Nicole,

Today I went to a memorial your mom had at your graveside. We let
purple balloons go and played your favorite song "one more time." Your mom
started remembering how you would dance to that song we all just smiled. I
felt all the love that your family has for you, your cousins and aunts are
great and they are strong people. I couldn't hold it in and I shed a couple
of tears. Your headstone is beautiful. On various occasions I saw a
butterfly land on your headstone. I know it was you watching us. I want to
say that you will live on in my heart and in my thoughts always. As
September 11 nears I think that you and everyone who died that day are
heroes. You died to give us our freedom and for that I am forever Thankful
to you and to the rest of the people who gave their lives for us. I miss you
very much and know that you are happy in heaven. See you when I get there.
Miss you lots

I did not know Nicole, never had the chance to meet this wonderful person, but after viewing the Dateline episode devoted to Flight 93, I visited this amazing website, and was spellbound, reading the beautiful tributes to her all too short life.

Please know that I, as well as all Americans, united by this senseless tragedy, feel the pain of your loss and grieve with you. We will never forget all of those lost on 9/11/01 and will remain dedicated in our resolve to rid the world of terrorism.

They did not perish in vain and will always be our heroes.

I watched Dateline on 9/3/02 and was deeply touched by the story of Flight
93 and its passengers. More importantly, I saw Nicole's picture at the end
and could not shake her image from my mind. After logging onto her memorial
website, I realize now what a vibrant and beautiful person she was. Please
accept my condolences on Nicole's loss.

'She was indeed most wondrous fair
Gold of sunlight in her hair
Lips that shamed the red, red rose
In ageless sleep, she finds repose'

Sincerely,
Hugh Ilg

I had paragraphs written to you, but they sounded so empty and lame. I will never forget any of the September 11 victims, including Nicole. God bless you.

Thank you for giving us a small look into her life and her wonderful contribution to this awesome planet. I too work for Chili's and understand the significance of her loss, and how we need to hold on to one another and just say thank-you for what we have! Once again, thanks and I am truly sorry for your loss,

I have just read the very touching tribute to Nicole.

My wife and I were on vacation from here in the UK, in Las Vegas at the time of the attack. We have traveled to the US many times, and have many friends. We were devastated by the events as they unfolded on the television in front of us… sad and crying, and like you quietly angry that this could be done to the greatest and proudest nation on the planet.

Please accept our unity with you… there is not a day goes by when I don’t think about the lost one’s and those grieving and suffering since.

I look forward to returning to the USA very soon.

I don't really know what to say except that I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful daughter. Only God knows why all the tragedies of September 11th had to happen, but one day we will all understand. Please know that people have not forgotten, and we will never forget.

Peace to all of you.

TO Nicole's Family,

I was up late and decided to look at the tribute page since 9/11 is so close and I saw Nicole's page. I started reading this page and cried. I could not help but feel the love you had for her and love she must have dealt out to everyone she knew. When I started to read her page she was someone I did not know but felt sad for. After reading her page I felt as if she was someone close to me. I am sorry for your loss and I know she up in Heaven watching over you making sure you are ok. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as well as all of the other families touched by this tragedy.

Love,

Erin Philadelphia, PA

What an awesome tribute you have made in the memory of Nicole. I did not
know Nicole very well and it had been years since I had seen her, but the
memory of her will stay with me forever. I am so sorry for your loss and
your family is always in my thought and prayers. God Bless!

Hello Cathy,
Last year we sent you a card from Nicole's "Chili's family" in Glastonbury CT, where I work. I was so touched that you took the time to send a card back to me (I only wish I had kept your return address). I carry it in my Chili's book. I've spent alot of time on Nicole's website lately, and thank you and your family for sharing Nicole with us. She was beautiful, as is the rest of your family. The closeness of all of you radiates from the photos and truly shares with us who Nicole was, and how she became who she was; through the love of her family.
I worked at Chili's on that dreadful day. I spent the morning watching tv in horror with my stepfather, then took my 9 year old daughter out of school to be with me at work. We all mourned together that day. When we heard about Nicole, it brought it even closer to home for us. As I have said before, we are all very much family at Chili's. We didn't have to know her personally, she was a "chilihead".
As the date draws nearer, I just wanted you and you family to know that we are still thinking of and praying for the Miller/Stefani family. Thanks again for allowing the world to get to know Nicole Miller...

I am not a friend or family member of Nicole, I simply found this web site browsing. I am sure that this doesn't matter to whoever reads this, but itmeant something to me tonight seeing this web site! You see I was just about to leave my husband and 1 year old child, for something VERY triviall. Looking at Nicole and what a beautiful girl she was, and the love in the family, I thought to myself HOW selfish!!!!! Instead of sitting this dance out I am going to DANCE!!!!!!!! Thank you to whoever created this web site, you are all trully angels in my eyes! Altough I don't know you I feel I owe you a Thank You and may God Bless you all.

Please convey to the family of Nicole how empathetic everyone must be who reads their beautiful and loving tribute to a heroine and loving soul whom I know is with them. I have a psychic gift and feel that, as they do, the butterflies returning was truly a sign of her continued presence amongst them, with love and sincerity, ESPecially, Sebastian Sinclair: psychic2000@yahoo.com ( e-mail)

Thanks for the memories and inspiration.

Sincerely,

I have just viewed your website set up in memory of your Nicole and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am from Australia and the events that occured on September 11th were just awful. You have set up a lovely tribute to Nicole it brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that you are able to rebuild your lives in the knowledge of the beautiful girl that was given to you even for a short time. Thank you for sharing with the rest of the world your lovely girl.

With thoughts to you all from across the miles.
Take care and treasure the fond memories you have of your Nicole.

To Nicole and to Nicole's Family,

I was deeply moved by visiting this tribute site to Nicole. I sit here, through my tears, not knowing exactly what to say or how to react to such a loss your family must be facing.

Nicole, thank you for your heroism and bravery on September 11th 2001. America will always remember you and the rest of the courageous people on Flight 93. You have not died in vain. You are a true American hero. God had a higher purpose for you Nicole. Your life on earth was very short, but it is so obvious how many lives you touched through the years you were here. Now you have touched so many more that have never even met you. Seeing this tribute that your family has made for you has touched my heart deeply. From the bottom of my heart, God bless you Nicole and God bless all of your family.

Todd Strode - Lincoln, Nebraska

Nicole you were a angel when you came into this world and you got your wings
that fateful day. Flight 93's passengers and crew followed your lead to
Heaven. I cant think of anything more beautiful than following a angel
like you. Little did anyone know there was an angel on board Flight 93, but
they found out and you are proof they exist. I hope when my time comes an
angel as beautiful as you comes and gets me. Nicole even though we never
met I will never forget you: you are my angel. To the family and friends
of Nicole thank you for sharing her with me through this tribute. Flight 93
lives on forever in her memory and we will never forget our angel Nicole..

Dear Family Members of Nicole Miller,

What a beautiful tribute and memory to Nicole...to your dear loved one. I sit here, listen, cry...share your grief, and send all my love and prayers, with all the faith I have in my heart and spirit. I say and share this with integrity, honesty, and genuinely.

Of course, you don't know me. I know you would have no reason, to believe me...and so, I may never hear from you. But, I need and choose to share something with you, and invite you, any one of you to contact me if you would like to talk, heart to heart, at any time. I can keep confidences...

I write to each of you...In my heart as a mother, and grandmother, I especially start with parents, and with you
Cathy M. Stefani, as Nicole's mother. I will just share this simply, as I don't know you...

I had an experience, in prayer...about Flight 93, and the people aboard Flight 93, and therefore their families, loved ones, and on...and, for any one of you, who want to speak with me, I sincerely believe it could be comforting, to share with you, heart to heart.

I am well known, and well respected, in my family (of course), and among my friends of many years, and in my community. I am a basic believer in the Lord, as a christian...not superspiritual, and not- "offbase"... I don't have any reason, or motivation to contact you personally, other than, I feel bonded with you, by this experience, and have and do pray (simply, talk to Him, the Lord) in your behalf, often. If I never hear from you, that is ok...I will continue to just take you before Him, lift you up to Him, the best I can, and trust and entrust you, each one, to Him...for your comfort, for your strengthening, for your day by day grieving process, and day by day healing.

Mr. Miller, Mrs. Cathy M. Stefani...your daughter was precious, and is beautiful. Thank you for having this sight. I have two grown young adult daughters of my own, and two grown young adult sons, three precious grandaughter's and two beautiful step-grandsons. I know the preciousness of our children, as a parent...

I didn't lose anyone in 911 and don't personally know anyone who did... I am a fellow American, and a christian, and all who were lost, and their families and loved ones are precious. I thank you again, for sharing through this sight, and as I said, I am open to being contacted...to share furthur. I have e-mailed four families, through a website, just before I found your site, and had written Lisa Beamer a letter, in Word from my home computer, and left it at the Todd M. Beamer Foundation, who said they would give it to her. Understandably, I have not heard from her-at least yet. I shared this with you, as I am open...and, honest...I don't want to share my experience with anyone it would not mean anything to...just, privately, with integrity, with those- whom it would directly comfort.

I am here. Whether I hear from you, or not, my love, faith and prayers have been sent, and continue to be sent your way. Though I am a stranger, I will not ever forget.

Love Sincerely, In Him,

As this one year approaches, I wish I could take away your pain. God has touched my heart tonight in a profound way through looking at Nicole's site. If those other 11,319 people who have viewed this site have been touched as much I have been, some good has come from this.

Tomorrow, I will make sure that everyone I love, knows it.

Thank you.

I live in Chicago. My family is having an intimate dinner at our parent's house this Wednesday, where each one of us has chosen a Sept 11 victim to pray for and remember. I will share with them Nicole's life and successes and we will together all pray for her and her family.

Regards,

Danny

I never met Nicole, but I worked with Ryan in 2000 and 2001. Ryan's eyes sparkled every time he spoke Nicole's name. He was so in love with her and cherished her to no end. It broke my heart to hear that Nicole was on Flight 93. I feel privileged to have learned about her and her life since then. You are obviously a tight, warm, amazing family and you are all so lucky to have each other.

Ryan, I think of you every day and hope that you are safe and that you are healing while you are fighting for our world's safety. I remember sitting on the steps with you at our company Christmas party in December of 2001 and I could feel your sadness, your strength and your love. You are a wonderful human being and I hope that I can see you again when you return.

Nicole, your light shines down on your loved ones every day and they are lucky to have a guardian angel as special as you. My son did a scrapbook on the word "courage" for a class project and he did a whole page about you. He included your story and some photos we got from the newspaper and from your web site. He holds you and your family and Ryan up in his heart as what courage and love stand for. Your family describes you as an angel, and I'm quite sure that you are exactly that!

To the family and friends of Nicole Miller:

I did not know this young woman, but one evening my husband, 18-month old son, and I were eating dinner at the Outback Restaurant in Chico, CA. It was shortly after the terrorist attacks and the whole nation was still grieving and in shock over what had occurred. I remember looking down at a card that was placed on our table (and all the other tables). On that card was a picture of a beautiful young woman with eyes that just sparkled. She really did look like an angel. After I read the inscription on the card, I realized that this beautiful woman had been on United Flight 93 and the card was a tribute to her. Even though I had never met her, I felt a deep sense of loss and grief.

I have just completed viewing your memorial to your daughter. Please take comfort in the fact that your beautiful daughter continues to touch the lives of people all across this nation. May God give the family and friends of Nicole continued peace, grace, and comfort until you are once again reunited with her.

Love in Christ,
Debbie V.

I cant find the words to express how sorry I am that god took your daughter away from you. I didnt know Nicole personally, but I did see on campus at West Valley, and I knew of her beauty. I never realized that 9-11 would hurt me this much, I mean I live so far away from it all, and yet I feel so close to it all because of Nicole. I have thought about her a lot recently and I wonder why people such as Nicole are taken away from the world, so young and so driven to do something. I wish I could have known her the way so many do, and again I am so sorry. I just think May God Rest Her Soul, and I know with angels like her, he always does. Its not the death that kills us its the pain of loss. If its possible I would like to put flowers on her grave, im just not sure where is at rest. Can some please e-mail with any info? I thank you all for giving this world a hero and i thank Nicole for giving me something to live for.

I ran across Nicole's memorial site today while at work and have not been
able to think of anything else. Nicole was an extremely beautiful women and
obviously had and still has an astounding impact on those around her. I'm a
24 year-old gentleman that comes from a family of six boys. I cannot
imagine ever losing one of my brothers and keeping the strength that her
family has shown. Tears come to my eyes as I write this for my heart is
filled with overwhelming emotions and sorrow for Nicole and her loved ones.
My heart and prayers got out to Nicole and her family and friends. Although
I know that my words cannot even begin to describe my sorrow and joy for
Nicole's life here and in Heaven, I can only say that I believe the Lord
has a plan and a mission for all of us. Sometimes, as in Nicole's case, the
mission is so great we must stand next to the Lord in His Kingdom to
fulfill that mission.
God Bless Nicole and all those that she has touched.

To the Family of Nicole, your site is awesome. Although I did not know her, the pictures on this site show you all as a very close and loving family and I'm sure Nicole is missed every day. God be with you in the coming days as the one year anniversary of this tragedy takes place. You've made a beautiful tribute that will touch the heart of anyone who sees it. Those lost on September 11th will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless

Troy Williams, Georgia

I can only imagine the loss you have suffered! I am in tears and can feel your pain as I think about loosing my 3 year old daughter Kiersten in such a vain manner. I am at a loss for words as I search for a comforting thought.
Know this...Seeing Nicoles tributary website has changed me forever! I admit the fact that I have taken Kierstens unconditional love for granted until now!
Nicoles death was not in vain in my eyes as it has shown me that every second I have with my daughter should be spent as if were my last!
I can only thank you for touching me through Nicoles website in such a way that life and all that it brings has become so much more precious and meaningful, and if she were able to comprehend all of this, Kiersten would thank you and your family for being responsible for changing her father's outlook on life and his unconditional love and support for her!
God bless and protect your family...
