My sweet Nicole,

It has been 7 years since you were taken away from us. I miss you so much. I can only imagine what your life would be like today. All of your cousins are married and having children. We now have three baby girls born in the family that have your name. Your sister Tiffney is married and your brother Wayne is now your age, 21. How the time has gone by but yet still seems like only yesterday. I can still see your beautiful smile and hear your contagious laughter. I walk by your bedroom every morning and can only picture you in it. I have not been able to let your bedroom go. Someday, I will find the strength to go through your belongings and give your things to your family and friends, but as of now, I still I find comfort still being in your room and I'm not ready to do this. Life can throw us many heartaches and pain and although this is the worst heartache and pain that a mother will ever go through losing her child. I find my comfort and strength Knowing that you, Nicole ,are in a much better place ..HEAVEN..looking down us us, smiling and cheering us on to keep going and living a happy life knowing that we will be together again. When this time comes I know I will be able to hold you in my arms once again.

Love you forever,

MOM

 

 

To My Little Sis,

 

Today marks 7 years since you stepped onto that airplane thinking you would be home in a few hours. You were probably thinking about how awesome it was to visit New York and New Jersey for your first time, yet looking forward to just being home with family, friends, and your little Nikota. We were all looking forward to having you back too. Yet it wasn’t meant to be. There were other plans for all of us. All of our lives changed since that day, and I won’t deny that it hasn’t been a struggle. I miss you so much. I miss having someone here that knows what I’m thinking without having to say it. I miss having my life’s side kick. I miss holding my little sister in my arms and kissing her forehead. There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t find myself thinking about all the precious times we spent together throughout life, and the many conversations we had growing up, as we were trying to figure it all out. Just the other day, as I was driving in my truck, the Dolly Parton song “I Will Always Love you” came on the radio. It brought me back to a time when we were both in high school. It was a fun time because we were sisters dating brothers who had horses…and we loved horses! J We just spent the day riding horses at our boyfriend’s house in Gilroy. You just broke up with your boyfriend that afternoon. You cried all the way home, as I drove us home in my Honda CRX, and I remember that Dolly Parton song was on the radio. Although you were sad at that time, it was a moment in time when you were here, and it was wonderful. It was a time when we were both just trying to figure out how life works. Do you remember that day? I know now it would bring a smile to your face too. I feel so blessed to have had you as my sister growing up. We learned so much together and went through life’s ups and downs. One of my favorite memories is when you turned 21 and I took you out to celebrate in Chico. I remember us walking downtown, you putting your arm around me, and your head on my shoulder, and you said “I love my sister.” I can still here your voice as you spoke those forever treasured words. On that same trip, you insisted we go to the store and get a disposable camera. I’m so thankful for that now because I have pictures of some of those precious moments. We also went hiking with Dad in upper Bidwell, and jumped off the boulders into Chico Creek. Those pictures are some of my favorite to look at today. I’m so glad you made me take you to the store to get that camera! J Nicole, after you died, I realized how much pictures meant to me. With pictures, you can capture little moments in time and keep them forever. Photography became my passion. I started taking pictures of everything, and taking photography classes so I could learn to take better pictures. I’m now teaching photography to junior high students and love it! Nicole, you were a light in my life, and truly a blessing to me. You helped me to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.

God had other plans for you, so I must continue to do all that I can while I’m still here. I must continue “to dance,” to be happy, to share, to love, to laugh, and most of all to give. This is how I can keep your memory alive, because all of that was you! Nicole, I love you, and will never forget you. I’m blessed that you were my little sister for 21 years. I keep you alive in my life with everything I do. You are my inspiration and my hero. Until I see you again in heaven, know that your big sister always holds you close. I can feel your spirit with me everywhere I go. I love you my baby girl!

 

Forever your sister, Tiffney 9/11/08

 

I cant believe its been five years. I am thinking of Nicole today. I grew up in Almaden and went to school with Nicole. I come to her site every September 11th to honor her. I have also introduced new friends to this site so they can learn Nicole's story and honor her spirit. Last year I left a message telling Nicole that I was pregnant with a baby girl, my baby girl is now 9 months old. I have a new found respect and heart ache that I share with Nicole's family. I couldn't imagine losing a child and my thoughts and prayers are with Nicole and her family. Know that I still think of Nicole often, the combination of 9/11 always makes me think of her, whether its 9:11 on a clock or $9.11 change from the store. I think of her and smile knowing that she is in a beautiful place and she is looking down on her family and friends.

Much Love,
Mandy Freeman-Stallcup

PS. I am grateful that you keep this site up for Nicole, it is beautiful.

 

Nicole,
I can't believe that it has been 7 years since you left. I just wanted to let you know that I still think about you. You still are very much missed. Sending you lots of hugs.
Kat (bacio) Garcia

Dear Cathy and family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today (9/11/08) and always remembering your "Sweet Angel Nicole"!

Sincerely,
Mary, Kelsey and Melanie Heater
Clovis, CA

 

My Dearest Nicole:

Where do I begin? I must say that every year 9/11 rolls around again! I know you are safe with God and a beautiful Angel watching over us all now from heaven. Though we never met, I still think of you often and look up to the clouds and say a prayer for you, your family and smile, while shedding tears of course. It may have been 7 years ago today, but it is still all so fresh in my mind. I want you to know I have become a freind o your Mom's and she is doing o.k. She is such a strong lady, so there is not telling where you get it from. All I can ask of you is to please continue to watch over her and the rest of your family and bring them peace and keep them safe. Thank you again for your bravery. You are a hero in all our eyes. Know that each time "One More Day" plays on the radio you are thought of and cried over and I also think of your sweet Mother who loves and misses you so very much. Until my next entry, may God be with you protecting you always.

All My Love,
Nicole Jackson and Sons
Canton, NY

 

Dearest Cathy and Family:

As another year rolls around it still hits me as fresh as ever of the loss not only your dear family, but our whole country took that day. I get goose bumps just thinking about it. I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always not just on 9/11 which rolls around once a year, but throughout the year as well. Words cannot even begin to express the sympathy I hold for you all. Please know that if there is anything you ever need, I will be there. Cathy our friendship means so much to me. I feel that Nicole brought us together, not only because we share the same name, but as an Angel from God. Please remember to always stay in touch when you can. God Bless you all!

All My Love,
Nicole Jackson and Sons
Canton, NY

 

 

 

Hello,

I never knew you Nicole, but found your memorial website today
by fate on this 7th anniversary.
I am deeply moved and touched by reading the website.
It made me cry, but, the love people have for you lifted me up again.
I saw your photos, and read all the loving words and poems
your family and your
friends had made. You are a special person, and i just wanted to
say that.
God Bless you and your family.
Love and Peace,

Kevin Crabtree

Sept, 11, 2008 Today I want Nicole and her family to know Nicole and the other's we lost are in our hearts. We remember them and and miss them and we will never forget them.. Rest easy my beautifull angel.

Hi Nicole,
I was reading all the new enteries on your site. You are loved by so many people, some you knew a lot, some you hardly knew, and some you never knew. I think that speaks volumes of you.
I was reading your sisters entry, she is so right about pictures having such a big purpose. Your mom sent me pictures of you and I back in High School. There were some pictures I didn't even know exsisted. But when I look at those pictures it brings me back to those days.
I wish there would have been more memories, but I know I will cherish the ones I have.
My fiance (stephaine), daughter (Taylor) and I went to your site yesterday. We brought flowers and a ballon butterfly. Hope you like them. The weirdest thing happened, we were all sitting down, and all of a sudden Taylor got up and kissed your picture. I thought that was pretty cool.
Well I never know how to end these letters, but I want you to know you are missed so much.

Scott

 

Dearest Nicole,

It is hard to believe seven years have passed since you perished in that courageous flight.

We all miss you terribly and wonder what you would be like today – would you be married with children? Living in or out of the US? Still into fitness, maybe teaching? Your life was cut too short, but we remember the 21 years you did have, and how you filled every day with light, love and laughter.

I lit a candle for you on Sep 11, and another for Cathy and the family. It is my small way of keeping your spirit alive, which I do every year.

I hope you are smiling up in heaven as we celebrate your life down on earth. May God be with you, and bless you, always.

Love, Erin

 

I didn't know Nicole, but ever since I visited the 9/11 website your daughters name stood out for some reason, and the Nicole Miller Memorial web page is truly a beautiful tribute to her, letting people like myself and others know that not only did the events of 9/11 take away people we cared about, but also took away a history of life. Little things such as being a baby coming home from the hospital, learning to ride a bike, and spending holidays with friends and family.

I am so so sorry for your loss, but hopefully the memories of Nicole's history will still bring smiles to your faces.

Just another person Nicole and the whole Miller family touched.

Very loving tribute to your dear Nicole. After reading your notes and love, and the words from the song "I need a SIGN...to let me know you are here...I need to know that things are going to look up....calling on angels.." I started to cry. I can feel your love for her so powerfully in your letters. She is very loved and was very lucky to have such a wonderful family and friends. I am thinking of you today and sending you my strength and support.

Nicole Cohen, Washington, D.C.

 

Dear Nicole,

Today marks the seventh anniversary of your passing. Over the past several years, I've relayed thoughts for you, your family, and other heroes taken so unexpectedly on that tragic day. This year, though sadness lingers, I write to celebrate the inspiration you and so many others have and continue providing each and every day. So today I celebrate -- your memory, the years of love and devotion shared with your family and friends, and I thank God again, for your life, your courage, and your spirit. It is your spirit which remains with so many -- and today, you are remembered.

May God richly bless your family, as well as all other families, with peace today ... as Americans remember and honor you!

Rest in love,
Michael

 

Here comes another anniversary of September 11th and we send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. My little Rylie Nicole has grown since she planted trees on the first anniversary in Chico, CA in honor of your Nicole. We will go visit the tree this weekend and we will keep you and Nicole on our minds.

I sent you pictures of Rylie planting the memorial tree and now here she is at 9 years old

Nicole,

You continue to live in all of our hearts. What an amazing spirit you have. We will never forget you.

Love,

I found this website a couple of years ago. I always come back, just to pay my respects. I remember the day of 9/11, I was 8 years old and a couple of hours earlier my uncle had walked out of the world trade centre. We are so lucky to still happen.

The poem 'I'll meet you in a dream' is printed out and in my bedroom. It is the most beautiful poem I have ever read in my life. I know the words to it off by heart. I hope you don't mind that I printed it out.

This tribute page is such a wonderful thing. I didn't know Nicole at all. I am a 15 year old girl from England, but I've been moved to tears due to the page. The music, the photos, everything is just so perfect. I'll be coming back here in 8 days time to show my respect again. The people on that flight were just inspirational. Those people are my hero's. Not everyone could do what they did - it takes certain special people.

I wish you all the best in the future.
All my love from England.
-E

 

As the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I wanted to let Nicole's family know that she is not forgotten. I pray for you all every day, and I hope that time has been able to ease some of your suffering. Please know that you are remembered, and others care about you. Nicole, you are so special and loved, and you will be reunited again some day in heaven, where there is no more tears and no more pain, only love and peace. Our FATHER has assured us of that, and we that believe will be with HIM. GOD bless you all, and GOD bless Nicole and others who gave their lives. Thank you for the very special gift of Nicole, and for sharing her life with so many of us in her memorial.

Hi,
I am the one that continues to write Nicole's name on the earth ... or where I hike is a better word. Last Oct.near Crescent City CA, I took my finger and wrote Nicole Miller in the sand. Her name has been written in the snow atop mountains in Colorado, and in the deep redwood forest.
Moab Utah.


I made a promise to Nicole, her family and friends that I would do this ... that promise is kept. Nicole, you are remembered

from someone in Oklahoma at the moment.

 

Dear Miller Family,

I just wanted to let you all know that I am still praying for your family. I think about Nicole every once in awhile and try to put into perspective, all the things that her tragic death meant to America. She, along with countless other innocent lives, were snatched away and for no good reason. It is heartbreaking and I hug my children, who are 9 and 10, extra tight these days. I am sorry that they will never know the innocence that we all did before terror struck us.

Still, we Americans, like Nicole and the others on the planes and in the Pentagon, stand in unity for our freedoms. We will WIN.

May God continue to Bless and Keep your family in His hands.

In Christ’s Love,

Shelley Allison

 

Hello,

My name is Missie Vitolo and I just wanted to send an email to let you and your family know that my thoughts and prayers were with you on this day.

We met just a short time after the events of September 11th. Your family had traveled here to Pennsylvania and we met when it was arranged for your family to visit Heinz Field for a tour of the stadium. I was the person to lead you all on the tour and I have thought of your family ever since that day. Although I never met Nicole, I have often thought about her ever since meeting you all and have recently come across her memorial website. She was such a beautiful girl and it is quite apparent that she was loved by all who knew her.

I live just about an hour west of Shanksville and have visited the Flight 93 temporary memorial site a few times. Each time there I have stopped at the angel with Nicole's name on it and said a prayer for her and for you all as well.

Sincerely,

Missie Vitolo

 

Dear Cathy, Tiffany, and all of Nicole's family and friends,

I just wanted to let you know that as always, but especially today, you are in my thoughts and prayers. It was beautiful in Tahoe today, and I went down to the lake today and just sat and meditated and appreciated the beauty that I am lucky enough to live in. I will never forget how close I was to being on United 175. Whenever the numbers 9 and 11 cappear before my eyes my first thoughts are of Nicole and her family. Until recently I had never lost anyone close to me, but within the last 10 months I lost my grandmother, my mom's fiance, and a good friend. I feel like I now know (to a very small extent) what you have gone through. They say time heals all wounds, but I don't really think that's true. I think maybe instead your heart and soul find a way to make the pain more distant. But I hope that you have found some measure of peace, and the ability to smile again. I know there's nothing I can do for your beautiful daughter and the other 2,974 souls who lost their lives that terrible day, but I can remember and try to make sure that no one ever forgets the incredible, heroic sacrifices they made that day. So that is what I will do, for as long as I am on this earth. I hope this email finds you well, and may God bless and keep your family.
Always,
Nicole Renee Miller

 

Nicole,

I just wanted to stop by again this year and let you know that I think of you often. We never met, but every time I go past the church where your funeral was held I think of you and my heart aches for your family. You will forever be in my heart along with all Americans.

May God continue to bless your family on this 7 year anniversary.

Dear Family Miller,

and before 7 years, I'm still shockiert about what happened before 7 years.

Yesterday I said that in the television film "flight 93" seen and must say that it is very proud of the people, who have chosen to do so to the hijackers and thus greater unglück be avoided.

It is certainly difficult to understand and cope with what has happened. I hope that all the bombers and their members and focus.

I still wish you all good for the future. I would be happy if I get a little email would get back.

Many greetings from Germany.

Christian
