Others who have been there

President and Mrs. Obama with Marion Kminek at the 10th Anniversary of 9-11

Now ten years later that day seems like yesterday but at the same time it seems like a hundred years ago. There have been family births and deaths, marriages and divorces, changes of residences and new friendships. The Pentagon Memorial Service was beautiful but I was detached until Vice President Biden made the statement: “I know what it is to get that call.” Once again sharing our grief with others who had been there really did make a difference and helped us to heal. ACCESS does that very same thing. Victims families are put in contact with those of us who have gone through the same horrible day of grief and actually mean it when we say, “I know how you feel.”

Marion Kminek, Cape Coral, FL, lost her daughter Mari-Rae, 35, on American Airlines Flight 77 on 9/11/01
