To my precious son
Michele lost her son Seth, 18, aboard a military aircraft
Seth was killed, along with 19 other proud and brave marines on April 8, 2000 when their MV-22 Osprey aircraft crashed during a training mission. He was the youngest one on the plane, only 18. He said he would do whatever it took, including give his life, if that is what was necessary for all people to live free. He is my hero, the bravest soul I have ever known.

The Airport
Sara lost her best friend, Louise, aboard a private aircraft
“It has been 2 years since the airplane hit the towers and 3 years since I lost my friend. I am not the same person that I was before everything happened, but I am enriched with an understanding that I could not have gained without my loss. I will never go to an airport again without feeling a small amount of sadness, but I have grown.”

that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly

In Memory of a Mentor and Pioneer
Submitted by Alyce Branum
“More than anything, I would like Tammy to be remembered for the remarkable woman she was, and for all that she gave by paving the road for all the woman who road her coat-tails. To see her remembered only as a victim would diminish all she contributed to the role of women today.”

From “The Normal Family” by Edith Fraser
Helen & Larry lost their daughters Chrisha, 28, and Brenna, 25, aboard TWA Flight 800
“We were on Long Island the first week in July and visited the memorial and left flowers. The memorial shrubs and flowers continue to grow and they were blooming beautifully. The following is a poem/story that I first read in “Bereaved Parents USA” Vol. 23, Number 2, March/April 2002. It helped us, perhaps it will help others.”
