I can't begin to tell you how much your email messages meant to me upon arriving at work in Morristown, NJ this morning. My husband goes into the World Trade Center everyday (89th floor/North side -- literally right where the first tower was hit). He is a courier for the law firm that I work for. Fortunately, the accident happened shortly before he would have left for the city. One of our employees was trapped, waiting for oxygen when the towers collapsed. We all feared she died. Miraculously this morning we received word that by some miracle this woman untrapped herself and through unbelievable amounts of debris and smoke struggled down 89 floors to safety. I live in an area so hit by this tragedy (large population of commuters into that exact area), it is hard for me to truly comprehend what has happened. It will be days before we know what the losses are in our own community. Please keep us in your prayers, and again, thank you.

All I can say and it feels so inadequate is that I am praying for you all, The living the dead and the wounded may God be with you all in this time of sadness and may a spirit of Christian resolve be like a phoenix that rises from the ashes of this awful tragedy. God Bless & keep you all safe.
