over a year I figured I would return to your guest book as I have many times.
It’s unbelievable it’s been 20 yrs since you gained your wings. It still feels unfair, my heart still aches. I miss you. So much has happened in my life and in the world over the past 20 years. This day never gets easier, I have started a tradition the past couple years on September 11, to find a way to volunteer my time in some way shape or form and to connect with nature. I stay away from social media and the television I can’t see another high light reel of 9/11 with planes and towers, the chaos and fear of that day.
It’s important for people to not forget that day and those of us who lost a loved one NEVER WILL. We remember.
Today I’m off to my friends farm it’s a non profit that helps give back to children rescued from human trafficking and to various projects on island. It’s a special place to connect and build community. I will be doing various projects out there. I feel so connected to you when I spend the day in service.
I will light a candle as I do every year. I still wish you were here and wish I could just talk like we used to. I still remember your laugh and miss your sense of humor immensely. I wish we just had more time. I love you and miss you now and forever. Until I see you again~

Hi Brigette,
It is wonderful to read that after 14 years your memory is still alive and strong. I miss you every day but also know you are my guardian angel who I turn to for hope, advice and wisdom. If anyone reading my post would like to connect kindly contact me at [email protected]. I live in Queens and work in Midtown and would be thrilled to meet you in person. Thank you.

Hi Miss Bridgette, it's me. I was finally able to honor your memory on Saturday at the memorial. Your niece introduced me to you a long time ago. I was with a group of Airmen paying our respects and I never expected to have such a wonderful and touching experience. Thank you for making me feel welcomed. Your sister was there with her family and friends. I got to meet them in the most random way. It was almost as if it was planned :D I'm thankful for the experience and will forever cherish it. Thank you for looking out for us.

Hi aunt B. Another year has passed with out you. yesterday was the AF Ball and the project turned out amazing. All the guests I spoke with liked the memorial cards very much and planned to leave messages for the peoples families on legacy.com. during set up of the ball, I placed your card at General Robinson's seat so she could get to "know" you. I had a great time reminiscing about you with some friends there as well. I didn't know the rest of the committee put a slide in the presentation in your honor, with your picture and a little info about you. So there I am eating dinner and all of a sudden on a fifty foot screen I saw your face smiling at me. I could so feel you with me, it felt like you were saying hello to me. I got a little choked up. 1300 faces got to see your smile also. So many people are still inspired by you, a friend of mine started running races because of you and you have just given me so much determination to be the best I can be. As always, I love and miss you terribly. I know one day I will see you again. I will continue to live my life to the fullest, enjoy every second, laugh often and do ballsy things because I know you would want me to and have it no other way. I love you Aunt B!

Hey Aunt B! So I'm on the AF Ball Committee and its going to be on Sept 11th this year. I am in charge of making momentos for it and basically they will be 1,300 prayer cards each will be individual/unique, holy moly this is a task in a half. I know there were far more that passed that day but that's how many attendees will be at the ball so its a card for each of them. Anyway, I just started compiling the info and I am already balling. I don't know any of the people I am researching but I feel so connected to them, my heart breaks for their families. I am certain of one thing... you are in amazing company. Love you! Miss you! Aub

Hello to all the people here who have been so dearly blessed and whose lives have been enriched like mine by knowing Bridget Esposito. I didn't know this site existed until yesterday and boy was I glad to find it. (By the way is her named spelled “Bridget” or “Brigette” or both?).
It is comforting for me to read all the entries by her friends and family who so dearly loved this beautiful, kind, compassionate, funny and vibrant girl. My situation and relationship with Bridget was a bit different and I have never written about it until now.
In 2001, I lived in Boston and I worked in the John Hancock Tower for Mercer. As part of my job, I had to arrange travel for my bosses. I phoned American Express Travel for 3 years and spoke to Bridget sometimes 3x a day. I loved it when she was the person who answered. Over those years our friendship grew deeper. She would share things with me about her life. Her strong desire to have children and unfortunately the turmoil of not having that happen.
One day Bridget said in her great Brooklyn accent – “Hey Sharon, we gotta go out and I want you to come to NY and stay with me”. I was thrilled. Originally, we were to meet in August of 2001 but we had to reschedule because Bridget had to go to a shower or a birthday party or some celebration. So, we decided that Friday, September 14th 2001 we would meet and I would stay at her house in Brooklyn for the weekend. I couldn't wait to meet Bridget because we had such a great connection for 3 years and I was finally going to meet her in person. I see from these entries that she was on the phone a lot and talked to a lot of people!
On the morning of September 11th I was just about to call Bridget to go over the details of my visit. I also wanted to see if she wanted to see Stevie Nicks who was performing the weekend of my visit. I didn't even know if Bridget liked her but I did and I thought maybe she would. Right before I called her we got the news about the plane going into Tower 1. We had a conference room right near my cubicle that had a TV and we like the millions of other people in the world watched in horror. I knew Bridget worked on the 94th floor and something inside me said she's gone even though I did not want to believe it.
Since I worked in the biggest skyscraper in Boston, security told us to go home so I did. I just could not believe it and simply didn't know what to do with my thoughts and my emotions. I was hoping that maybe she didn't go into work that day, was going to go in later or maybe she stepped out of the building at that time. And another thing is I had no idea what Bridget looked like or how old she was. We never talked about that. My relationship with Bridget was just on the phone and just her voice. Her voice, her tone, her compassion was our connection and it was wonderful and strong.
With hesitation and fear, that evening I got up the courage to call her house. Her husband Michael answered and I told him who I was. He immediately said “do you know anything?”. Sadly I said no. I felt horrible for him and Bridget's family.
It was hard for me to mourn because I didn't even know what Bridget looked like. In my mind and heart I felt the pain and I could just hear her voice over and over but I really wanted to put a face to the voice. Then a coworker emailed me a picture of her. I couldn't believe it. I looked at Bridget and thought that she could be my sister! We both have curly brown hair, brown eyes and big smiles. I felt even more connected than before.
And after reading these entries, we are very much alike in personality!
I simply had to attend the American Express memorial service to pay my respects and give honor to this incredible girl I never met but almost did. I spoke to the organizer and he told me that Bridget told him that she was excited to meet me. It was very emotional for me to attend this service for this beautiful girl I almost met. I felt cheated that I didn't meet her. My mother tried to comfort me and say “Sharon, wouldn't it have been worse for you if you did meet her and then this happened?”. I couldn't really agree or disagree. All I knew was that I was in pain and lost a dear friend. But I did meet Bridget's family and husband and although painful I was so glad I did.
I keep Bridget's picture on my bureau on a St. Francis of Assisi statue that my deceased father had on his bureau. I look at it all the time. I talk to Bridget often, wish her a happy birthday on April 22nd and for some reason this past year I am missing her more than ever. In my heart, I feel she is my guardian angel.
Seven years ago I moved to NY from Boston. I know if Bridget was still here I would hang out with her and she would be my friend for life. We would go places and have fun. Yes, I feel cheated we never met but I have no choice but to feel blessed like all of you to have known her. We absolutely must remember her forever.
I also was supposed to meet Yvonne Bonomo that weekend who worked for American Express and died that day. Just like Bridget, I spoke to Yvonne quite often through work. Ironically, a few days before September 11th I spoke to Yvonne and said “Yvonne, where does your energy come from?”. And she said “Sharon, I had cancer when I was younger and every day I live like it's my last day”. I thought WOW, what a great way to live life. Yvonne always told me of the next vacation she was going on and she was always so up and happy and eager. I met her parents at the memorial and told them what she said. I miss Yvonne too. I'm sure she is having a blast with Bridget in heaven.
Thank you for reading this long novel here but I just needed to get it out. I would love to meet in person any of her family or friends that are in NY so we can reminisce and have fun as I'm sure Bridget would have loved. Please feel free to contact me so we can make this happen!

Aunt B,
It's hard to believe it's been 13 yrs. and one day since last I heard your voice. I miss you so much and wish I could just pick up the phone and give you a call. I plan on going to the memorial in the city next year enroute to India. I think it's time. I have seen it in pictures and it looks beautiful. Much different sight since I was there for your memorial. I love you. Wishing you Love, Light and Aloha up there.

We worked together a long long time ago and you were a sassy receptionist named Bridget Thomas. I loved your spirit and being around you. I had heard that you perished on 9/11 and it took me all these years to confirm it as I was hoping that it was not true. Rest in peace and my thoughts to your family on this sad anniversary and all other days.

I got to work today and an airmen I used to supervise sent me this email:
" As we go about our day today it is important that we afford the opportunity to reflect on what is important. On this day, twelve years ago our nation was attacked. We should all take the opportunity to remember those who have paid the ultimate price, the families of our brothers & sisters in arms, and those of the victims of the attack. In our reflection, we should also remember why we made the decision to wear the uniform, and the responsibility it calls us to. Today is a day that requires us to change our perspective. Too often we focus on what is only in front of us rather than the overall picture. We are in a time of war against an enemy who intentionally threatens our liberties.
This war is the longest in U.S. history, but each day we fight a war within us. It is a never-ending conflict that empowers us to do better, to perfect our performance & character. Take pride in your work today. Let the memories of those lost reverberate in your thoughts. As a team, the Air Force, and a nation, united we stand."-SrA Brandon L.
Very powerful for me. For one this airmen is relatively new to the AF and totally blew an old timer like me away this morning. I realize many of you that may read this are not in the service but I wanted to thank you all who frequent this memorial page for our Brigette, for your support and your kind words. The little things you all have written have comforted me over the past decade when I was sad, occasionally in harms way and I was comforting to come to a place where I could write to get my feelings out. I have cried and laughed reading some of your entries. I learned things about her I never knew. I relieved what a profound impact she has had on all of us. Without support of friends, family and sometimes strangers, those of us in uniform could not do what we do. Today I choose to honor Brigette's legacy by being grateful for all the blessings that are in my life. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart. Sending each of you today and especially my Aunt B, LOVE - LIGHT- AND ALOHA.

Bridgette, you are in my heart girl, I saw you grow from a little girl to a beautiful young lady. Your family did everything to try and find you, and now we know where you are, smiling down at us.

Say hello to my son, who is probably right next to you, for he is a special angel just like you!

Hey Brigette
11 years I have been going to this site and today instead of reading I am writing..It is a little over 30 years since the 3 different groups of friends merged into 1 group.You were always smiling and being a good person and when needed you had the tough exterior., I know those traits helped you 11 years ago today and also helped others with you..Thanks to Facebbok (I know it is big even up there) it helps friends get together again and remember the good times and good people obviously you know you are spoken of with a lot of fondness..The past few years Mike F has thrown a reunion which you would enjoy seeing everybody,but for now people enjoy speaking of you ..Unfortunately Dec 5th will be 2 years since Erin has passed but I think you and her are having a good laugh together again..Jeff Zuidema

I was one of her classmates from grammar school "Class of 81". We've made a group on Facebook for all of our classmates and had a reunion back in October 2011. She was mentioned by many of us and she is dearly missed. Since we lost touch, I always wondered what she was up to and where she was. I only found out when we created this group that she was one of the unfortunate souls from 9/11. I want her family and friends to know that I thought she was such a great person when we were kids and she is in all of her classmates hearts and minds for those of us who had the opportunity to get to know her. God Bless Her Soul and God Bless all of her family who loved her.
All The Best,

Aunt B,
Every anniversary of your passing is never easy for me. I reflect on all the moments we didnt get to share, the laughs we didnt get to have, the phone calls I never got to make, the holidays we didnt get to to share, the pictures you didnt get to take... the lacking that is in all our hearts that knew you and how special you made this place.
This morning was beautiful...seem to be an extra beautiful morning in hawaii. The sun was shining the sky was clear, the water was a different shade of blue today. As I ran I reminised about the memories I had with you, the good times, the phone calls I got to have with you your encouragement, your laugh, I remembered being a little girl and the excitement I would feel when I knew I was going to get to visit you, I remember you teaching me how to blow bubbles, I remember you letting me eat all your candy=0) I remembered how beautiful you looked inyour wedding photos when you were here in hawaii. It made me smile thinking that maybe you got to experience a morning like I was having where the sun rise greeted you while you were smiling and appreciating the simple beauty of it all. This morning I had a beautiful white dove that seemed to be flying/ following me all the way to the finish. I felt you were with me, I felt like I got to spend time with you. I would look down at my shadow and imagine you running right next too me. which I needed because I was dragging at the end (you know running is not one of my favorite things to do). LOL When I was done I felt like a weight had been lifted and all that hate I had in my heart had been taken away. I know you wouldnt want those feelings in my heart for another 10 years. As I watched the dove fly over the ocean I let it all go. I will always miss you and I will never forget Thank you for putting amazing people in my life to share this experience with and thank you for today. Rest in Peace Aunt B! Love you always

I never had the pleasure of meeting Brigette, but if she is anything like her niece Aubrey, then I am sure she was an amazing person! Today I had the pleasure of running the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5k at Pearl Harbor with Aubrey, and several other members of the Hickam Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight in honor of Brigette. She has not been forgotten, and will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the people who loved her and after today, she is also in mine...... It was a very memorable day.
September 11, 2011
Brigette, Your always in my thoughts. I honor you every anniversary of loosing you. I always watch for them to read your name. Chrissy and I miss your laughter and often reflect back on all the great times we shared with you. Life's milestones are just not the same without you. I am so grateful to have been your friend for the time we did have you. You will always remain in my heart. Love Beth

I worked with Brigette and Ben on-site at Burson Marstella at 19th St for American Express Travel Div I believe in 1993. Brigette and I went on a fam trip to Belgium and sat together in business class. I remember her always smiling. She had a strong personality and spoke the truth at any cost. She and Benito Valentine became close friends. I left Amex but went to visit Brigette and Ben when they were at 2 Penn Plaza on the 18th floor (ironically that's exactly the same bldg and floor where I worked for TWA) still working for Amex. The next time I went to visit them at 2PP I was told they had already gone together to work at an on-site for Marsh McClellan at the WTC. The week after the WTC attack I tried to get in touch with them... I finally got through all the red tape and got to speak to someone at Amex in 2PP. They gave me the horrible news that Brigette and Ben were among the "missing". Brigette and Ben were together until the end.. and will always be together watching out for each and their families. I remember them with love. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Brigette was special and I was blessed to know her!
I have a few photos of both Brigette and Ben but don"t have a scanner as of yet. The minute I can I will send you the photos.
With my Sympathy's

My Dearest Bridget,
May you be smiling down on all of us just as you did when you were here with us. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and miss your smiling face! I have it in my dining room and say hi to you every time I pass it by. You will never be forgotten.

Aunt B,
Well you got people moving it seems =0) I know you would be flattered to hear an amazing person road their motor cycle for miles in your honor and thought enough to learn about a person they never knew. It still amazes me how you continue to move people and effect lives. We all will never forget you. I will be running with my flight for you in the Stephen Siller 5K Tunnel To Towers Run here at Pearl Harbor. We are running in honor of you and in honor of the courage and dedication of first responders that acted selflessly on 9/11.
I know for sure you are in great company "up there". I know you will be with me all the way to the finish. LOVE YOU ALWAYS. Aub

I just did the 911 Ride on my motorcycle. When I checked in they gave all of us a card with the name of the person that we were riding for. My card had Bridgette's name on it. So with out prying too much, I wanted to research just who I was doing this ride for. It is a lot different when you put a face to the name on your card. I am from Maryland, and I watched the towers on tv the day it all took place. But even still I just can't wrap my mind around what actually took place. Doing this ride this year was amazing. I want your family to know that no one has forgotton you or anyone else that we lost that horrible day. We rode through towns that hundreds of people came out to greet us with flags, signs, salutes, high fives, tears and lots and lots of smiles. It was truly amazing. In fact I sobbed the entire way going through one town in NJ, I'm sorry I don't know the town. To Bridgette and her family and her friends, No One has forgotton. Please Rest in peace.

We finally got him! I feel a sense of closure now. Bin Laden's death doesn't bring you back but at least he can't live to see another day to hurt anyone else. A part of me wishes he could rot in jail for 3000 counts of murder. Watching everyones reactions on the news especially at ground zero was amazing you could just feel the excitement and relief. We never forgot and never will.
I miss you and love you so much I wish I would have told you how special you were too me more often. Cant believe its almost been a decade with out you in our lives. Rest in Peace our precious Brigette.

So its your birthday month....I wish I could call you on your birthday and sing to you "mariah scary" style. I was watching american idol and someone sang our song... now I hope he wins the show. LOL So I figured I would stop by because its been a while. I cant believe its going to be an entire decade with out you this september. Too long. The strange thing is I can still remember your voice and your laugh clear as a bell. Missing you wishing I could just call and shoot the breeze. Love aub

Well its here again,its the 9th anniversary of your passing. Every year I hope the next year I can make peace with it and I just cant. I cant help but feel robbed of you and all the memories that could have been made and all the fun that we all could have had with you. This time I am thinking of you from Korea. It doesnt matter where I in the world on this day I always feel you close at heart. I went to church today to say a prayer for you and all those that lost their lives 9 yrs ago today. I miss you and love you very much. Love Aub

Hey honey ~ I was talking about you last night. I was telling a friend about my first ever over-night adventure when I was 16. Do you remember all the chaos that trip caused? But my goodness we had such a great time...and it sealed our friendship. It was just the beginning of our adventures...
I miss you all the time....and I pray that you are happy and your are surrounded by what you love most...
I will never forget you! Love you xoxo

Hey Aunt B
Just thinking about you today and figured I would stop by. Halloween is almost here and I was looking at all the costumes at the store and I remembered how excited you were when you picked out Brianna's first costume. She was the custest piglet ever=0) Its just sad you never got to see her in it. I got my dogs costumes...(I know you are laughing at me up there) Chloe is going to be a fairy and Jaun-Carlos is going to be a cowboy they will help us give out candy and dog treats for the neighbors on Saturday. I wish you were here to see a pic of them. you would get a kick out of them. Anyway I ran across this picture and figured I would post it. I cant believe our bangs...LOL We were too stylish. I love this one of me and you! I think I was 13 in this one...you should have given me a style intervention. What was I thinking =0) Love and Miss you! Aub

Hey Brigette,
It was a very long weekend for me, and as usual whenever I think of Ben and everyone else we lost, thoughts of you are never far behind. We never went out to dinner and a movie, or just simply hung out like friends do from time to time. We met a few times in person and had several conversations over the phone and that is all it took for me to consider you a great friend. As the 8th yr reaches us and passes I find myself unable to find the words to express my sorrow. All I can say is that knowing you for such a short time was enough to have a special impact on my life that as I mourn for Ben, I mourn for you and I know this emptiness I feel will never go away. So here is a toast to one of the greatest friends I ever met in my life! I miss you and Love you with all my heart!

To our dear friend Bridget,
This day is one of many that we think of you and remember the good times we shared. We miss you so much as you must know. I'm wearing the yellow ribbon that was given to me at your memorial 8 years ago, and will light the candle from that day with the boys as we look at your picture and say a prayer, we talk about the wonderful memories we all have of you.
We hope you feel our love and it warms your big heart!

Hello up there Aunt B!
Had to stop by and visit. I am sure you know how I get today, and of course I heard our song on the radio this morning. It never really gets any easier on the anniversary. I can't watch TV, because they always play bits of 9-11 through out the day and I cant bare it. Its good to play it so america doesn't forget, but I just cant. My mind starts wondering what it was like for you that Tuesday morning and its just too much, my heart can take it. I love you so much and miss you all the time. This morning, the 20th fighter Wing at Shaw AFB, had a beautiful memorial for you and all the others who passed on 9-11 and for our other service members who have passed in the war on terroisim. I put your picture up with the display they had honoring you all under the flag pole. It was a huge formation. Its different when people see a face matched with the names and numbers. There was a prayer, the names were read, and the part that gets me everytime...they played taps and had a moment of silence. So many came out to honor you all, I know you wouldnt want all the hoopla but believe me nothing we could ever do would be enough. There is so many things I wish I could tell you, laughs I wish we could share. I wish more than anything you could be in my wedding on the 25th, and doing the macarena with me at the reception=0) I know you will be there in spirit. I will definitly lift a glass for you. As always, I carry you with me and thank you for watching over me during my last deployment. Love Aub

Hi Brigette,
Although we only worked together for a year at Young and Rubicam I thought of you as a true friend. I remember you and Ben being so excited about my pregnancy and I really thought it was great that you took the ride up to Westchester to watch my new little girl get baptised. I will never ever forget you and sitting across from you at American express and the funny conversations we had. God bless you and your family.

Aunt B,
Its here...my least favorite day of the year. I always try to think of a funny conversation we had and look through some old pics on the anniversay. I am deployed again some where in Qatar, And everyone is outside preparing to do the retreat ceremony in honor of the victims of 911. I wanted to go outside and though as you would say I am "one tough cookie", I cant help but feel a big lump in my throat and watching the flag go down slowly would may be a bit too much for me too bare. I wish more than any thing the flag was not at half mass and we wouldnt even have to remember this tragic day 7yrs ago..I miss you aunt B, I love you. Gotta go to formation... help me get through all of this.

Hi Bridget,
I just heard your name on TV which brought tears to my eyes. This day is so painful but i keep remembering the great times we shared, and hold onto those memories. As I hold your wedding picture in my hand I remember what a beautiful person you were both inside and out. I miss your laugh, and our late night talks.
We love you Aunt Bridget!

Bridget,
I am writing on behalf of Willie and myself. Willie has a hard time with the loss of you…well we all do. Here in Columbia SC on 9/11/07 a traveling Exhibit called the National September 11 Memorial & Museum kicked off its tour right here in SC. The museum will honor you and all the innocent victims of the September 11, 2001. Those that came to memorial could sign a beam that will be used in the construction of the memorial in NYC. It was a time to reflect and remember you in such a beautiful way. We all went…Willie, Aubrey, Anthony and I were there for you. We all miss you so much! It’s hard to believe another year has gone by with out you.
Thinking of you Michael, Yvette, and Mrs. T.
Love,
Maryanne

Hey Aunt B,
Not much to say, I just wanted to say that I miss you so much. I could use one of our talks right now. Things have been tough lately, but I know it will all work out. I heard our song while I was riding in the car last night, it never fails when I am at my lowest there is always a bit of you that comes my way...usually its that song. Its strange how much that comforted me. I love you so much. I was remembering today how when I was little you used to always let me steal your gum balls from your little machine you had at your moms =0) I remember that made me feel so special and grown up..LOL I was so silly. You are the best and I just wish we could have some girl talk.
Love,
Aub
