Today would have been Ann's 57th birthday.
I found some pictures I took at the Pentagon just a few days after 9/11. One shows the damage done to the Pentagon by American Airlines Flight 77, and the others show an impromptu memorial we and others set up on a knoll overlooking the Pentagon. The spot was just off Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA.
Some of Ann's favorite things: Marlboro Lights, Diet Coke, M & M Peanuts.
Niece Becky Weaver and I thought about putting a bottle of Dewar's there but figured it would be gone as soon as we turned our backs.
I look forward to visiting the new Pentagon Memorial next month.
Ann's murder left a gaping hole in the lives of many - not just friends and family, but co-workers and strangers as well.
Her memorial service on 17 September 2001 was quite the event. I gave the eulogy.
The hardest part was seeing my mother, there to lay her youngest to rest.
