Kathleen Nicosia

MY SON ATTENDED SCHOOL WITH KATHLEEN'S DAUGHTER. KATHY AND I WERE CHAPERONES FOR MANY 'FIELD TRIPS' TOGETHER. I DID NOT KNOW HER WELL, BUT MY MEMORIES OF HER ARE ALL HAPPY ONES. SHE WAS SOFT SPOKEN AND KIND. HER PRESENCE ON THE TRIPS MADE THEM BETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS EASY TO TALK WITH AND SWEET TO A FAULT. I REMEMBER SEEING HER IN HER FLIGHT ATTENDANT UNIFORM, AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY, WAITING BY THE FLAGPOLE IN FRONT OF THE DALRYMPLE SCHOOL FOR MARYANN. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A FRIENDLY HELLO FOR ME, NO MATTER HOW HER DAY AT WORK HAD BEEN. MY SON AND I OFTEN SPEAK OF HER AND OF MARYANN, AND WE WISH THAT WE COULD EASE THE PAIN THAT HER DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND MUST FEEL EVERY WAKING MOMENT SINCE 9/11/01.

I want you to know i have been praying for Kathleen since 2002. i am currently 22 and we all received a name braclet from a victim of the 9/11 tradegy. she was my person and i have prayed for her ever since. Now comming up on the 4 year aniversary i wanted to let you know that she is still in my prayers and thoughts
