Kenichiro Tanaka

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Please realize that it gets better, and I'm sure Kenichiro wouldn't want to see you sad, but rather with a beautiful smile on your face.

My son Kenichiro Heard your name this evening on September 11th 2012. He is only 6 and a half years old and he is just starting to understand what happened 11 years ago. Hearing his/your name, touched him in some way and moved me to look up who you were. I pray that your family has found the strength to stand tall again and give their best to the world that they live in. May you rest in peace in the spiritual world. Someday I would like to introduce my boy to your family.

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In memory....

DEAR GOD SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THIS LONELY NAME...KENICHIRO TANAKA AND MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE WITH GOD AND HIS ANGELS..GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS..GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NEW YORK...MAY GOD AND HIS ANGELS GREET YOU AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN...AMEN

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow....
