The Family Was Starting
She had found out early that morning that she was pregnant — news that was at once thrilling and unsettling since it was neither planned nor expected.

There were still so many things Patricia A. Massari, 25, had wanted to do before starting a family. Still in school at night, she wondered out loud that morning, as she raced to get dressed for work, if the home pregnancy test was wrong. She told her husband of two years that she would buy another.

"She called me at 8:40 a.m. to tell me she got the second test," Mr. Massari recalled. The couple stayed on the telephone several minutes.

Mrs. Massari, who worked during the day on the 98th floor of the World Trade Center at Marsh & McLennan, had been studying for an exam that night in world civilization at Berkeley College in Manhattan. A bubbly, outgoing woman, she had been looking forward to getting the test behind her and was excited about visiting the television set of Emeril Lagasse's cooking show on the Food Channel. A lifelong resident of Queens, Mrs. Massari had sent in her name last year to a lottery and won two seats for the Sept. 14 show. She and her husband were also looking forward to a vacation in October.

"Everything was cut short," said Mr. Massari, who was on the phone with his wife when the plane hit.

Not sure what to say?

Hey Trish, It´s been a very long time since I´ve written on here. It was so weird. I actually got here by googling my name just to see what comes up. Everyone once in a while you come up in my dreams. You´re always happy when you do. So I could only imagine you are happy where you are. I am sure you´ve seen all that is going on. I haven´t seen Nini in a long time. I´m told she wouldn´t know who I was anyway. What about mom? That came out of nowhere. She is fighting the good fight but...

Trish, may you continue to guide those who feel lost. Who have maybe forgotten your light, spirt, love. We may not have been blood, but we were family for a better part of 8 years. You always made me feel welcome and a part of your world. This past memorial was rough- for a certain reason, but know I will ALWAYS honor and remember you on that day.. Whether I'm in the city OR in a different state. I celebrate your life and continue to make sure everyone knows your name, knows your...

I was 16 years old on 9/11. I always loved NYC like it was my home away from home. I finally got to visit in 2018 with my 11 year old son. We were there during the 17th anniversary of 9/11, so we were there for memorial. Of course, it's for family and survivors only but we observed from a far and then visited once the ceremony was over. We brought a bouquet of flowers to lay down, but when we saw so many names, we decided to take flowers from the bouquet and place on names that called out to...

Thinking again of Patricia, her baby, and her loved ones on her birthday, she is never forgotten and her legacy lives on. Rest in peace and happy heavenly birthday beautiful Patricia. <3

Memory Eternal Patricia

I was not born during 9/11 I was born in 2004. Reading and watching about 9/11 about you has made me tear, it has stuck with me the most. Hearing about the love you had and your beautiful smile that was taken away from of all us and your loving and bubbly personality. I visit ground zero every year and place a rose in your name. I pray for your soul during your annual remembrance. Your taken away from this world so soon Patricia. Memory Eternal.

Memories are all I have left of you, as I get older they may not be as crisp as they once were in my mind. But the love I have for you still remains strong. I´m thankful for the time we had, Thankful that Joe is back in my life the last few years, at least I have a small part of you back. A small part of what life was like before we lost you. Grief is a burden I don´t wish upon anyone, and to have lived with it for so long is like a ton of bricks on my back just to have more pile on me...

Trish, Am so sorry this happened to you. I was floored when learning about this many moons ago. I have visited you several times on ground zero. You were a beautiful soul, a friend when I needed one. And you pushed me to finish HS when I was cutting. Your smile, kindness will never be forgotten. Love you friend, Rob Newtown HS Class of 93

Missing you and thinking of you my dear friend, Trish
