Nicole,
Do you want to order bean pattys today?... Look there is a caterpillar in your soup! ...Are those the bruises you got when we fell off the blocks at Polyesters?... Is my ID going to work?... That is not our friend on the stage... Sorry I smashed your asparagus... Do you think all of us will fit in the shower?... Wedding planner again?... Don't answer the phone!... Glass of Merlot?... What time do you want to work out?... Don't party too hard tonight- I am on call tomorrow... Wanna arm wrestle?... Call the plumber.... Smile- maybe we can get out of this ticket... Can you sneak us in the back?... Hurry, Give me your gum!... Why are we at Denny's at 3 o'clock in the morning?...
I am deeply saddened that we can not continue our experiences. But I am grateful for all the memories we made. For as long as I live I will never forget you. I am looking forward to seeing you again.
Love Christina Dinneen

 

 

I wanted to drop you a note on how much your website meant to me.

I'm sitting here in New Jersey, at work, 20 miles from NYC with an
office that once had the most beautiful view of the Twin Towers and
the New York skyline.

I was surfing the web for ties by the famous Nicole Miller the designer,
when I came across your website tribute to a much more notorious
Nicole Miller.

Please know that there is not a day or hour that goes by where I
don't think of the lives lost, loved ones gone.

Whatever you do enjoy what you have now, knowing that one day you
will all be with god for everlasting love.

Sincerely
Mari Castaldo

 

 

Hi. I happened to find your page through links on CNN.com's list of victims. I've been scrolling through several of them, reading about their lives. Nicole really caught my attention since she's close to my age (I'm 24) and has the same birthday as I do. She would have been 22 now, I guess. I ant to express my condolences to her family. I think this website is amazing and I hope everyone's words here add some comfort. Mine, too. I can't imagine what it is like, but all of America is trying to understand and is standing beside you. My rock band is currently donating proceeds from our shows to a NY fireman's family. I know other Americans who are also doing their part to help the families and provide support. We care deeply about you all. You are the leaders of our strength now. That may not make sense, but I feel the country looks to you as the examples of our will and resolve. God be with you, and God bless America. We'll miss Nicole.

Wow, this site of Nicole and all of her family writing these poems are just great! It was such a shame that someone only 21-years-old would go. Well, right now she is in a terrific place with my brother and maybe right now she is petting and playing with my cat Chocolate.

A very nice tribute- a lovely young woman. I am so sorry for family and friends and I know you miss her. She is in the loving arms of God.

I did not know Nicole Miller but I grieve for her family. She was a beautiful girl and I am sure she is a beautiful angel with God right now. I have a 2 yr old daughter and just held her and cried after I came to this site. I only hope my daughter will grow up to be as beautiful as Nicole and I will let her know that she was a hero as well. God Bless the Miller family and have peace knowing that she is alright and you will one day see the beautiful angel again. Sheree Taylor Madisonville TN

 

 

I didn't know you but I met you briefly through Ryan. I use to see you at the Right Stuff health club working out. You always had a sparkle in your eyes and a smile on your face. I think that everyone will miss you.

Katherine and Wayne-

What an amazingly beautiful tribute to your beautiful daughter, I did not know her personally but I have three children of my own and can't even imagine what you have had to endure in the past six months. I wish i had known Nicole it sounds like she was an amazing person "An Angel sent from heaven to make our world a better place for a short lived time and now she has been called home" Just knowing that she is an angel in heaven give you strength to go on and lead a wonderful life she would have wanted that for your whole family and one day you will reunite with her when you are called home. With much Love Tina Salustro

 

First let me thank you for helping people discover who Nicole was. I too
never got the chance to know Nicole, and after viewing your amazing site in
her memory, I really wish I had. Nicole was a beautiful girl. I know you are
wishing that you could have seen how much Nicole would have enjoyed her
life, and how many more lives she would have touched. I know this because I
am too. I know I can't possibly say enough to really pay a proper tribute to
your Nicole. I will remember Nicole though, a shining face I never got the
chance to meet, and I promise to live my life to the fullest. I hope that
someday, I can have as much of an impact on someone, as Nicole had on all
that were in her life. You should be proud that you knew Nicole, and most of
all that you helped to mold the wonderful person that she was.

Love-

Holly Cimino

 

I did not know Nicole personally, but she must have been very special from
all the love she has inspired. I made this page for her.

Hello again.
When I was in Florida last week for Spring break with my girlfriend, I
realized it was six months after the day Nicole saved us all.
What
happened with the butterflies landing on top of her casket confirms
something I have long believed: Just because her physical body has stopped
functioning, doesn't mean she's not still here with us.
Feel honored that any piece of her body was found at all from that
morning.
There are thousands who will never be found.
Nicole, and all the others who went down that morning, are still with
us...they have simply taken on another form.
My girlfriend and I co-hosted the Benefit Concert I mentioned earlier.
I think I have an excellent song to recommend to you which truly honors
Nicole's, and the others', acts on Flight 93.
Try looking for a download-able file of "The Touch" by Stan Bush from
Transformers the Movie.
The movie was the series' 9/11, and this song was played twice for the
heroes who saved them at the key points.
Once you hear it, you'll see what I mean.

I never go one day without thinking of Nicole and the others on that
plane. I hope one day I'll have the honor of meeting all of them Upstairs.

If there's ever anything I can, do, I mean ANYTHING, drop me an email.
I'm graduating this year, but I'll let you know what my AOL address is at
that point.

To quote Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime from the same movie:"Till All
Are One".

That day is NOW.

Thanks for giving me the chance to view Nicole's memorial. She was a
very beautiful woman and I know she is greatly missed. May God bless
you, her family and friends.

My prayers are with your family. I do not know you but I am a proud American and the passengers on flight 93 were heros in my book. Nicole is so beautiful and I use present tense because I believe she is in heaven today just as beautiful as her pictures are on your site.

I did not personally know Nicole, but she attended Pioneer with my daughter.
When I found out about her, I closed my eyes and imagined her on that plane..
alone, frightened, and about to face death at such a tender young age. She
became my own daughter, as well. I know that God was with her on that flight,
holding her hand all the way down. My thoughts and prayers are with you each
morning.

Many lost their lives that terrible September day, but the loss of Nicole hit close to home. Nicole is from my hometown of San Jose, CA. I never knew Nicole personally, but my sisters and I went to high school with her sister Tiffney. I feel I have now become to know what kind of person Nicole was by reading all the tributes, memorial pages and through the pictures of her and her loved ones. What a beauty Nicole was inside and out.

My heart goes out to hear family and friends, but mostly to her sister Tiffney. I am the oldest sister of four and I know what it is to be a “Big Sis”. Tiffney and Nicole’s sisterly bond shines through Tiffney’s words and pictures of the twosome growing up. Their bond so much reminds me of the bond I have with my sisters. So close in age and experience EVERYTHING together. The laughs, the cries, the arguments, the hugs, the kisses, the secrets, the boys, the parties, the phone calls, the advise, the shopping, the dances…..I could go on forever as I am sure Tiffney could too!

I cried when I read all that Tiffney had to say to and about her baby sister Nicole. My sisters are my life and I can’t even imagine the pain that Tiffney is going through losing her sister so early in life. Cherish the memories and never let them fade. Always remember Tiffney, that though Nicole is gone in body, she will always be there by your side in spirit……so, still laugh and cry with her; still give those heavenly hugs and kisses; still tell her your secrets about those boys and tell her about those parties; She is shopping at the Mall of Heaven and dancing in the stars now, but she will always be with you! Nicole will never be forgotten!!

From one “Big Sis” to another……

Tiffney you are in my thoughts and prayers always,

Yours Truly,

Faith Matthews (Eblen)

Hi I never knew Nicole. I live approx. 20 miles from the crash site. I am 22 years old and I could have very well lost my life that day. It bothers me when young people lose their lives especially those who love and enjoy life. Looking at the pictures it definitely looked like Nicole loved life. Sorry about your loss.

I had the chance of knowing Nicole through her boyfriend Ryan. I can't really express how much I feel and hurt for her family and for Ryan. When I found out that she was on that flight..... I was crushed. The girl with the gorgeous smile and the beautiful eyes that I always saw at the gym was gone......

Nicole had a certain glow about her, one that she couldn't hide even if she tried. I occasionally saw her out with Ryan too.... and no matter where we were, I honestly couldn't help but notice her prescence. She was so beautiful...... like an angel.

Learning about Nicole hit me harder than I ever thought it could. I knew her.... but I wasn't one of the lucky ones to really get close to her and know her as a friend. I can't imagine how I would feel if it were my girlfriend or my sister in her place......... so Im not going to pretend that I understand how her mother, how her family, and how her boyfriend feel. I only know that the pain they must feel is unexplainable and unimaginable. I just want them and Nicole to know that they will forever be in my prayers and my thoughts........ and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I will never forget her.......
-Rick Castello

 

I know no words can ever replace what was lost to the loved ones who who
suffered directly from the events of 09/11/01.
We can only send our deepest heart felt sympathy to all and hope some
greater good comes from all this.

Myself and two associates were working not far from where the crash
occured and will never forget as the events unfolded that morning. The
heroism of the passengers of Flight 93 will remain with me forever and I
hope others will also find insight from their actions.

Blessings to all.

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl. -I just happened upon this page by chance, I did not know Nicole personally and yet I am sitting here in tears. I feel for you all. You are a beautiful family and i can see how close you all were-May God keep you strong. Cherish all the beautiful memories and special times you had with her in your life.

Dear Nicole,
Even though I did not know you. I did know that you worked for my dad Kenny Ernst. When I heard about you and the plain crash I almost burst into tears. I know that you are very kind and sweet. I wish I could have met you. I am in second grade now and I hope I am as pretty as you when I get older. But just remember we will always remember your lovely face and the way you smiled. Even though I didn't` get to met you I think your the loveliest, most nicest , understanding person in the whole wide world. If I had any chance at meeting you I would be the most happiest person in the whole world !



WE LOVE YOU NICOLE!

Morgan Ernst

 

Hello,

I met Nicole's cousin from Oakland (I believe her name is Bev) on the 'Candles of Peace' web page. She knows me as 'Hampton' and I know her as 'Oakland.' She shared the URL for your memorial page for Nicole. It is a lovely tribute to a lovely girl.

I want you to know that I light a candle for Nicole each day now, and I light a candle for you, too. What horror you must be suffering! My heart goes out to you. Nicole is a real hero. I know she is in the arms of the angels now.

We who are 'regulars' on the Candles of Peace page pray every day for each other, and light candles for each others' needs. Even though we have never met in person, we are becoming good friends, and we love and care about each other and each others' families. We are all proud of 'Oakland' for quitting smoking (today, as I write this, it is day 41!) and we support each other with our prayer requests (they are praying for my feral kitten, Heather, who is not adapting very well to indoor life).

If you would like to pass on my email address to 'Oakland' (Bev?) so she can contact me more privately, I would not mind at all. It is nice that we 'meet' each night on the Candles page, but we could share more via email, too.

May you have many, many blessings and may you find peace. We will never forget . . .

Bless you all,
Love from Hampton,
Laura

 

I myself did not have the privilege of meeting Nicole, but I met her sister at the tree planting event in Chico. My daughter, Rylie Nicole, who is only two, helped plant some of the trees and it was an honor to meet those who lost family and friends to the 9/11 tragedy. God Bless the family and friends of Nicole Miller - we all feel your loss. JB

 

I will never forget the day that I found out Nicole was on Flight 93. I was
at work and everyone was talking about it, all of a sudden I got an email
from a friend back home telling me that Nicole had been on one of the
planes. I just couldn't believe it. I met Nicole my Sophomore year at
Pioneer High School and I had just gotten my drivers license. I remember
that it was near summertime and by the time it was summer, her and I hung
out all the time. The greatest memory I have of Nicole was we were driving
home from Morgan Hill after a night of partying and as we drove down Moterey
Highway to go back to her house, we ran over something in the road. I broke
into tears thinking that I had hit a person and Nicole just sat there and
laughed at me and told me more than likely it was a animal. Neither her nor
I could bring ourselves to go back to where it had happened, so we just went
on home. I will always remember that I was so scared and she was there to
calm me down, she was a great person and always had a smile on her face. I
will never forget her and my thoughts and prayers go out to her and her
family.

This is dedicated to all those that lost their lives or to those that lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and your loved ones. I served 6 years in the US Navy, I got out September 1, 2001, 10 days prior to all of this. I have wanted and waited by the phone to get called back to duty and go over there and do what this country needed to do along time ago. All of your loved ones will NEVER go forgotten, our country will retaliate to those who caused so much grief to our land....

God Bless this GREAT Country and all of those that live here..

Sincerely,

I happen to come across this website by accident. First let me say how sorry
I am about your loss of your daughter. I live in New York and have many
friends that were lost to Terrorism on September 11th. I think this website
is a wonderful way to express what a wonderful person Nicole must have been.
I couldn't imagine the pain you are all going through. Coming from a
big/close family and great friends I don't know what I would ever do if I
lost someone. Your daughter is now a hero and will always be an angel in my
eye. I will pray for her that she is in a better place.
In reading tons of websites from various organizations I came across this
beautiful poem. While it will not bring your daughter back, it might help
you to go forward...

The Messenger
From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you
slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

Again, I am so sorry for your lost.
God Bless you.
Sincerely,
Susan Guidi
