Myrna Yaskulka's family called her the bag lady -- she was rarely without bulging shopping bags from Strawberry and Century 21. To her granddaughters, the clothes they contained were more thrilling than a new Barbie outfit. There was, for instance, her metallic gold raincoat. And her FUBU pantsuit. And leopard-skin everything -- pants, earrings, photo frames.
"Not the sorts of things," said Jay Yaskulka, her son, "you would normally see on a woman her age." But Ms. Yaskulka, 59 and a size 8, was as chic as a downtown hipster. She was such an ardent shopper that store managers called her about new shipments. She was confident enough to wear outrageous things, like pink rhinestone-studded sunglasses, and carry it off.
She commuted from Staten Island to her secretarial job at Fred Alger Management in 1 World Trade Center. Often, Mr. Yaskulka passed beneath her windows when he took Brianna, 8, and Shannon, 4, to the city. "When we drove by the World Trade Center," he said, "they would look up at the 93rd floor and yell, `Hi, Grandma!' "
Myrna was a gift to her
Myrna was a gift to her family and friends and mothered one of the most wonderful human beings I have had the pleasure of calling my friend. May you rest in peace always mom.

My sister Myrna was the life
My sister Myrna was the life of the party. Her angelic nature served as a magnet drawing like-spirited people to her. She was dedicated to her family and extended family as well as her close friends. She is sorely missed by everyone who knew her. Rest in peace my dear sister. Your loving brother Philip.

It's been 10 years and I
It's been 10 years and I still asking myself why you went into work early that day. Losing you that day affected every aspect of our lives. I hate the fact that you can't spend time with Brianna and Shannon and see how they have grown into fine young woman. I lost a mother-in-law who became a true friend during the year before 9/11. I miss my 11:30 am phone calls from you and I miss your laughter and I miss you so much. Rest in Peace Myrna.
