Handling Travel, and Crafts
Two years ago, Karen Renda decided it was too boring at home. With her two boys — Daniel, 19, and Matthew, 15 — pretty much grown up, she traded her full-time homemaking career in Staten Island for a job as a travel agent.
But working for American Express, arranging trips for executives at Marsh & McLennan on the 94th floor of 1 World Trade Center, did not mean Mrs. Renda, 52, forgot her crafty side, her husband said. She still made silk flower arrangements and wreaths for Christmas.
And last February, for her youngest son's Valentine's Day school dance, she was in charge of the centerpieces for the tables — stuffed bunnies in pink and white that needed to be decorated with hearts and bows and arrows.
"One day I come home and the whole table was full of these bunnies staring at me," said her husband, Charles Renda. "There were about 100 of them."
Mr. Renda said he knew she was the one the minute they met on a blind date in 1972. "We immediately hit it off," he said. "She was very ladylike, very different from the girls I met in New York."

Hello my name is Elizabeth,
Dear Karen, I know I didn't know you personally or anyone who lost their lives on 9/11 but My daughters knew someone who knew who did. That's less than six degrees of separation; for all we know we may have known and not realized maybe someone who we passed by who smiled our way at some point in our lives and brightened our day and never even knew their name who knows. We did used to live in New Jersey growing up and a lot of our family was from New York...

Although I never met Karen, I worked with her husband in 2001. In the days following 9/11 his devotion and love for her was so poignant...and his hope for her rescue as he daily called her cell phone. I have always remembered her on the anniversary...and in a special way on the 10th anniversary, I remember both Karen and Charlie (and their sons). In honor of a beautiful love and a life taken too soon. I hope that you have found comfort and that you will all be blessed with peace, joy and...

Prior to 09-11-2002, the churches in the Tacoma, Wa., area had handouts with victims names in them. All they asked was that you do an act of kindness in that persons name. I had Karens name and information in the phamplet I picked up. I'm a quilter, and since that time I have put "In memory of Karen Renda, 09/11/01 WTC" on over 60 charity quilts and think of her all year as I complete them. She won't be forotten!
