A Traveling Homebody

Christy A. Addamo was beautiful. She had big dark eyes and brown hair as shiny as mink, which she liked to have her mother, Rita, fix in an upsweep. And smart: she made the dean's list at Queens College, where she got a degree in accounting that led to a job at Marsh & McLennan on a high floor of the World Trade Center.

Brave, too: she loved to travel, to places where she could swim with stingrays. She also liked to be home, learning Italian cooking at her mother's side. She melted chocolate and poured it into umbrella-shaped molds that became lollipops served at her friends' bridal showers. At 28, she had begun thinking about being a bride herself one day. She had a pack of friends, who accompanied her to Yankees games (she liked Paul O'Neill, and saw him and the rest of the team capture the 2000 World Series) and on long walks around the city (she kept a pair of sneakers at the office).

For birthdays and other milestones, she would compose poems. For her parents' 25th wedding anniversary, she and her sister organized a big party. At Christmas, she took the whole family to Radio City for a show.

"Ah," her mother said the other day, remembering. "She was the best."

Single Memorial Tree

I never knew Christy. I was only 14 years old when 9/11 happened. I looked up Christy's name after I took a picture when I was in New York during Thanksgiving of 2021. I came here to pay my respects and let her family know that I will keep them in my prayers. Even though time has passed, the pain of missing your loved one never goes away. I wanted to share the picture I took of the memorial and Christy's name and hope it gives you peace.

20 years has passed and the sadness of this day still lingers. May Jesus wrap his arms around and comfort those that loved her . Rest in Peace Christy ....you and the many innocent souls will never be forgotten

On this 20th Anniversary of 911, I am truly very sorry for your loss always. Do you know or remember if Christy ever went on a trip to Fort Lauderdale with a friend or cousin in the late 1980s or early 1990s? I met a young lady & her friend there at the time and she mentioned to me that she worked in the Twin Towers doing accounting/finance work. I always ponder if this was Christy. Please let me know if you believe this was her. Either way, God bless on this truly sad day. Bill M.

I did not know Christy. I just try to research people each year who passed away 9-11. She sounded like a really cool person. I'm so sorry for your loss Addamo family, friends, and coworkers. I will never forget & now I will never forget her either.
