  Karen S Juday

Date of Birth: February 22, 1949
Department: Operations
Position: Administrative Assistant

Karen (Hawley) Juday moved from Elkhart, Indiana 4 years ago to be with me in New York. She left a place she had been all of her life to go to a strange city and make a new life with me. I told her she had more courage than anyone I knew when she decided to make the move. I told her I couldn’t leave my kids and parents but Karen had a different view on life. She raised her kids as best as she could, she worked hard for many years. She had many personal tragedies and she said it was now her time and wanted to enjoy life with the man she fell in love with. She started a new career as an Administrative Assistant at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center approximately 3 years ago. She was a dedicated worker; she had a different work ethic than most of us in New York are used to. She had a job and she did it well and went beyond the call of duty to do that job well. That’s because that’s the way Karen was, she gave her all to everything she did. Karen and I did everything together; we loved life and wanted to spend it with each other. Karen loved this country and adjusted to New York very quickly. She called New York her home. She loved all the little stores in our neighborhood in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, especially the bakeries and pastry shops. She always smiled and was friendly even to the rude foreigners who have seemed to take over all the small grocery stores and newsstands. That was Karen, friendly, dedicated and honest. Then on September 11, 2001, a sunny beautiful morning, some cowards took her life away along with thousands of others. Our dreams were shattered along with many others. We had the best 4 years of our lives together and nothing can change that. I will love you forever my sweet lady. My name is Richard Pecorella and I have lost everything when I lost Karen.

  • Karen I miss you each and every day. You are my true blue friend and I will never ever be the same without you. I miss your warm and kind smile and of course our cube-hopping chats down the hall from each other. Nothing will take my fond memories of you away; you are in my heart.

    Richie- Please keep in touch; if you need anything please call or just want to talk, you know where to find me.

    Monica Gazzillo, co-worker & friend
  • Karen Sue

    I had one dream come true–
    That day I found you;
    My Beautiful Karen Sue…
    You were all I had hoped for.
    Could never have asked for more;
    The answer to my prayer
    With you–I intended to share;
    All my life, My Dear, so rare…
    Our memory, I shall embrace.
    No one will ever take your place….
    You filled my heart with joy and laughter;
    I shall remember that, For Ever After…
    Our time together was short
    Our love was like a fine port…
    It was you and I together
    Even through stormy weather
    Our Love was bold and true
    I will never let you go—
    My Beautiful Karen Sue

    Love Richie

    Richie, Domestic partner
  • Karen was one of the most genuine individuals you would ever want to meet. I would come over looking for Tom or Vinny and she would always be there letting me know how to reach them if they were out of the office or offer to take a message.
    She was always so helpful and nice. I would see her in the halls and she would always smile, sometimes if she or I were not in a hurry we would make small talk.
    Rich I am so sorry for your loss. I know Karen is looking down on you and her kids every day.
    May God Bless you. You and your family are in my prayers.

    Theresa Nugent, co-worker
  • Karen was a great aunt to me she was a friend and she was a role model and some that was very easy to talk to I didn’t get to see her much but I would always talk to her on the internet she would always make sure she said hi and asked how I was along with my family.Karen was a person I will never ever forget she was always smiling and always happy! I will never forget you karen as long as i live.

    krystal nolan, great niece
  • In April of 2001, when Karen visited Indiana her happiness and contentment were obvious. She had not only adapted to New York well, she spoke like she had lived in Brooklyn all her life. Karen said her life with Richie was like living in a fairy tale. She felt like princess. I will never forget her smiling face and bubbly personality. When Karen visited there was always lots of laughter. I think of her daily and miss her greatly. She will always live in my heart.

    Betty Krause, Sister
  • Hi Karen-you are missed every day in my home. You were the sweetest, warmest person that entered our home. Karen, you never had a bad word to say about anyone. Your heart should be put into everyone’s body so all would be as wonderful as you were. Michelle and Michael miss Aunt Karen very much. There will always be a special place in all of our hearts to always remember you, Karen. Enjoy Heaven because you are truly an angel now.

    Love, Fran

    Frances Callaghan, Sister-in-law
  • Karen I had to post to you again.. I hope you know how much I miss you.. I am trying to look out for Richie and keeping myself together.. It’s Christmas and the best gift was taken from me – you.

    Merry Christmas Karen, you will always be in my heart- you are an adored friend forever..

    Richie, fiancee/domestic partner
  • Dear Karen
    I just wanted to say that I miss you. Though we did not know each other a long time, I feel as though I knew you forever. You were a kind and gentle person. I am glad that I had the opportunity to know you. It was fun going out to dinner and going to the Cyclone’s game. I am sad that our friendship had to end due to people that hate so much and have no love in their hearts. We love you. Rest in Peace Love Rose and Don

    Rose Yost, friend
  • I worked with Karen for several years at Crown in Elkhart. She will always be in my memory. In spite of her personal tragedies she was always there for those around her. She had the greatest attitude. Karen, you are loved and will be missed.

    Janice Sims, Ex co-worker
  • Karen, you have one great guy there in Richie. During his time of need he reached out to us, the family of Vincent D’amadeo. You are in our prayers, and someday we will meet. Richie, you are in our thoughts in your time of sorrow. There is nothing I can say to ease your pain. Just be strong for the kids and keep kKren’s memories alive in your heart. Thank you for being there for us also. Anthony Paduano brother-in-law to Vincent D’Amadeo

  • Karen, it’s Valentine’s Day and I had to say hello again as you know I do every day.. How can I go to buy the candy without you telling me which chocolate Vincent and Richie would like best????

    I miss you and your loving ways, charm and demeanor..

    Please continue to watch over Richie and the rest of us missing you so terribly.. I appreciate and value every time you listen to me and guide me.

    Until we talk again – Happy Heart Day – like you always said to me.. Love ya KJ!!!

  • Richard,
    Although I did not know you or Karen, My heart and my prayers go out to you, and all who have lost what some of us never find- a true love. Today, the one year anniversary, I pray that you will find comfort in those around you who knew Karen, and that they will carry you through. I will be praying…

  • I found this web site by accident. For some strange reason Karen’s tribute page stuck in my mind. Maybe because my best friend’s name is Karen? I lost a neice in a car accident a couple of years ago. Our family rec’d a poem from a perfect stranger that was so fitting, I would like to share it with you. Even though the rest of the country does know you personally, we feel for you, we hurt for you, and we wish that you all can find peace. This poem reads:

    Tenses

    The past tense does not suit her.
    We speak of her in the tense of current time.
    She dwells in the present.
    She is beautiful.
    She is smiling.
    She is loved.
    She is of action.
    Is of the momnent.
    Is of living now, and here.
    The past tense does not suit her.

    The past tense does not suit her.
    We can not speak of her in only now.
    She wears the future well.
    She will always be beautiful.
    She will ever be smiling.
    She will never be without love.
    She will live her life to the fullest.
    She will always know that she cannot predict
    What the future holds.
    The past tense does not suit her.

    The past tense does not suit her.
    But now we have no choice in diction.
    She is held out of now forever, without consent.
    She was beautiful.
    She was always smiling.
    She was loved.
    She has lost all her possibilities.
    Of present
    Or future,
    But the past tense does not suit her.

    The past tense does not suit her.
    We cannot lose her in “would be” or “was”.
    She must be kept in “is” and “will”.
    She is beautiful.
    She is smiling.
    She is loved.
    If only in memories…
    She will always be beautiful.
    She will always be smiling.
    She will always be loved.
    As long as those memories don’t fade into the past

    The past tense does not suit her!

  • Dear Karen,

    I visited my brother’s memorial on Legacy.com, Steven Jacobson’s, and found this website through Richie after reading his tribute to you on the Legacy.com site and was so very moved by his absolute and undying love for you. You and he were truly blessed with having found each other…and loving each other so much – something many of us never get to experience. From this and the legacy site, it sounds like you were truly a “rare find”. Please continue to watch over Richie and your family…even though we all know that you are probably doing that anyway.

    Regards,

    Janice

    Richie is an amazing person…surprise, surprise. He really stands up for what he believes in and doesn’t take crap from anyone. He’s being a good ear right now while I’m going through some pretty stressful times and he makes me laugh. Who needs drugs to fix things when you have Richie? Well, anyway, watch over all of us and keep us strong…and say hi to my brother.

    Hugs,

  • Dear Richie-

    I have never met you or Karen, but I am inspired to be a better person by reading about her and the love you shared. Every time I complain about something insignificant that the man I love does to bother me, I will remember never to take him, or our relationship, for granted. You sound like a brave, kind and loving man who has an incredible connection to Karen. May God bless you and help ease the pain of your loss.

  • Happy Birthday baby I love you.

    May the good lord be with you
    Down every road you roam
    And may sunshine and happiness
    Surround you when you’re far from home
    And may you grow to be proud
    Dignified and true
    And do unto others
    As you’d have done to you
    Be courageous and be brave
    And in my heart you’ll always stay
    Forever young, forever young
    Forever young, forever young

    May good fortune be with you
    May your guiding light be strong
    Build a stairway to heaven
    With a prince or a vagabond

    And may you never love in vain
    And in my heart you will remain
    Forever young, forever young
    Forever young, forever young
    Forever young
    Forever young

    And when you finally fly away
    I’ll be hoping that I served you well
    For all the wisdom of a lifetime
    No one can ever tell

    But whatever road you choose
    I’m right behind you, win or lose
    Forever young, forever young
    Forever young ,forever young
    Forever young, forever young
    For, forever young, forever young

  • The love that Richard has for you Karen is unmeasurable. You truly were blessed when you met him. I wish that you had 100 years together but I can see from how devoted he is to you, you must have packed a 100 years of living into a few years. You are a beautiful lady and I wish I knew you. Watch over Richard, Karen (I know you do.

  • Hi Baby Happy Easter to you Im going to miss your glazed ham and your sweet potatoe pie but not as much as I miss you . Im sure your seeing all the crazyness going on regarding the aftermath of 911 its insane the politics and all the bull thats being thrown around . I know your looking down on us and trying to guide us on how to handle it all but Im going nuts. As you know I have become ill. I believe because of my exposure at ground zero but proving it is another matter. But I guess the only proof will be when I die and they do an autopsy. I love you Karen please help keep around for a while my duahgters and parents need me. So please put a word in with the big guy.

    Love Richie

  • I knew Karen through Richie; he is a dear friend and a wonderful father – he was so happy after he met Karen. Karen and Richie were perfect for each other – and they planned a long life together. It has now been five years – and Richie’s determination to never let Karen or the other victims (and their families) be forgotten -is as strong as ever, in spite of his own health issues. G-d bless Karen in heaven and Richie down here with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both on this sad day. Stay strong, Rich – Karen is watching over you.

  • 9/11/06 today – Richie, I do not know you, but I was looking at some different sites today. I am thinking of you and everyone else. Please keep writing and let all of us — friends and strangers alike — know how you are doing. Please try to stay healthy; you are obviously a strong person, but don’t forget to lean on someone else as well. Take care.

  • Dear Karen,

    Each day is a hard day for all of us, especially Richie. Give him the strength to get through all of this. He really needs your blessings now more than ever especially since he’s not well. As I said on my brother’s memorial site, I wish each of us had had the chance to say goodbye.

    Hugs,

    Janice

  • Dear Karen,

    As you know, Richie is going through some very tough times right now. So please pay extra special attention to him and give him the strength to persevere. You see, he’s my “mighty mouse” when it comes to never giving up no matter how difficult the situation appears; he always seems to find a way to get through it.

    Karen, always know that you are in our hearts and thoughts forever.

    Hugs,

  • Another year Karen. Please look down on your loved ones. I watched the live newscast on Fox yesterday and waited for your name to appear. It breaks my heart when it took nearly 2 hours to get to your name on the list. All those beautiful souls taken far too early. You were among them. May you rest in peace sweetheart.

  • Dear Family, for years I did not watch anything about 9/11. I lived close by and the coverage stressed me out. Recently I saw the footage of jumpers, and I want to say that my heart goes out to all of them. Life is so precious and should not have to end this way. I think about these people, this horrible decision they were forced to make. If I could I would go back in time and rescue all of them,pick them out of these photographs, put them back into thier lives where they belong. My heart aches for them and their families and I hope you have found peace. Rest in peace Karen Juday, and all the rest. When someone is so small in a building, then the building is too large. May we find the path through technology and back to humanity.

  • I ran across a tiktok video this morning where, Richard, talks about his Neverending love for Karen. He recounts his last moments with her, and how he watched the tower she was in burn. The agony in his voice broke me. I couldn’t stop thinking about his story all day. I decided to look up Richard,and i see he has passed away. I know he’s up there with Karen, and finally at peace. Tomorrow is 20 years since this horrible attack. MAY ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL SOULS REST IN PEACE . YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN <3
