Just the Girls
It was a perfect summer night. August 28, 2001. The 60th birthday of Maria La Vache: wife of 38 years to Joseph, mother of Mary Jane, 36, and Bernice, 33. Mrs. La Vache did not want anything fancy or special, she insisted — just a nice quiet dinner with the family. They went to the River Cafe in Brooklyn.
"We had a beautiful time," recalled Mary Jane La Vache. "We laughed, talked and celebrated our lives together."
Mrs. La Vache worked as a receptionist for Marsh & McLennan, on the 99th floor of 1 World Trade Center. Her daughters will miss their "girls' night out," when the La Vache women would take in a movie or go to the theater or out to dinner.
They could talk to her about anything, they said. That is why they never moved out of their parents' home in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn. Mrs. La Vache enjoyed meeting their friends. And her Italian cooking.
Which reminded Mary Jane La Vache of some unfinished business. Her mother recently redesigned the family kitchen. All it needs now are shutters for the windows.
I just would like to say I visited the 911 site memorial and just broke down crying when I've seen all the names ur name was one that had popped up on my phone as I've taken the picture and I just wanted to say R.I.P even tho I don't know you wish you'll well Ms. Maria Lavache you'll always be missed.

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.
