All of us at VOICES will be thinking of you and your family as we observe Father’s Day this Sunday. We recognize that the holiday may be another difficult day for those who suffered a loss on September 11th. We join you in remembering and honoring the men who played such an important role in shaping the lives of our children and families.

I want to thank those of you who attended this week’s 9/11 Living Memorial workshop in Jamison, PA. Also, a special thanks to Susan Bizon of NOVA PA for all her help in arranging the workshop. It’s wonderful to meet with families who are so eager to begin the process of creating a tribute page for their loved one.

Yesterday we held two 9/11 Living Memorial workshops at the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund offices in Boston. It was wonderful to learn more about the organization created by family members specifically to support those living outside the New York City area.

On Wednesday, I joined a group of family members and two former 9/11 Commissioners, Tim Roemer and John Lehman in Washington, D.C. to encourage lawmakers to refocus their attention on passing the remaining 9/11 Commission reforms. I am grateful that the Commissioners are still so actively involved, nearly three years after the release of their final report.

I want to thank 9/11 family members DeeDee and Alex Luckett and the staff at the Larchmont Yacht Club for hosting last nights event. The serene setting was a peaceful backdrop for the 9/11 Living Memorial workshop. It was wonderful to see so many in attendance, including some families who we had the pleasure of meeting for the first time.
