It is these defining moments in time that give us cause to reflect on the most wonderful gifts God has given us in our friends and families. Let us remember that those we cherish most could be gone tomorrow. And honor and memorialize all of those that have suffered or perished at the hands of people that would have no value for human life.

Let us always remember those that lost their lives at the hands of evil, whether at the World Trade Center or in the remotest areas of the world. May their friends and families be comforted in their moments of grief, and may their memory be a warm, everlasting light.
