She Dances in His Heart
Frank and Shannon Fava would have celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, so Mr. Fava was in a reflective mood this week. He remembered the first time he saw his wife. She was walking into a bagel shop in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. She was 18, and he was shy.

"I had seen her once or twice before, and I just had to talk to her," Mr. Fava said. "I'm a shy guy, but we started talking and just clicked."

What he thought might have been a fling turned into "my first true love," he said. "I watched her grow into a woman."

The woman Shannon Fava became loved to hug their 3-year-old son, Joseph Anthony, rent movies and laugh. Mrs. Fava, 30, worked as an assistant broker for Cantor Fitzgerald and lived in Bensonhurt. Mr. Fava said he can almost still see his wife dancing around the house to whatever is on MTV. He thinks that might be because she called after the plane hit her tower and said, "Tell the baby I'll always be with him, and you."

Remembering Shannon on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

Thinking of you today. I have been coming to this page for 10 years since I visited NY and saw your name. Praying for your family

Shannon. I am your second cousin, Marge. Your dad and I were cousins. Although we never met, I remember a number of times how your dad spoke about you and how much your mom and dad loved you. Living here in New York, I was able to see the World Trade Center, and now the Freedom Tower every day and immediately thought of you. As I am sending my note to you, I am listening to the ceremony taking place now with the reading of the names. I love you Shannon and will forever keep you in my...

I still have such memories of that horrible day and I think about you a lot during the year. Rest in peace.

Shannon, Thank you for giving me lasting memories of a veracious human being. Your strong mind-hold and quick wit made a lasting impression on me. Rose and Dennis thank you for introducing me to Shannon. She will forever be in my heart. I will never forget.

My dearest Niece Shannon, I think about you every day and miss you so very much, you will never be forgotten as long as you are remembered for the beautiful heart that you possessed. Love you always and forever, Uncle John.

Dear Shannon, i was assigned your name for a class project. We were instructed to write a card with your name on it and some of your characteristics. I just wanted to share with you or anyone else who reads this what i put. I think that you were caring, considerate, fun, loving, a good mother and wife, and a overall beautiful person. I hope you can rest in peace and know that you are loved and you are missed.

Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, I often thought of you. I do know that your parents couldn't have asked for a better, sweet daughter. So many times since that day I have thought of you quite frequently and as I watched the new tower being built you were in my thoughts every day. During school this morning everyone was talking about 9/11 and I was sharing your story. Rest in peace dear Shannon.
