So tragic. So beautiful.So young. I did not know you, i am just passing by.
it is painful even though i never knew you i cannot fathom how it must be for your loved ones you left behind. So sorry for all of you.
I never knew you, but in my memory you are the one who represents all the victims of 9/11 in my heart.
I send a kiss to you. You’ll be always in my heart and in my mind. God bless you.

I attended high school with Joanne at Rocky Point Jr/Sr high school. I am so sorry to hear about this horrible lose. I was a New York City Police Officer at the time. I am so sorry for the lose. May God Be With You.
Today is the 7th year of the Anniversary of 9/11.
It doesn’t matter if I didn’t know you Joanne.
I wish I was there to save you by telling you not to go to work later that day. No one knows the future.
The clock of life is wound just once and no one
will know their final hour here on earth.
Indeed there has been so much injustice in this world since man inhabited the earth and you were right in the middle of it September 11, 2001. May your life depict the beauty of everything that is good in the world. May the holy spirit give us light, strength, and love. I run in the NYC Marathon every year for our servicemen and women and for those who died 9/11. Your star in the sky now is shining down upon us in Heaven with God.

Joanne was an acquaintance back in the early 1990s at Stony Brook University. She was friendly and smart, and I’m sorry not to have heard better news.

I feel compelled to express how sorry I am about Joanne. I didn’t know her personally but she is the cousin of a friend here in Toronto. I can only imagine the pain of her family and the families of all the other victims. I can offer you no comfort, just my humble prayers.

A symbol of Greek presence in America, an ambassador of the best of Greek virtues in the United States. In your footsteps others shall follow as you have not gone in vain.
The light that shined in those beautiful eyes, was extinguished here but for a time. When on Heaven Seas we first arrive, we again see that light within those eyes.
Although I never knew you and never will your picture has touched me deeply. In your eyes the pain of 9-11 comes to me as a haunting dream. The youth and beauty that was taken from the world by your light being extinguished has made all of mankind the worse. I know your family must be devastated, for I know one such as you surely was loved greatly. In another life you now reside for ever away from the evil of this world. Rest with ever lasting peace.
Joanne, You don’t know me but as a fellow Greek, I feel I lost someone very close to me. It is just a tragedy what happened to you and the rest of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy. Your smile in your picture will always remain forever in my mind, and I hope your smile ensures the terrorist behind this that they have NOT (succeeded) in breaking the spirit of the American people. May your memory be eternal and may your family find the peace one day very soon in dealing with your tragic lost. Na se echi kala o Theoulis. With much love,
Dear Joanne, I know you are in Heaven right now, and I’m so sorry your life had to end this way. I myself am a survivor of those attacks. Everytime I see your picture I feel this connection even though we’ve never met. May God bless your soul always and please pray for us, as we will for you. I will see you one day at the gates of heaven.
