Time for Her Sons
Because Peggy Alario's Bronco was always the first one in the commuter lot and the last out, her friends on Staten Island staved off alarm as the hours passed on Sept. 11 and her little green truck was still parked there. But Mrs. Alario, a manager at Zurich American Insurance Company, had been at a meeting on the 105th floor of 2 World Trade Center.
With only a high school diploma and some college courses, Mrs. Alario, 41, put in 12- hour days and Sundays, proudly building a career that had her working on national and international corporate policies.
Her most successful partnership, however, was her 18-year marriage to James, who worked at home so he could watch their two sons. "I did everything around the house for her so she wouldn't have to worry and could spend time with the boys," said Mr. Alario of his vivacious, outgoing wife, whom he met on the dance floor and who still loved dancing at Rod Stewart concerts.
Mrs. Alario always got home for the final Little League innings, to supervise homework and put the boys to bed, making the sign of the cross over their foreheads. Only then would she put on running shoes and tool around the neighborhood for a good 45 minutes. "She worked so hard so we could retire early together," Mr. Alario said.

I am a student learning about 9/11 and Margaret is who I am writing about. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

As always, I watched the 20 year memorial to hear your name, as I wear the mercy band bracelet with your name.

You are sorely missed, Peggy. Your boys are grown and successful. I call Jimmy every year on 9/11 with a broken heart for your loved ones. My memories ar New Springville Little League will stay with me forever. Rest in eternal peace

In 1996 I came to NYC from Tashkent, Uzbekistan for 3 month training program with AIG. Peggy Alario was appointed as one of my mentors. She has generously shared with me her professional knowledge. I was impressed by the skill this graceful lady was handling with her proffesional domain - the accounts of giant international fashion industry corporations. Peggy's kind and cheerful personality is not to be forgotten. Let her soul rest peacefully in heaven.

Although I did not know Margaret, her memory should live on. I picked her card which had a picture and a short bio of her at my university's memorial table on 9/11. I instantly researched her and wanted to get more insight into the life she lived. She seemed like a wonderful mom and wife, who deeply loved her family and prioritized all her down time to spend as much time with them as she could. As a college student, she is an inspiration of someone who could balance work and family, something...
