May the Lord continue to strengthen the bereaved Families and Loved ones as well as Colleagues. Yes dear ones we all lost someone in the World Trade Center Bombings yet America only talked about their own losses as if they were the only ones affected. May the Lord conitue to bring peace and closure in their lives. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]ray:

Let us continue to remember the members of our Jamaican community who lost their lives two years ago and to hold up their families in our prayers. Some of the web sites have guestbooks where you can post messages to the families. I am sure that they could use our support at this time. Let's stand behind them.

"I was There Too" by Leonardo Blair Telling Everton C. Lewis' Story

Shaquille, Security Guard

As Lewis counts his blessings, however, he is not free from regrets. "All my years as a broker I have passed this guy at the World Trade Centre. Everyday I pass him. He is a security guard. We call him Shaquille because he is very big.

"Ah pass him when ah going into the building and a pass him when I coming out and I never yet say hi to this guy. And when the building collapsed, I saw someone, his mother on TV showing a picture and it's this guy. It hurts me. You know why?

"This is exactly what his mother said, 'This is mi laaaas pickney.' His parents were Jamaican. I didn't realise, all these years working with this guy that he was a Jamaican. I never said hi to him."
