Tiger Woods, Meet My Wife

Neil Shastri married his college sweetheart, Kruti, three months ago. The wedding pictures had not even come in yet, but married life had already changed the man. Mr. Shastri was called a "big health freak" by his relatives, a man who lived on PowerBars, played basketball and golf religiously and wanted a Tiger Woods poster on the living room wall. His wife said no. Tuesday, at 9 a.m., Mr. Shastri, 25, called her, according to his twin brother, Jay, who was putting up missing-person posters on Lexington Avenue on Friday. Mr. Shastri told Kruti there was a lot of smoke, that he was having trouble breathing. Then he hung up. An information technology consultant, Mr. Shastri had been working in the offices of one of his clients, Cantor Fitzgerald, on the 103rd floor of 1 World Trade Center. Jay Shastri said his twin immediately befriended people. "It might sound cliché-ish right now," he began. His sister-in-law, Priti Naik, 28, finished for him. "If you met right now, he'd be your best friend by the end of the evening."

Happy Birthday!!!

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 remembrance....

It is very hard to know what to say at a moment like this--everything turns out to be a platitude. We did know Neil but live next door to The Shastri family. Although we did not know Neil personally we have spoken to your family about him and know how proud they are of all of their children. God rest your soul.

Greg & Heather & the Walker family

I didn't know you personally, but you were related to a family friend. It really made me sad when I found out you were a newlywed. I am sure that your family and friends always have you in their hearts.
