Grace Galante Date of Birth: August 2, 1972 Position: Mortgage & Bond Securities This tribute is for my Beautiful wife Grace Galante, born on August 2, 1972. Grace and I met in the summer of 1989, and were married on February 13, 1994, “THE HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIVES.” She lived life to its fullest, and her family and friends meant the World to her. Grace has an older sister & brother, Cathy & Franco. Gracie’s joy in life was showering her nephews, Francesco and Andrew, with love and affection, as well as her niece Teresa. Grace especially enjoyed watching Teresa develop into a young lady who had the utmost admiration for her Aunt. She would always think of things to do to make them HAPPY. In the summer of 2001, we received good news from Cathy and Jason that they were expecting another child. Grace & I were very excited. Grace was hoping that Cathy would have a baby girl this time around. I can bet she is smiling when we found out that Cathy is having a GIRL. In honor to her sister, Cathy will name her child Grace. Gracie’s caring and responsibility are some of the things we will miss most about her. She was giving and always helped those that needed it. Being with her family and friends was most important to her. I will never ever forget my wife and hopefully one day we will be reunited. On September 11, our lives were shattered by a senseless act by cowards…they took our dreams and future away. We will always remember her as she was: “A GREAT WIFE, DAUGHTER, SISTER, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, SISTER-IN-LAW & FRIEND TO ALL!!!!!!!!”

Grace was like the sister I never had, she was my best friend. We were always together, I loved spending time with her. There is no one like her- she was one in a million. Grace was always there for me when I needed her, she was a very important person in my life and I will always remember her as she was, happy and fun-loving. She was the best!!!! I will never forget her.
I had the pleasure of working with Grace for about two years. I worked on the Mortgage Desk. Grace was full of life and laughter. Though she was consumed with worrying about work, her sense of humor is profoundly missed. She was so content with life and loved her husband very much. My condolences to the husband and the entire family during these difficult times. “Grace, you are missed very much and may you rest in peace.”

I had only met Grace and her husband once at a family friend’s house.She was beautiful.What I do know by word of mouth is that she is loved and missed very much.My prays are w/ her husband and family.
Gracie was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Every time I would see her, even if it was after 2 years, she would always say hi, and it would be like we had just spoken. I will forever remember the last time I had seen her in May at the Daytime Emmy Awards. She was so happy, she loved her soaps. One thing that I do know is that Gracie loved her family more than anything. When she spoke of her nephew Francesco to me last time I saw her, she was so estatic. She was truly a great person. Gracie, I pray for your family that they will be strong through these tough times. On that horrible day I also lost my cousin Danny, and we now pray that you are in good hands. We have gained so many special angels and the two of you are our special ones. We all love you and miss you very much. You will forever be remembered. Take care of each other.
I want the world to know, what a beautiful person we have lost. Grace was always smiling. She was a kind and generous person, always willing to help you when you needed it or to give some good advice. She was a great friend. She and John were a beautiful couple. She is forever loved and sorely missed by all of the lives she has graced. I am forever grateful that I have crossed paths with her and wish she was still here to live out the glorious life that she and John deserved. I know that she is in the best possible place she can be “Among the angels”.
Grace, you are so very missed and still very much loved.
Although Grace had been a part of my extended family for many years and I spent time with her at family occassions I’m sad to say we never really got to know each other. What I do know is that she was a devoted aunt to our niece and nephew, Teresa and Andrew. She always gave her all to them and treated them as if they were her own. I will always remember her for that. My family says they see Grace’s smile in Teresa now and I believe her caring and giving spirit will continue to thrive in them.
My prayer for John, Josephine and all of Grace’s family is that they would take comfort in and trust that The Lord has a will, and someone as special as Grace was needed to brighten up Heaven.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 KJV
I met Grace when she started working for Cantor over 10 years ago. We became instant good friends. It was hard not to with someone of Grace’s nature. She was always smiling and laughing. I don’t think she ever had a bad day. After I left Cantor, I did not speak to Grace as much but (as her friend Nancy said before me) every time I spoke to her, whether it be a year later, she always made me feel as if time never changed anything and we were still good friends. I thought about calling Grace only days before Sept. 11th but I got sidetracked and never picked up the phone. How I regret that now. I wish I could get that day back.
Not one day has gone by that I don’t think about Grace and my old friends from Cantor. To John, the Galantes, and the Susca Family, my heart breaks for you every day. My prayers are with you.
Grace (I used to call her Gracie), you were a pleasure to work with. Every morning I was greeted with her thick South Brooklyn accent and a smile to light up the world. She was kind, outgoing and just fun to be around. I will miss her. I can just see Dan Pesce and Gracie both looking down on us (they are both gone now, two friends from the old neighborhood who perished together). G-D Bless you… My condolences go out to Grace’s husband and her parents. May the Lord lift you up and make the load lighter to handle. Seek his love and grace, it is there for the asking.
GRACE
You will always be in my prayers. You were such a sweet and gentle person. You went to heaven with such wonderful people. Please pray for us, too.
I remember the first time I met Grace. She was with John when they started dating. I knew that she was a special person because John had that look of love in his eyes, that I had never seen before. Grace had the greatest personality, she and I could talk about anything and, boy, could we yap it up. Just ask John. She was the most caring and loving person especially when it came to family and friends. I will miss Grace tremendously. She will be in my heart forever, and I will never forget her. My deepest condolences go out to the Galantes and Susca family. Grace, may you rest in peace in the God’s kingdom.
I worked with Grace for two years. We sat next to each other for two years. We had so much fun. It was great working with her. We spent our time laughing and smoking in the bathroom (John, don’t get mad), and gossipping. She played matchmaker for me and my fiance Charles Murphy who also worked for Cantor and is now deceased. But she was genuinely happy and excited for me when I told her that we had gotten engaged. She was going to help me plan my wedding, because anyone who knows Grace knows that she would be able to get the best deals.
She worked at Cantor for so long and was waiting for her gold watch that everyone is supposed to get for their ten year anniversary. Even after I left we remained really good friends and talked all the time. She was just so happy all the time. John, she really loved you so much, I know it makes it even more painful to hear someone else say it. And if anybody knew, it was me because we shared so much with each other. She was one of my closest friends.
Grace, I think about you every day. I know that you and Chuck and Claudia are all together looking out for each other and all of us.
Love, Lynna
People are often measured by their accomplishments in life; if this were true Grace’s worth could never be calculated. She was ambitious, steadfast in her beliefs, and most importantly the pillar of our family. I often joked to people I had a second mother-in-law.
Her concern for my wife Cathy was uncanny. Never had I seen a bound similar to that of Cathy & Grace, truly forged by unconditional love.
My brother-in-law John was the center of her universe. Heaven forbid someone speak badly about her husband, they would feel the wrath.
Although she was the youngest sibling she often displayed wisdom beyond her years. Grace acted as a second mother to her brother Frank, and kept a
watchful eye in addition to a caring heart much to his dismay.
Speaking for my son Francesco, he could not have a more devoted or doting Aunt. Grace loved him beyond words, for this I grieve for them both. Her niece Teresa and nephew Andrew joined my son as her little entourage. She loved them all, and they can’t comprehend the void that has been left in their lives.
Grace Galante devoted her life to being a woman that commanded respect. She was always there for her family at a moments notice. Her parents Lucrezia & Francesco Susca have lost a jewel of a daughter.
Lastly, my words for my sister-in-law: Grace we had many laughs, many spats, and many different views. Yet in the end, I always had the utmost respect for you. You opened your home to Cathy & I, and for this I am eternally grateful. You showered my son with love, for this I am forever indebted to you. Your flame will burn brightly as I will never let a day pass without telling at least one person what a special human being you were.
Love, Your brother-in-law & friend Jason
My sister Gracie, One of the things I regret most about Gracie being gone is she did not have a chance to be a mom. The biggest compliment I think I can give to Gracie is, she would have been the greatest mother of all time. I wish she were given the chance. Although she could not fulfill that wish herself, her lessons will not be lost. I know I will be a better father because of her. I will pass her love on to my children. I am grateful to have shared in her passion for life.
When we see each other again one day, she will be welcoming and ready to host as she always did, and I will give her the biggest hug, like all the ones I should have done a million times before.
She maybe gone but never remained closer to my heart. Her voice echoes clear and strong like never before. Like a guardian angle at my side.
I miss her SO much, her laugh, her smile, her smart little comments. Just her saying my name.
Every time I smile I share it with her. Every time I see a sunrise she will see it too. Everything I do for the rest of my life I share with her. She will barrow in my senses forever. I am everything she was and all that she would be.
To my loving sister Gracie, I know you can read my words, and hear my voice. But only you and God now can feel my heart. Nothing I could ever write can express that.
Love Your Brother,
Franco.
I don’t really know where to start. There has been too much laughter to re-cap every moment and so many memories that will be held in our hearts forever. From Gracie locking herself in the bathroom until her parents agreed to let her sleepover to us being all grown-up and having all our laughs at work over e-mail. I treasure our laughs and conversations throughout the work day- everyday. I looked forward to getting in to work
in the a.m. to read Gracie’s first e-mail (which usually entailed her calling me a “bum” because I would get to work late and she’d be un-entertained until I got in). Our last e-mail was on September 10, 2001 around the 5:00 hour. We discussed what Cathy, “Prego”, would need for the baby if she was having a girl, never for a second thinking Gracie wouldn’t be here for it.
Not a day goes by when I don’t retrace that morning on my way to work, what I was thinking, how hard I was praying and what, unbeknownst to me, was going on for her from the moment I had heard the news to when I was trying effortlessly to get in touch with family to see if any one heard from her.
Those who knew her understand the anguish of losing her and those who never met her have truly missed out.
Love Always,
Fran Picciano (cousin)
I met Grace in 1991 when I started working for Cantor. She was so sweet and understanding that it was a pleasure working with her.
I can’t help but come back to this web site and feel such heartache. Grace is still so very much missed. My thoughts and prayers are with John and Grace’s family. Although months have passed, I know it doesn’t hurt any less. Her friendly smile could brighten a room and the void in everyones life is gigantic. I know that I will never forget her. Her friendship is forever etched in my heart.
I worked with Grace for 5 years in cantor and sat next to her for 3 years. We became close friends. I left there and for a few months did not really talk to her that much and one day she called me and I will never forget how happy I was to her from her ever since then we kept in touch.She was a great person and I will never forget all the memories we shared. I will miss her dearly. To her husband John and family I give my condolences.
Grace, And all my friends who I have lost at cantor will be in my prayers always.
Down in my heart in my soul, I wish that you were here to spend the holidays with us. I miss how you use to always help out. I remember when you helped me out when I was sick. You helped me by taking me to the doctor. I remembered your 100 watt smile. When I found out about you having a baby I felt happy. IN CONCLUSION YOU WERE A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON TO ME. LOVE AND KISSES!!!
Just a few words about Grace. Even though I didn’t know her that long I felt I wanted to write something to let people know how much she will be missed. She was so kind and just the sweetest person I ever met. Just by knowing her the short time I did you can tell how much she loved her family and friends. She was the type of person that would do anything for them.
To her family your always in my thoughts & prays. Gold Bless!
Dear The Galante Family,
Grace was a very sweet girl for her memory will go on and she will never be forgotten.Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.Godbless .The Brenker Family
Honey, I miss you so much. Today I looked at our pictures that we shared all the great times we had. I don’t know how to communicate with you but to write to you. Hopefully you can see this letter. I don’t know if I should believe that you would see this but I hope you do. I was looking at the time we went to Italy and all the New Year’s Eve pictures and wish I can bring them back, so I can be with you. Of course I am listening to Eros while doing so. I just want you to know I LOVE YOU SO MUCH You are always in my HEART and on my MIND.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Grace:
I remember getting the call from Lucy. At first I didn’t put it all together. Then it hit me and all of the times we all spent together started to play in my head. The holidays, the trips to Brooklyn to get pizza, which I never understood why we would go all the way to Brooklyn for pizza. What a person you are. I am sorry for the disappointment I caused you. I will never forget you. To John: I hope the day will come soon when you are at peace for I know how much you cherised Grace. You are a great man and I wish you peace and serenity for the rest of you days. I know in my heart and mind that Gracie is watching over you until you met again.
God bless you and your families.

I MET GRACE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT THE BUS STOP. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO WORK. I REMEMBER HER TELLING ME SHE WORKED FOR A BROKERAGE FIRM. I DON’T REMEMBER HER TELLING ME IT WAS CANTOR FITZGERALD. I ADORED HER FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME WE MET. SHE WAS SO CARING, SO HELPFUL AND SO WARM. ALTHOUGH I WAS OLDER THAN HER, SHE TREATED ME AS HER PEER. MANY TIMES SHE WOULD SEE ME WALKING TO THE BUS AND CALL OUT TO ME AND WE WOULD WALK TOGETHER. DURING THE SUMMER 2001, I DID NOT SEE HER THAT OFTEN. ON 9/11/01, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE BUS WHEN SHE CALLED OUT MY NAME. WE WALKED TOGETHER. WHEN WE WERE ON THE BUS, SHE SEEMED TO GET AN ASTHMA ATTACK. I WAS CONCERNED AND TOLD HER I WOULD GET OFF THE BUS WITH HER TO GO BACK HOME. SHE SAID SHE FELT BETTER AND THAT SHE HAD SEEN A DOCTOR ABOUT HER CONDITION. WHEN WE REACHED THE CITY, I WALKED WITH HER THROUGH THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. WE SAID OUR GOODBYS, AND I PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH TO THE FINANCIAL CENTER TO THE EXCHANGE. A FEW MINUTES AFTER I REACHED THE EXCHANGE, THE HORROR BEGAN. WE WERE ASKED TO EVACUATE OUR BUILDING. I THEN HAD TO LOOK FOR MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER WHO ALSO WORKED AT THE EXCHANGE. THANK GOD, I FOUND THEM AND WE RAN FOR OUR LIVES. MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY TO GRACE’S HUSBAND, MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER AND BROTHER. SHE WILL BE MISSED SO. I THINK OF HER OFTEN. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WEBSITE UNTIL THIS MORNING.
Dear Grace,
Well I guess this is how we communicate with you. Nine months have gone by already and I still can’t believe you are no longer with us. Why did you leave? We need people like you on Earth to make it a little brighter, a little sweeter and more peaceful. I just want to tell you some things I’ve been feeling since September 11th.
I keep replaying that awful day in my head. I don’t know if you knew this but I also worked in the WTC. I worked in Tower 2 on the 99th Floor. I always felt so lucky to work up there, sometimes it felt like I was in Heaven with the clouds around us and rainbows in the distance. Well, we weren’t so lucky after all. September 11th started out as any other day. Minutes after I got to work the first plane had hit your building. I didn’t know what was going on but I knew somethng was wrong so I headed for the stairs. Around 10 minutes later an announcement was made that a plane hit Tower 1. We all just assumed it was a small bi-plane, an accident. I kept praying for you as I ran down the stairs because I knew that whatever type of plane it was it hit high because I saw the smoke from my window on 99. I was somwehere around the 40th Floor when the second plane hit my building. At this point I still didn’t know what was going on but I was really scared and was concentrating on running faster. I was so scared for you Grace. I kept calling out your name in my head telling you to hurry up and get out. I know how scared you were; I know what you were feeling. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. You’re a strong woman I kept telling myself, she’ll get out I said. All night I kept calling my brother asking if he had heard anything. I kept praying for you, hoping you were just lost or couldn’t get to a phone. For days we prayed that you would turn up. I still had hope for you and my many co-workers that were missing but those days turned into weeks, the weeks turned to months and I lost that hope and gave up.
I have known you for a long time but it hurts me to say that we never got the chance to become friends. I would see you at the occasional block party, birthday party and most recetnly, my brother Christopher’s wedding where we were both Bridesmaids. I remember going for our fittings together, we hadn’t seen each other in such a long time and you were so sweet and friendly, it was like we just spoke the day before. I have lots of pictures from Christopher and Jeannie’s wedding, you looked so beautiful! You are also all over the wedding video, dancing up a storm! I’m glad you had a good time that day. That was the last day I saw you.
I’m heartbroken that I never got the chance to tell you that I thought you were sweet, caring, smart, funny and of course beautiful. The next time we meet, whether it is in Heaven or in another life, I promise I won’t let the opportunity pass to become your friend. I’m sure you’re in Heaven right now making it a more beautiful place. Until we meet again may you rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy goes to John and your family.
Love, Danielle
I am so grateful to have gotten to know Grace. She was always laughing and smiling. So much fun to go out with, she’d have you dancing and laughing all night. I’ve only really known her well for a short time. But what I’ve learned about her was that family was so incredibly important. She had a beautiful smile and wonderful personality. She will be forever missed.
Dear Grace: We always considered Grace & John our extended family. We shared many happy occasions, weddings, birthdays, or just hanging out in the Court. Grace & John were such a beautiful couple & so much in love! Grace was so bubbly and full of life, she had a heart that could wrap around the whole world. She loved life & her family unconditionally. Then tragically on that horrific day, a young beautiful woman was suddenly gone. So many hearts are broken beyond repair. Grace, please give your parents & family the strength to go on knowing you are watching over them. Please give John the courage to face life without you, but know you are in his heart eternally. When we see a rainbow, we will know you sent it to us. When we see the sky full of stars, we will know you are the brightest one. You blew a kiss to Christopher & Jeannie on their wedding day, now I would like to send one back to you for touching so many lives, and to say happy birthday with the angels sweetheart.
With much love,
Happy Birthday Grace.
Grace,
You had a wonderful smile and a great personality. I thank you for all the times you welcomed me in your home (And for the chocolates too!) Every time I look at the puzzle of Angels that you and Deanna put together, I think about you both and that the both of you are looking out for John and I. You are missed dearly.
Dear Grace,
Happy 30th Birthday Grace. I get so sad when I think about how your life got cut short but I hope you are safe and warm and happy.
You are missed dearly. I know you are watching over us and smiling.
Love, Danielle Ippolito
I did not know Grace but she worked with my boyfriend Todd Isaac who also lost his life. Last year while I was programming Todd’s palm pilot a reminder came upon the screen that said “Grace’s Birthday”. He wanted to make sure it would be a fun day at work for her. Since Sept. 11 I have searched for Grace’s name trying to put the name to a face. Not having her last name it became a difficult task and I fooled myself into thinking that she was safe at home with her family. Recently, I’ve seen her portrait in the Times and my heart sunk. I’ve found the Grace that Todd wanted to make laugh on her birthday.
To her husband, family and friends I am sorry for your loss. I feel your pain each and every day. And all that I could possibly hope for is that Todd was there holding her and trying to make her laugh in their final moments.
So Grace, Happy Birthday and take care of Todd for me.

One day a friend of mine told me about the Cantor Memorial site and after reading the tributes to one of my dear friends Monique DeJesus I decided to scroll through the names. I came across Grace Galante…..the last name was unfamiliar to me, but Grace, not too common of a name, I decided to check it out. It saddened me to find that it was Gracie Susca a friend from St. Mary’s. I hadn’t seen Gracie since elementary school, she was such a nice person. As I read her tributes I saw the kind of person that she grew up to be and would not have expected anything less. Unfortunately your time was cut short and you were taken from your loved ones. My prayers go out to you, your husband and all of your family and friends that miss you.
Until we meet again.
Melanie

Dear Grace,
Happy Anniversary in Heaven. I can’t believe it has been a year and a half, you are truly missed.
Love, Danielle
I just recently found out about Grace from an old friend of both of ours. I was stunned when I heard the news and my heart broke. I knew Grace from Port Richmond High School. I STILL remember when Grace first came to the school. She was so quiet and shy, and sweet! And of course so pretty! We got to know each other and she became a great friend! We lost touch after high school but I always wondered how she was and what she was doing. She deserved so much more out of life but to everyone who knew and loved her, they should be at peace knowing she is an angel in heaven. I know that doesn’t make it any easier, but it’s just so hard to find the right words. I just wanted to send my condolences to her family, friends and loved ones. God Bless…

Happy 31st Birthday Grace.
We are all thinking of you and we love you. Happy Birthday.
Danielle Ferrandino
Dearest Grace: We want to wish you a very “special” birthday with the angels. On Saturday we went to Angels Corner to bring you some flowers, and you had so many beautiful flowers, balloons and cards, which shows you are so deeply missed and loved. Grace, you will never be forgotten. I am sure your birthday candles are burning bright in heaven. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Happy birthday sweetheart.
All our love,
Gina & Peter Ferrandino
Last night I visited Angel Circle in Staten Island. Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing Gracie, I was drawn to her picture. As I said a prayer in front of her tribute my tears just rolled down. She was an absolute knock out, what a gorgeous face and I’m sure inside as well.
Tonight I am returning for the memorial ceremony, I will light a candle and say a prayer for her loving family. I offer you my condolences and wish love and peace. Rest in Peace Gracie
Grace, today makes two years of that horrible tragedy. Sorry it took so long for me to write. You were a special person to alot of people. Even though we did not speak to each other on a daily basis, everytime I would see you, you would always come over and talk to me. I can’t believe such a beautiful person is gone. You had so much going for yourself and all that got taken away from you for no reason. I just wanted to tell you that I miss you and think about you. You are an angel watching over us from heaven and will always be remembered.
You ae the best aunt ever!!! I love you and i miss you a lot!!! i wish you were still here

Dear Grace,
Happy 2nd Anniversary in Heaven. We miss you terribly but I know in my heart you are OK. I just know when you got up to Heaven you brightened it up, just like you did when you were with us. Until we meet again, keep smiling and keep shining.
Love, Danielle Ferrandino

Dearest Grace: It is so hard to believe that it has been two years since that horrific day, when you left this earth, but you never left our hearts! We all prayed so hard for you to be found safe. But I guess God needed a very “special” angel, so he called you home. You may not be here with us where we can see and speak with you, but you are where it really counts — in our hearts eternally. You are loved and missed so very much, but when we visit Angel’s circle we see your beautiful smile and remember happier times. We know you are the brightest star shining down on us. Happy second anniversary with the angels sweetheart. Rest peacefully.
In our prayers with love,
Gina & Peter

Sono solo un Italiano che vive a Ginevra e visitando questo sito sono molto emozionato da questa foto ! Mi chiamo Giovanni anch’io e una strage così non ha frontiere ! 3 Giorni fà sono scoppiate le bombe a Madrid … e la storia si ripete ! Quando finirà ?
Dear Grace,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE!
Dearest Grace, It’s so hard to believe that it has been three years since that tragic day, the day you left this earth, but not our hearts, to become a “special” angel. Nothing has changed, you are still very much missed and loved. You are always in our hearts thoughts and prayers. Happy anniversary with the angels. Rest peacefully sweetheart.
With much love,
Gina & Peter
Dearest Grace: We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas in heaven. Although you are no longer here with us, you will be never forgotten.
With lots of love,
Gina & Peter Ferrandino
Sadly, I never had the pleasure of meeting Grace, but I know she was an amazing person. The way her Family, and Friends speak of her is a constant reminder that -The world is a lesser place without her. I have seen many pictures of Grace, hanging on walls, and smiling in the frames of those whom loved, and befriended her. I am reminded quite often, of her kind heart, warm smile, and deep devotion towards her family, and friends. Although I never met Grace, I feel like I knew her… Mere words cannot describe the magnitude of sorrow I feel for Grace’s family, and friends in their losing her. I also foward my condolences to the many friends, and family, who were meant to come into her life, for they too were cheated of ever having known Grace. I am richly fortunate to have been given the opportunity to know the family. They are wonderful, loving people. If they are in any way a testament to who Grace was, then I too miss her deeply. May you Rest In Peace, and live on in the hearts, and smiles of those whom you touched the most.
Dearest Grace: Another year in heaven celebrating your birthday, another year missing you, another year in our prayers, another year not forgotten. God bless and keep you in his care. Happy birthday sweetheart!
With love,
Gina & Peter
Dearest Grace: It does not seem real that four years have passed since you were so suddenly taken from everyone who loves you. Time passes quickly, but memories of you do not fade. You will always be remembered and loved. Happy 4th anniversary with the angels sweetheart. We hope you are resting peacefully.
With much love,
Gina & Peter
Dearest Grace: Well here it is again, another Christmas that you are not here with us. Time goes by so quickly, but your memory will never fade. We know you are a very special angel in heaven. I hope the lights on your Christmas tree are shining as bright as your smile. We’ll visit you at Angels Circle. Merry Christmas sweetheart.
Much Love
Gina & Peter Ferrandino

While I am at peace knowing that Osama will never destroy anyone else, and that he received what he truly earned, the realization is that my sister Grace is not here.
Thank you so much to all our armed forces for their braveness and tenacity. Thank you for bringing justice to all who lost their lives on September 11th. God bless you, your families and the USA.
Dear Grace – May God bless and always keep you in his care. Ten years have passed, but thoughts of you never will. Rest peacefully sweetheart.

On this 11th Anniversary of the tragedy, I just wanted Grace’s family and friends to know she is not forgotten….she is an angel in Heaven watching over you all. God bless you, I know you will see Grace again. She was beautiful and is an inspiration to me.
