'TAKE CARE OF MY DAUGHTER'
Rosa Julia Gonzalez
After the attack, when Rosa Julia Gonzalez telephoned her sister Migdalia from the offices of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on the 66th floor of 2 World Trade Center, these were her last words: ''I love you,'' she said. And then: ''Promise to me that you are going to take care of my daughter.'' That is because to Rosa, 32, a single mother who worked as a secretary, her 12-year- old Jennifer was everything. Certainly, Migdalia tried to reassure Rosa. But she was never sure her words had registered. The call was cut off. Only a little while later -- 10, maybe 15 minutes -- the building collapsed. ''Of course, Migdalia will take care of Jennifer,'' said Rosa's older sister Maria. ''We will all take care of Jennifer.'' The ''we'' refers to the six Gonzalez sisters who are not missing. Every day they and the rest of the family have been gathering in Jersey City, where Rosa lived. ''The situation is,'' Maria said, ''we have to be strong for Jennifer.'
These profiles were written by Diane Cardwell, Glenn Collins, David W. Dunlap, Leslie Eaton, Robin Finn, Winnie Hu, Andrew Jacobs, Dean E. Murphy and Barbara Stewart.
We all miss you Rose.

Hey titi love u 10yrs is a long time to be without u. We miss u so very much but have learned to continue on. Although u are not here u are always on our minds and in our hearts. We have finally begun to go on with our lives while still keeping u close to our hearts. I know thats what u want for us. I can still hear ur voice on the phone. I LOVE U AND MISS U!!! Although Osama is dead so they say that doesnt change anything and it didnt bring me any joy to know that even more lives were sacrificed just to do it and in the end we were not victorious for we lost more than him.

Your face, along with the
Your face, along with the time that we all went out to New York, the amazing love stories shared by your sister Maggie and your friend Mayra will forever be etched in my heart. Through your sister I knew of this amazing person who shared this incredible bond with her sister.. I was taken back by it because I myself had that bond with my sister... it blew me away. I will never forget her face on 9/11 while she was on the phone with...those memories haunt me even today. Your an angel know that protects all of your loved ones... so what I'm about to say I know you already know..Your daughter has turned out to be this amazing beautiful intelligent young woman, who would definitely make you proud. Your sister Maggie has definitely transformed into her 2nd mom..and she does it effortlessly and with so much love. I wish you peace Rosa, I pray everyday that the loss of your life was not in vein and trust me the government has and will continue to make sure it was not. I hope that somehow you and my sister cross paths in heaven and you could love each other as sisters until it's time for maggie and I to reunite with both of you. I pray for your entire family I pray that their pain fade away and that you memory lives on through them for an eternity. God Bless you.
