Making it real: September 11, 2003 from Cristy 
          Siede  
        Gary, Jenette,friends and family of 
          Ann:  
       
        
       Each time I think of 9/11, my first 
        and strongest thought is of Ann and how she gave all of us, with her most 
        precious gift,the devastating realism of what has touched thousands and 
        thousands of family members and friends. She made it real and she made 
        it personal. Please know that you are not alone and that Ann is in our 
        minds and hearts always - we are forever changed because of that fateful 
        day.  
        
       I worked with Ann at Dain (we took 
        our Series 7 class together) and Gary was one of my clients when I worked 
        with Craig Mueller. I still see her smile when I think of her and remember 
        that she is easily the nicest soul in heaven. I proudly wear my red, white 
        and blue today in her memory and your honor.  
        
       Thank you for your postings to her 
        website. It has been so helpful for closure and keeping her memory alive. 
       
        
       
        The story about your visit to Ground 
          Zero is so heart warming and wrenching all at the same time. May God 
          comfort you with his peace each day.
