Deora Bodley, a 20-year-old college junior from California, was returning from an East Coast visit with friends when she boarded United Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. Bodley was devoted to helping kids. "She really touched many lives," said Kathy Almazol, principal of the school where Bodley tutored 2nd graders this summer.

Not sure what to say?

Hey D !! Team DEORA crushed it this year for the Climb - raising over $12,000 for Firefighter Aid. I met your dad n Murial and friends on Thursday at your preschool / church and lit 40 candles in honor of you and your fellow UA93 Heroes as our annual tradition and of course talked to Aly afterwards. Your belated "4:44" birthday back in June was fun too !!! Who knew non-alcoholic beer was actually pretty good ? Anyhow we miss kiddo everyday. Keep watch over us and send me a sign every now n...

I carry your legacy in my heart and through my actions. You are always loved,always inspiring and never forgotten.

Deora my Hero, I was so happy to see you at the 9/11 memorial in NYC, Its as if I was with you just then Miss u soo

Deora,I understand you love oreos? Then,let me raise a glass of milk and have a few oreo cookies in honor of your birthday! My best to your family and friends as well!

I've really been thinking about you lately. Well,you're always on my mind no matter what time of year. But the cold winter months here can be tough and somedays it's easy just to stop trying,and let my depression win. But you give me the strength to keep going. I just want you to know that. I keep wishing I could've met you in person to give you that hug that's I've always wanted to give you and tell you,"thank you." But I will definitely visit you at the Memorial in April!

Hey D ! Just checking in. Your tree is growing like a beast!!! I checked on it on Christmas Eve...your mom n I talked too over the holidays. Anyhow Team DEORA will be ready once again for the Climb this year!!!! Miss ya kid. gdogg

My spirit has lead me to your story. What a beautiful Soul. I will now never forget you and your loving kindness. No doubt you are a spiritual guide still helping many. I know were you learned it, because your mother is inspirational with her compassion and loving kindness. Thank you Deora and Debby.

I am a 16 year old Irish student doing research as part of a study on 9/11. Deora sounded like such a beautiful young woman who reminds me so much of myself and of what I aspire to be. She has reminded me of the gift of life and made me what to live it and treasure it to the best of my abilities. All my prayers to you all always, she'll never be forgotten xx
