"Your mother, Nina Gavriusina, died on 2008.03.02. Her heart stopped after more than a year of struggle with a brain tumor and two successful surgeries. She loved you so much and died after the loss. You'll be together, and will be waiting for me" Vladimir, father of Yelena.

In Memory of Karen Susan Navarro
Karen Susan Navarro was 30 years old and from Oakland Gardens, New York. Karen worked for Carr Futures, Inc. on the 92nd floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Karen worked just as hard at everything she did. She had studied to be a teacher and loved children, but went to work in finance instead. She was an assistant on the foreign exchange trading desk of Carr Futures, a fast-paced job that required a high energy level and suited her personality just fine.
"It was a very demanding job, but she enjoyed the challenge," said her father, Edward. "You have to be young and motivated to work those kinds of hours."
In Memory of Amy Nicole Jarret
Amy Nicole Jarret was 28 years old and from North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Amy was a flight attendant on United Airlines 175. At 9:03 a.m on September 11, 2001, Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
Her father, Aram Jarret, said his daughter was hopelessly in love with her college boyfriend and that a glittering diamond engagement ring seemed only months away. She was a rabid Notre Dame football fan who would call her dad in tears if the Fighting Irish were losing at halftime.
"She was wonderful," Mr Jarret said.
Roselle - American Hero Dog of the Year
Computer sales manager Michael Hingson was at his desk on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower on the morning of 9/11 when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the other side of the building, 18 floors above. And he lived to tell the tale because of his guide dog, Roselle.
The yellow labrador calmly guided her owner 1,463 steps out of the building and, as debris fell and dust billowed, found a subway station and led them both underground to safety.
Roselle died in June 2011 at the age 13, but her heroism lives on. At a star-studded red carpet event in L.A. on Saturday night the yellow lab was honored as the American Hero Dog of the Year.
Just as they got out of the building on 9/11, the south tower collapsed. "While everyone ran in panic, Roselle remained totally focused on her job," Michael Hingson said, "While debris fell around us, and even hit us, Roselle stayed calm."
