Dear Titus family,
I lost my best friend Amy King in 9/11. She was on the plane with Alicia.
(Her parents have met you at the Boston Memorial.) I recently met Greg
because of our connectoiom with 9/11 and have read about Alicia. Like
Amy she had a passion for life and people loved her because of her joyful
spirit and deep, sensitive soul. In her journal she wrote about happiness.
I have asked Greg if I could copy it and make a Quilt with it being the
focal point. He did give me permission. Her words meant so much to me
and I read them every day.(The quilt hangs on my bedroom wall.) My friends
and clients whom I have shown this to, would also like a copy of Alicia's
words about happiness. I want to ask permission to give a copy to my friends
who ask for it. I actually had someone cry when she read it. What powerful
words from such a young, beautiful, blossoming women. Mr.Titus please
contact me. Fran Abbate My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Alicia, today and always. As another person stated on a message, I too have this strong urge to continue to learn about those lost in the tragedy that was September 11th. I continue to visit memorial sites, and find it especially comforting to know that soo many people have so much love, and have not forgotten. Strangers continue to offer prayer and support to families who miss their loved ones. I want you to add me to that list. I never met Alicia, and yet her loss is felt. May God Bless and sustain those who miss her so, and hold you in his care until one day you meet again. I sincerely believe that she is an angel and watches over you all everyday. She is not forgotten! Diane <usadiane2003@yahoo.com> Burlington, - Sunday, August 29, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Hi, I was a student of Beverly's at Radcliffe college.She shared some beautiful pictures and memories of Alicia.I wanted to thank you for letting us get to know her. God Bless. Evette Mass <skyian@comcast.net> Westland, USA - Saturday, July 31, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Here i am again today thinking about Lish and looking at photoes from school. missing her again and thinking about how pety life seems and how stupid things are and just think i am still here and i shouldn't complain about my life when so many have lost their loved ones. we will say another prayer and keep her in our thoughts. jacqueline allen <rja7172@aol.com> Springfield, clark - Saturday, July 24, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) God bless your family. I was in Alicia's Delta Zeta pledge class at MU. I pray for her and your family every day and hope that peace and comfort comes bit by bit to you. She was a wonderful person and SO MUCH FUN!!!! Her memory will live forever in the hearts of those who knew her, but it would be so much better to have her here.....Karen Karen Adams Chong <karenchong@aol.com> Scotch Plains, USA - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Dear Titus family, I must admit that I found your website through curiousity. Since 9/11, I have had an ongoing need to try and learn as much as I can about the victims of that horrible day... to find some kind of humanity in what was so inhumane. I learned just this past weekend at a family gathering that your family is related to my grandmother Elsie Titus, and I felt compelled to learn about you and your beautiful daughter. After reading through this wonderful memorial site to Alicia, I can only send you lots of love from Oklahoma, and pray that this finds you healthy, and that your hearts are somehow finding a litle happiness in knowing what a legacy you have created here. I also have to say that I greatly admire and respect your wishes for peace in this world, despite what you have been through. Your sentiments are mine exactly... may our world leaders se the light someday. Much love to all of you... a distant relative. Bonnie Bryan <Gunnarsmom@sbcglobal.net> Enid, USA - Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Alicia, I remember so vividly the last time I saw you in the briefing room at Boston. I had flown with you several times and on hearing of my transfer to SFO you gave me the biggest hug. A smile and a wave and you were gone. But forever in my heart. Richard (The Flying Scotsman) Richard Anderson <andersonhomes@comcast.net> Portland, USA - Monday, July 12, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Hi! Sweetheart I was just sittting here thinking about you tonight., and thought I would write and tell you how much I love you and miss you. Aunt Patti Patti <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, usa - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) To the Titus family, My family said a prayer for all of you and Sweet Alicia on Friday, June 11th..her birthday. My son turned 5 that day and we've been thinking of Alicia on their birthday every year since the tragic event that took her from you. I hope knowing that she's an angel, called to do special work with God gives all of you comfort. I know her time with you was cut way too short, but he needed her there to do something powerful, I have no doubts of that. We will continue to remember your daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, friend every year on June 11th. As I stated last year, my son will continue to told about Alicia and everyone else that gave the ultimate sacrifice that day in September. We will also use how Alicia lived her life as a model for him and living his life. May God bless all of you and comfort all of you. To Sweet Alicia, may you rest in peace. Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Jill Smigielski Fenton, USA - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Happy Birthday Alicia. The angels are singing your praises here and in heaven. Franesca <Wryter54@yahoo.com> Miami, USA - Friday, June 11, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. You were beautiful then and still are today. Happy Birthday Sweet Alicia. Miss you very much and Love you very much also. Aunt Patti patti fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> mechanicsburg, usa - Thursday, June 10, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) June 11, 1973 was a day of celebration and joyousness; a beautiful little girl, Alicia, blessed us with her angelic presence; and our lives were forever changed. When I would hold her, I felt the pure joy of holding an angel in my arms and felt the Divine through her presence. The fullness, the richness, the beauty and the love that eminated from her soul soothed my own soul. All of us who really knew Alicia have been blessed in countless ways. I truly feel Alicia came to this world to make an impact in a way that would help us all. Her shining spirit, her quest for truth, her joyous smile, her yen for adventure, her open acceptance of all people, her care and concern for life, her sense of hope, her fun-loving spirit and her love and understanding were and are gifts given to each of us and all those that come after us. Tomorrow is Alicia's birthday. Let us feel the joy that she so easily displayed, the hope that propelled her onward, and the love that she held for all of life. Let us feel Divine peace within and strive to manifest that peace throughout the world. This is the only way to overcome violence and hatred, for they only serve to perpetuate more of the same. "Be the change you want to see in this world", wisdom from a true peacemaker, Gandhi, and from our dear sweet Alicia. A birthday wish for Alicia and for our world, let there be peace on earth and good will toward all. I really miss you sweetheart, Dad. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Thursday, June 10, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) You're birthday is coming up. We're going to celebrate it out here. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. Not a day. lyndsey cronk San Francisco, - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I was blind to so much beauty, Because beauty had one bad day, I could only fixate on the worst, How It burned me that one time, In that one unforgivable way, That seemingly unpardonable crime, But even nature can step out of line, fire, earthquake, flood, line to line, far from the rhyme, or reason, Much more than beauty's lone act of treason, But I saw past, excusing God for some reason, I could still see His rays to pay back with praise, But no matter how bright beauty's heart shined, For no matter how many days, still, I was blind, I was blind to so much beauty Because beauty had a bad day I could only fixate on the worst, How it hurt me that one time In that one unforgivable way But even nature can get nasty Much more than beauty's lone act of treason But I saw past, excusing God for some reason I could still see His rays to pay back with praise But no matter how bright beauty's heart shined, For no matter how many days, still, I was blind Beauty was finally forgiven, but too late, Beauty is no longer living Learn from mi-stake forgivemiss - Sunday, May 30, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) when will I find the flip side to catch you on? fan - Sunday, May 30, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Alicia I'm Sorry... After tasting other loves my fear infected I realized what was bad, wasn't your wine But my bottle's old and unforgiven grime Built up from being broken time after time That until emptied of you went undetected Of every last drop to be properly inspected I've seen it was my fault for not forgiving You, the antidote for poison and for living To lose, could have only led to life or death I was too afraid of facing either to even see Too addicted to our drama to let you go free Uncomfortably complacent in your company Emotion is much more powerful than meth And even more, is Power, to cause an effect Such a junky, abusing my drug of her breath Who was fresh air to everybody else she met Giant redwood groves can't repay such a debt I'm Sorry admirer - Sunday, May 30, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) well its graduation time, and i am so confused about what i want to do. I wish you were here to help lead me in the right direction. Its really hard with out you here. i just wish i could talk to you about all that has been going on. I Love you so much. *Britt* Brittany Williams Urbana, - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I did not know Alicia in this world, but I feel as if I know her now that she has joined the angels from reading thruogh this beautiful website. With my deepest sympathy in your great loss on 09-11-01. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. Jennifer Rodriguez <SeasonMom@aol.com> Toledo, USA - Friday, May 14, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I work for St. Paul's Chapel in lower Manhattan, and I met Alicia's aunt and asked to get the address to Alicia's once I heard her story and why she was there. I've never seen a person who seemed so full of life as Alicia, though I never knew her, I know the world will miss her. I pray her spirit lives on in those who knew her best. May she be peacefully at rest now.Sweet Alicia Suzette <srglover421@hotmail.com> Bronx, U.S. - Thursday, May 13, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Such a tragedy a beautiful young life lost. My deepest sympathies. Steve Wesley <swesley@cogeco.ca> Sarnia, Canada - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I thought I would write to you because,I'm sitting here at work thinking about you and wanting you to know how much I really miss you and love you very much. Love You Aunt Patti patti fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, U.S.A. - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Here it is Easter time again and I was thinking about you, and how much I miss you. I have been thinking of old times here lately, and how you grew up so fast and became a young lady and then you were gone. Only God knows why he took you at a young age. Love you very much. Love Aunt Patti Patti Fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, U.S.A - Thursday, April 01, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) Once upon a time I had a dream. I dreamed that my children would thrive and flourish and have children of their own who would grow in ways beyond them. I believed that by raising children who were wiser, more loving and more giving than we are that we help our world to evolve spiritually and become something greater. I look at my beautiful children and now my grandson and I can see hope for this world of ours that seems to be filled with so much hopelessness. I can see joy in the midst of all the pain. I can see peace in the midst of war. And love where all around there is hate. But what a price to pay! And the forces of good and evil rage on miring the perceptions of those who cannot see and refuse to listen to divine truth, only the echoes of their egotistical minds and ramblings of their arrogant leaders. As Gandhi said so insightfully, "Be the change you want to see in the world". May we all feel love in our hearts and peace in our souls. Alicia felt it and she lived it. Blessings, John John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Tuesday, March 30, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) YOU NEVER SAID I'M LEAVING, YOU NEVER SAID GOOD-BYE. YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT, AND ONLY GOD KNEW WHY. A MILLION TIMES WE'VE NEEDED YOU, A MILLION TIMES WE'VE CRIED. IF LOVE ALONE COULD'VE SAVED YOU, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED. IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY, IN DEATH WE LOVE YOU STILL. IN OUR HEARTS YOU HOLD A PLACE, NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER FILL. IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE. PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME!!! ALL MY LOVE TO LISH LOVE YOU, AUNT NAN AUNT NAN URBANA, U.S.A - Thursday, March 04, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) YOU NEVER SAID I'M LEAVING YOU NEVER SAID GOOD-BYE YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT AND ONLY GOD KNEW WHY A MILLION TIMES WE'VE NEEDED YOU, A MILLION TIMES WE'VE CRIED. IF LOVE ALONE COULD'VE SAVED YOU, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED. IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY, IN DEATH WE LOVE YOU STILL. IN OUR HEARTS YOU HOLD A PLACE, NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER FILL. IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE. PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME!!! ALL MY LOVE TO LISH LOVE YOU, AUNT NAN AUNT NAN URBANA, U.S.A - Thursday, March 04, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) It seems as if she left me so empty inside. I wish I was stronger than I am, but this I cannot change because Lish is not here with her beautiful smile of the loving laugh she always had. No matter what life threw at her she was ready, willing and able to meet it head on. I sometimes feel her presecnce when I am down, now some people may not believe in the spirit world, but if you would have met Lish you might change your mind. As she was growing up we spent alot of time together, but after she got out of college and my family grew we seen alot less of one another. Although that didn't change our special bond that we shared, it did distance us a bit. As you get older and you go your different ways you realize how important family and friends are, don't ever take them for granted because you never know when you will have to face a tragedy such as our family did on Septemeber llth. I hope everyone who reads this takes a couple minutes a day to tell your loved ones just how much you love them, because it may be your last chance. God Bless. Nancy Birt Urbana, U.S.A - Thursday, March 04, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) This site is beautiful. It reminds me of my sister who died in '98. She was 19, and she wrote poetry just like Alicia. I always tell myself that angels can't stay on earth forever, sometimes they have to leave early to go to heaven so they can not only watch over us, but others who are in need of an angel too. Dalelene <mrs_dmshakur@hotmail.com> Beltsville, USA - Thursday, February 26, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) Mr.& Mrs Titus, I have viewed the photos of your beautiful daughter and the beautiful poems that were inspired by her mature outlook on life. It is from these very things that you have acquired your strength. Your recollection of her life is beautiful and you must remember that you will meet again. Until that day comes, she will be the angel watching over you wishing she could dry your every tear. With my deepest sympathy and respect. Leann Davis Leann Davis <pinebluffnvegas@yahoo.com> las vegas, clark - Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) I have posted a few times on this beautiful site over the last year and a half. I will never forget that day and those who we lost.I hope and pray for those who were left behind.I still remember that God awful day as if it were yesterday,and I think I speak for millions of Americans when I say,"WE WILL NEVER,EVER FORGET" God Bless Alicia and those who know an love her!! Dan Dames <DDannyUSAF@AOL.COM> Parma Heights, USA!!! - Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) They consolingly say there are plenty of fish in the C But you are far from just a-fish You are the one and only A-Lish To get me in where it sadly seems I must now die to B Guest - Thursday, February 19, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) sweet alicia,our plant manager here at miller brewing gave me her internet access so that i could get into your site to let you know how very much i miss you and to let you know i carry your laughter,your smile,your passion for life inside my heart daily..i love you so and one day we will be together again...i think about you all the time and i have to deal with the pain of not hearing your voice and seeing that beautiful face or feeling your warm hugs ...you are always in my thoughts ....i love you...charlene johnson charlene johnson trenton, usa - Thursday, February 12, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) HI Dear Alicia just sitting here thinking of you today,thought I would write to you. I real miss you alot.Love You very much. Aunt Patti Patti Fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, U.S.A - Thursday, February 05, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) Well, "Boogie", see how many lives one person can touch? I will always hear your voice in my mind, saying"Why can't we all just get along?!" The concept of peace was SO simple for you. And you are right. Why can't we?!BLESSED TO HAVE KNOWN AND LOVED YOU; YFAJana. Jana Walker <janabanana717@hotmail.com> Rushsylvania, Logan - Thursday, January 22, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) Just wanted you to know that i love you and can not wait to see you in heaven. You have changed my life in such a positive way. I love you chris beck san diego, usa - Friday, January 16, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) On 9-11-01 i was woken up by my friend calling me, to tell me america was under attack. I turned on the news and could not believe what i saw. My heart went out to everyone that was effected by this tragedy. A few days later my dad told me i had a cousin that was on united flight 175 that i had never met before. This was the last thing i wanted to be told because i did not think it had effected anyone close to me. Even though i had never known her i feel like i am very close to her. Alicia would be related to my dads side of the family which is mostly from ohio. My grandmother Choice Beck which is no longer with us had the maiden name titus. Alicia you will be missed and loved in my heart always and their will never be a time where i forget about you. I know that you loved god and i know your looking down from heaven at all of us saying do not worry i am okay. This wrong doing of some very evil people has made me think about how fragile life is, one minute you are there the next minute you could be gone. Spend as much time with your family as you can and never take one thing for granted. I love you Alicia and can not wait to see you in heaven. chris eric beck <dmatter1@hotmail.com> san diego, usa - Thursday, January 15, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) I discovered the memorial site on September the 11th and visited some of the sites... Alicia's picture and smile struck me... and then, having an american mother, s french wife and daughter and an Chilean daughter in law drew me to her identities... Alicia and Nicole! My father tongue, french, has a job description that would certainly fit Alicia "Hôtesse de l'Air"... attendant sounds so functional and Hostess conveys something of the honor attached to a function of flying with people... in a friendly, reassuring, peace-granting way... Alicia's beautiful phrase on friends and angels goes to proove that she was the Air Hostess than everyone dreams to have on one's flight... I shared her thought and your website with my friends in the Church in Rennes I used to serve as a presbyterian minister and where, over Christmas eve there were many beautiful and friendly young women, now young mothers who brought me great joy in our youth camps... where my own three sons and one daughter played an essential role... I just couldn't imagine what would be our pain if one of them or one of our five grand sons came de depart... The shepherds raised their heads in awe and delight as the angels choir sang to them songs of love and peace..; Alicia helps us along... In Corsica, where I ministered these three last year I would greet you and all those in God's hands with "Pace e Salute"! Gilbert Gilbert Beaume <gbeaumecorse@net-up.com> Dinard, France - Sunday, January 11, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) My Dear Sweet Alicia, I will never forget you. I remember the day I was flying home from Orlando Florida with my friend and while we were having breakfast at the Friendly's at Orlando International I just remember eating and all of a sudden I hear that United Airlines Flight 175 struck the S. Tower Of The WTC. I could not believe it. The only thing my friend and I could do was wait in our hotel Room at Orlando Int'l and seeing out the window from the balcony and bathroom seeing all the airliners about to taxi out to the runway and take off to all that were making their final descent into Orlando hurrying from the runway and back to the gates. I knew Amy Jarret and Robert Fangman both on board with you on UAL 175. Well just think now you are in heaven and I will never forget you or your smiling face. when I always flew with you on board United. You, Robert, Amy J. & Amy K. Michael, Kathryn, and Alfred will remain in my heart and my friends heart 4 ever. you will be missed deeply by both of us. R.I.P. Alicia. I will always remember you as Sweet Alicia Titus... Kevin Chin-Gibbons <chin-gik@arps.org> Amherst , USA - Friday, January 02, 2004 at (Eastern Standard Time) My deepest sympathies go out to Alicia's family and friends over their devestating loss. She had a great life ahead of her. She was so young, so smart, so talented. May her hopes, dreams, and aspirations be fulfilled through her loved ones. As a resident of San Francisco of the same age, I came across her name in a newspaper article and her name just stuck in my mind. When I attached her name to a face, smile, and life, it gave me a stronger sense of what was truly lost on September 11, 2001. May all families of the 9/11 victims find inner peace in the coming years. Ozark Le <ozarkle@yahoo.com> San Francisco, USA - Monday, December 29, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) John and Bev, I didn't know Alicia, but I have many great memories of John during years we grew up together in Rushsylvania. Seems John was gone some during the years we were in 3rd grade through 9th, perhaps moved away for a part of that time, then returned? My thoughts of John center around athletic circumstances. I remember mentioning John to friends through the years as the one in my opinion who had greater athletic ability than any other I could remember. I also remember John as an easy-going kid. I can't remember him being angry. Now that this dastardly catastrophe has befallen your family, I can see after reading your entire website (except for most of the links) that John has grown up to be the type of personality I would have expected. I was very fond of John and coveted our friendship through those years. I don't agree with all of John's opinions or thoughts in regard to what has happened since that fateful Sept 11 of over two years ago, but I agree with much of his thinking. I have so many thoughts I wish I could share, but I leave just this brief thought regarding the Lord and his thinking about all this. I don't know what God thinks exactly, but I am reminded that Isaiah 55:6-11 teaches us to "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways," says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." The next verses are comforting, too.... There is so much of this passage I think applies here, but I especially point out that God's thoughts and ways are not as ours. We tend to think way too highly of this earth and time, when I am convinced God wants us to think more highly of eternity. I don't understand why God ordered the annihilation of entire nations during the Israelite (Jewish) reign of old testament times, but I don't question it, even though many "innocent" women and children were included in that annihilation. I realize that God's knowledge and wisdom exceeds that of all the world's people combined! I also notice from Isaiah's words that God's Word will not return to Him void. What is more important to our "fate" and destiny than God's Word? Our own wisdom pales so incredibly next to God's. Remember Job's "wisdom" when God rebuked him for questioning God's role in his own testing. (It wasn't God that tested Job, but God allowed it to happen.) I don't understand why evil seems to have so many victories, but I know that those who stand firmly with the Lord will stand victorious in the end. I pray for you and your family, that some peace will come, and my heart is with you in your grief. Christmas Day, 2003 Tom Haynie Charlotte, usa - Thursday, December 25, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) Dear Titus Family & Friends, Thank you for the priceless gift you've chosen to share through Alicia's words, wisdom and spirit. Your experiences & emotions, your insights, hold value that cannot be measured for so many. Many blessings, peace and love to you during this season. Alicia's spirit is strong and so alive, in the smile of strangers, in the generosity and open hearts around us ~ she is there. Thank you for challenging us to seek out greater peace in this world. Peace be with you, Saskia Saskia Chicago, USA - Thursday, December 18, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) The Christmas season is upon us; a time of nostalgic memories of days gone by; a time of family joy in which the wellspring of love for one another manifests so freely; a time of elation, joyousness and laughter; a time of peace and thanksgiving. Christmas is also a time of deep sadness and a soulful pain for all of us who have lost a loved one. Alicia's spirit lives on in our hearts, our minds, and our daily deeds. She is and was a shining star who shines on us all. Just knowing her has made each of us better, more loving, more joyous, more hopeful and wiser. Her beautiful presence in this world has elevated our consciousness and shifted the tenuous balance toward good and truth. Because of Alicia, I am a much better person. And because of Alicia I will strive to be the most spiritually evolved, loving and giving person I can be. All of you who knew her and those of you who find your way to this website but did not know her have been given a gift, a blessing of hope. Now it's up to us to carry the torch onward toward making this world a better place, a place of joy, peace and prosperity for all. So go forth this Christmas season with Alicia's blessing and do random acts of kindness(she'll love it!). Our world needs it! With a heavy heart and quiet tears, I offer blessings of peace to you and yours. John (Alicia's Dad) John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Tuesday, December 16, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) Dear lish, Christmas is almost here. As the holidays come is when i think of you most. I miss hearing you laugh, so loud but sweet. the holiday hurt the most because you and grandpa aren't here. i miss you both so much. I LOVE YOU and Miss you so. Brittany Williams Urbana, - Thursday, December 11, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) Alicia is in a great place now and doing the same great things she always did! And one day we will all meet this wonderful unique girl again and it will be sweet, just as she was! Nicky xx Nick <nw316msp@yahoo.com> london, united kingdom - Monday, December 08, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) I was looking at some old high school year books over the holiday weekend after my family had left for their long trip back to Ohio. I was sad at them leaving and came across a picture of Alicia. I felt a smile come over me when I started to remember her. Alicia always made people smile and was always in a good mood. I guess I can say that she lifted my sad spirits. Once again Alicia was my guardian angel. I keep you her family in my thoughts and prayers Ruthie Clark (Zerkle) <p8nzmom@prodigy.net> West Fargo, usa - Wednesday, December 03, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) What a beautiful young lady. To Alicia's family, you are thought of very much. Justice is being brought to those who inflicted your pain since that horrible day! God Bless, The Cornish Family Rick Cornish <rcornish@ptd.net> Allentown, USA - Saturday, November 29, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) My dear Lish, It is thanksgiving morning, we have decided to stay home this year and have a private family gathering. My heart is aching as I think of calling all of my children to wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Zac and Lana are in Montana, Shanoa, Jay and Logan in Ohio, Eli is home with us, and this is the only way I can reach you. I am very thankful for this wonderful site, it's just that I want you here with us. I miss you so sometimes I can't breathe. I miss your sweet voice, your wonderful hugs, your laugh, your fun loving nature, your adventure, our talks, our visits, and I miss the joy you brought to my life. I know that on this Thanksgiving day we are suppose to be thankful for all that we have in our lives, for all that we have been given. I am thankful for all that is in my life and all that has been given, but what about what has been taken away? What am I suppose to do with that? You were right Alcia, life is not always good.. it's just that simple. I am sorry Alicia if I ever discounted your feelings by trying to always get you to focus on the good things rather than the things that hurt you or brought you down. I never meant to do that. I just wanted you to feel life's goodness and your own joy always, always! I guess that's just what moms/parents do. We want to protect our children in some nieve sort of way.I have always loved you so much sweetheart. I think we get blinded by that , it's our protection from the ugliness that can tear our lives apart and we never, never want to see that. I am sorry I couldn't protect you from the ugliest of them all Lishy. I'm so sorry!!! And I am so very thankful for all of the wonder that you brought to my life. Your love and life taught me about joy and goodness, happiness and laughter, and about searching for truth and not settling for anything less. As I continue this journey, I will continue to search for these familiar, yet seemingly long lost things. I love you Lishy with all that I am! Always, Always Mom Bev Titus <titus@chartermi.net> Dexter, USA - Thursday, November 27, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) I was sitting here playing on the computer and got to thinking about you. I miss you very much Alicia.I wish you were here for me to talk to.I did have much time with you when we were little kids.Now that you are gone it makes it harder to know what i missed out on growing up.I just wish i had more time with you .I LOVE and MISS YOU VERY MUCH ALICIA.Love your cousin Nikki. Nicole <ashlie_nataja@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, USA - Wednesday, November 19, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) My wifes nephew told me of this site today. We were in the nursing home of my father-in-law. He died there this morning and as we were talking about him and remembering bits and pieces of his life, we all came to the conclusion that the Lord had determined that his work here was done and he had other things in mind for him. We know he is in a place of peace and contentment and doing God's work. As I read some of the thoughts about Alicia it is obvious that she did great work here on earth and I am sure she continues to do gods work as we speak. I hope this note finds John, Bev, family and friends with a feeling of peace in their hearts and a knowledge that Alicia did great work while here with us mere mortals. Clete Clete Scott <scottlitton@ctcn.net> Urbana, USA - Tuesday, November 18, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) After looking at this website i thought to myself...why? Why would god want to take such a beautiful person? I believe he needed an angel. And i bet Alicia is the best dam angel he will ever have... God bless Alicia's family im so sorry for your loss. John <jonowatts2502@hotmail.com> Wollongong, AUSTRALIA - Monday, November 10, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) Alicia's spirit lives on! I am continually confirmed of this. Last month, I had been in a deep funk for some time and was feeling very sad and desolate. I always awaken early then drift in and out of sleep until it's time to get up. During this hynagogic state I had a dream. In it I remember walking into a room rambling about the dismal state of affairs of our world when I looked over and Alicia was there. She just looked into my eyes and with a voice so sweet and loving she said, "Dad". The implicit message was, "let go of it and feel the love". I looked over and we hugged (those of you who know just how powerful an Alicia hug can be!), a hug as real as if she was in the room. I awoke sobbing but the affect was a distinct lifting of my spirit and a deep sense of prevailing peace. Since then I have felt more joy, hope, and healing than all of the previous two years. Also, yesterday I received a beautiful e-mail from Bradley Mott, a former classmate of Alicia's at Graham High School. He ran the New York City Marathon carrying an American flag and wore a t-shirt with Alicia's picture, her web address and "running for peace" on the back. He raised over $1000 for Alicia's Peace Memorial Fund. Bless you Bradley. Bless you dear Alicia, and bless our world. Love and Peace, John, Alicia's Dad. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Wednesday, November 05, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) Alicia, I think about you everyday and just remember you loving life,and everyday that goes by I am inspired by you and learn from you in some way. You inspire me to live for today and enjoy everyday. You were such a free spririt. Lately I have been listning to a song we sang over and over. I get in the car and play it one time for every trip i take. I miss you dearly and think of you every day. To bev,john, and your family thanks so much for Alicia, she will never be forgotten. I love you Lish and miss you dearly. To Bev, John and family my prayers are with you everyday God Bless all of you. MISS AND LOVE YOU LISH ANNA Anna Sizemore Clemans <kenclemans@sbcglobal.net> Springfield, USA - Sunday, October 26, 2003 at (Eastern Standard Time) I was sitting here today getting rready to go to work and was thinking about you and thought I would write to you. I miss you alot sweetheart. We have moved and you have a place in this house that is just for you. I burn a candle every morning for you until I go to work. Love You Aunt Patti Patti Fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, U.S.A - Friday, October 24, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I view this page to Lish almost everyday. I always try not to cry reading the thoughts about her. I have two kids of my own and i don't think i could go on with out them. They are so precious to me and i know she was to you. I've had her in my thoughts everyday. I have even showed and read this to my 7 year old daughter. She has our church pray for the family every time we go. My heart bleeds for the family. She was such a great person better then i would ever be. I served in the united states navy for years and i've seen alot of greaf and struggle but none can even come close to losing a child. I applaude her family for this web site. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share in her live. Jacqueline Allen <RJA7172@aol.com> Springfield, 45506 - Sunday, October 19, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Alicia's website has been such an inspiration and a source of healing for my family and me. Daily, I click on "Sweet Alicia" hoping for words of hope, reminiscence about Alicia's life, loving comments from friends and family, or confirmations from newfound friends worldwide. As her radiant smile and joyous laughter fade from my eyes and ears through the passing of time, I find myself clinging to the sweet memories and aspirations that Alicia so vivaciously offered to our world. If we could choose one thing that so exemplied Alicia's spirit, internalize it, and manifest that into our daily lives, our world would be well on its way to healing; to a place of peaceful co-existence; to a place in which laughter, joyousness, adventure, hope, inspiration, truth and love would be commonplace. So, as you go about your daily routine, think of Alicia in all of her radiant glory, and smile like you've never smiled before. Others will wonder what you're up to, so tell them you're just having an "Alicia moment" and let them wonder. In the loving spirit of our dear, sweet Alicia, and hope for peaceful tomorrows. Alicia's Dad John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Tuesday, October 14, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Alicia, I am so sorry to you and your family. I know that you are up in Heaven and that you can feel our thoughts rising up there to be with you. You & I connect in a unique way. On my 30th birthday this year I looked up my exact birth date and year on the internet just out of curiosity to see who else was born on the exact same date in the exact same year as me and to find out where their paths had taken them. Immediately I found this site dedicated to you. When I saw that you were one of the people we lost on Sept. 11th, my heart dropped. I broke into tears as I learned all about you. You lived such a full life. It's obvious that you were a real joy to be around. I'm sure you were an inspiration to everyone. I want you and your family to know that you have inspired me too. Even though you are in a different place, you still have the ability to inspire people. Your family and friends are helping you to do that here on Earth. When I read about you on June 11th, you inspired me even further to do my best in this world. I thought about how on that day - the day that was our 30th birthday, your family was probably hurting, knowing that you would be turning 30 if you were here. I wanted to leave a message here then, but I felt too emotional, and afraid that I would somehow say the wrong things. We on Earth tend to be afraid of that alot. But, in this moment I know that you and your family know my heart's intentions. You and your family have been on my mind since then. I have prayed for you and for them. For whatever reason, God brought me here now to let you and your family know that you are continuing to inspire people. Tonight I read what your father wrote & I felt inspired by his words too. He quoted Dr. Martin Luther King. This struck me because I often quote Dr. King myself. I was held at gunpoint by a stranger about 10 years ago which brought a lot of fear into my life. Out of nowhere, I felt drawn to the wisdom of Dr. King a few weeks after the incident. Only a few years ago I was finally able to forgive the man that did that to me. I understood everything your father said about forgiveness. It doesn't come easily, but it's something we all need to work towards. I was also born in Ohio, like you. I was really struck by the fact that we were born in the same state on the same date. My parents have told me that when I was a little girl I was completely fearless. I am not anymore, but you have helped to inspire me to work towards getting rid of all that fear so that I can accomplish more good here on Earth. I will keep you in my thoughts. Your photos made me smile at times because your childhood seemed similar to mine. You seemed to be quite a free spirit as a child too. Somehow along the way I became more of a chicken. :) You seemed to be fearless even in your 20's. I'm so glad that you were. You're an inspiration. May God bless you and your family and friends. I am sending peace and hugs in my thoughts to all of you. For the rest of my life I will never forget Alicia. Love, Mary Mary <talk2mary@hotmail.com> USA - Wednesday, September 24, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I remember Alicia when she was very young and did not have the pleasure of knowing her as she grew older. I am sure she was very nice, as is your whole Family. I am Sorry that there are such Evil people out there with misguided delusions. Billy Helfrich <wHelfrich@msn.com> Urbana, U.S.A. - Friday, September 19, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) They ran a story about Alicia and John in our city paper last weekend, 9/7 and I was so moved that I went to look up her website. You have done a wonderful thing here and given a huge amount to those of us who read it. In some ways, we are so remote here in Sydney. I was in NYC recently and went to the WTC site to pay my respects. It bought me a little closer whilst being so far away. You are a wonderful family and Alica sounds like she lived her life to the fullest, you must be so very proud. I hope that you will find peace and move through this difficult time. Merry Hughes <msh41a@hotmail.com> Sydney, Australia - Saturday, September 13, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) September 11th was very hard for me.i awoke at 8:30am to have a moment of silence with the rest of the world and honor ALICIA TITUS.To also thank God that He allowed me to be so deeply touched by Lishy's presence,to be blessed with the sound of her laughter,my eyes witnessed her outer beauty as my heart witnessed her inner beauty..I miss you so much Lishy and I love you....i had my coffee and remembered the last time we were all together..I played DIDO as i fixed breakfast then made two or three MUMOSO'S...Danced like no-one was watching...It's been two years and I'm still processing the fact you are gone from this crazy world leaving all of us who love you in agony and pain...Shanoa invited me to share the day with her,Jay and Logan in Yellowsprings at John Bryan Park...It was good for us to be together( MY SECOND FAMILY)What a blessing to have two families giving me unconditional LOVE...LISH every day i think about you and all the times we shared....Thank you for alowing me to be in your world for all those years...You are missed by so many and i will love you ALWAYS,ALWAYS. Charlene Johnson Charlene Johnson Trenton, U.S.A. - Friday, September 12, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I did not know Alicia but was very touched by this website. It truly made me realize how precious life it and how we can never take anything important to us for granted. Alicia was a beautiful person and this is such a great tribute to her. My thoughts are with your family during this difficult week. Shari Julien-Hughes Shari Julien-Hughes <shari.julien@med.ge.com> Basking Ridge, USA - Friday, September 12, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) This is a beautiful way to remember your daughter..

I wish I had been blessed to have known her, but I still feel as if she has touched my life even just through this website. Thank you. Dawn - Friday, September 12, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Yesterday i was waiting to hear her name and, her name was not said it made me disappointed the rest of the day. I didnt really know Alicia that well but i know she was a wonderful person just hearing people say so and, by reading all the dedications to her. From what i hear she will be very much so missed. I just want to let you know that i am thinking of her in my prayers thank you. Amanda Haerr St.Paris, USA - Friday, September 12, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) yesterday was really hard for me.

Brittany Williams Urbana, U.S.A. - Friday, September 12, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) This morning I sat at the kitchen table drinking my coffee, listening to the news. My first thought was Alicia, after they previewed the terrible tragedy on 9-11. This date will always remind everyone that terrible day. I still have the yellow ribbon on my porch in memory of Alicia. I remember Alicia as a happy and vibrant young lady,when she was a cheerleader at Graham. God Bless to you,John and Bev, and all your family. You were all blessed with a very beautiful young lady and her memory will remain in our hearts forever. Judy Thompson <jupo@ctcn.net> St. Paris, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) My thoughts and prayers are with you on this day of sadness. Beth Kite <bethk110@yahoo.com> Orlando, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) As I look on this page dedicated to my sister, I realize how many people show and shed there emotions. Its Sept 11th, we are trying to celebrate my brothers b-day. It is hard for me as a person to greive on someone so close and special to me. I do my best everyday to survive in the life we live in, when ya dont have much ya try and hold onto as much as ya can. Everyday I struggle for success, but it seems to part from my path. Alicia always had them words or expressions that would make you go do what you got to do. I need them words right now, lish im struggling on nothing, Ill see ya when I get there! Love you and missing you always. Elijah Titus Dexter, - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) They say "time heals what reason cannot" It has been 2 years since that horrible day when our country was viciously assaulted,and precious lives were taken.Every person who was taken that day was the most important person in the world to someone,but it in very obvious Alica was a very important person to many.Those who loved Alica,her family and friends, as well as Alicia herself will always be in my prayers and in my heart(as well as everyone involved in this senseless tragedy)God Bless you Alicia! Dan Dames <DDannyUSAF@AOL.COM> Parma Heights, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Delta Zeta sisterhood forever. We'll always love you, Alicia. Gamma Tau <hkdeffenbaugh@aol.com> Fort Wayne, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) May God continue to bless you and your family from this day forward........ Valarie Martin <vmartinjean@aol.com> Detroit, Wayne - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I shared Alicia with my students today, told them all about her and what a gift it was to have known her. She added so much joy and sunshine to my life - and I feel that I carry a part of her with me always. Bev, John, Eli, Shenoa, Zach, Lana, Jodi, George, Greg, Lyndsey and all of the rest of the family - I have been thinking of you and sending hugs and love your way all day. Bev sent me a card with a quote from Anais Nin "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage" I just wanted to share that as it has really helped me today when I thought curling up in a ball and sleeping in might be a good idea. Instead I went to work and was inspired by the beauty and wisdom in my 14 year old students. Thank you! Lish - I miss you beyond belief. love and light ~ tamara Tamara Kley <tamara_kley@yahoo.com> San Francisco, - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I knew Alicia for a short time when she was a Senior at Graham. Introduced to her by my old friend Pam Arnett, we shared a hotel room down in Nashville, TN during a cheerleading competition. I remember having a great time and am fortunate enough to have some pictures from that weekend. I will never be able to say words that can express what I feel. I just am fortunate that I had known her, even for a brief time. Alicia, your family is lucky to have you as an Angel who is always there to watch over them. Molly Carpenter <browns19@bright.net> Quincy, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I went to school with Lish, and she was one of the nicest people in that place. She always greated me with a smile it would pick me up so much. When i heard what happened i just fell of my chair and cried like a little baby. God has a plan for all of us and her plan was not on this earth. She was ment to be someone's gardian angle. I bet if she was here right now she would be smiling and dancing around. My thought's and prayers go out to you on this day and everyday. God bless you and keep you in hands, because you know that's where Lish is. Jacqueline Allen (LItchfield) <rja7172@aol.com> Springfield, 45506 - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I met Alicia once when we were both students at Miami University.

Elna Durkin <Estamper@Earthlink.net> Clinton twp, U.S - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) My duty crew and I were just watching the news at 5 o'clock, and we saw the pictures of a very sweet young woman who, like many of our brothers, died because of terror. I personally wish to extend my condolences on the behalf of the Englewood (Ohio) Fire & Rescue Department. We had some personnel sent from our stations to assist with search operations, and they brought us their pictures, memories, and tough feelings back with them. I am only 19 years old, but I have a deep love for this country and my job of serving the public, and even though September 11th was a horrible day for the world, it makes me take a greater sense of pride in my work, but it also makes me want to do always do my best to save a life, knowing that there were great people, such as Alicia, that had their lives taken and did not have a chance to be saved. My thoughts and prayers are with all that knew her, may your life be filled with nothing but the happiest memories of her. - Firefighter Jordan Samson, Englewood Fire & Rescue Jordan Samson ENGLEWOOD FIRE DEPT. <JS1420@YAHOO.COM> Englewood, United States - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) my thoughts and prayers go out to you and all who lost on that tragic day, May God's comfort be with you now and always. rsupinger <dirtybikes3210@msn.com> Piqua, usa - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Such a tragedy to lose your loved one to a group of misguided persons who have little value for good life.

Although I didn't lose anyone personally, I feel as if I have. I use to think of myself as the person who would do anything for anyone, but after reading Alicia'a tribute, I am making a new commitment to myself and to the memory of your daughter.

Sue Meloche <suemeloche@hotmail.com> Sterling Heights, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) It seems that the brightest lights burn out the fastest, yet while they shine there is no deep shadow around them. Nothing replaces the ones we have lost, but their light shines on, leaving the bounds of earth to travel through the universe. In time to arrive at the doorstep of God; being with the true spirit unfettered by the limits man has placed on the realm of the divine, this is the true religion and the place where the innocent can be found. This young woman who I did not know must be there now. Mark Detroit, - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) This is a beautiful tribute to your daughter. My prayers go out to you and all the other families that lost loved ones. Wendy <WSC715@aol.com> Hartselle, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) May God Bless You!

It's the best response when you are pushed beyond your limits and know that when you can't pray, God listen to your heart". Remember what John 16:33 said "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace...."

Shelley Imeson <cdtbv@allstate.com> Rochester Hills, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I am sitting with my new born son having just looked at this site. I am overwhelmed by the sadness and beauty in this world, how often they are thrown in together for some final mixed up recipe of experience. How confusing it all seems. I turned thirty in August, my baby was born in late May. Now that I am a parent I realise how I have opened my heart to a purpose larger than myself, how I have become more than just myself. The grief of losing a child must be the sharpest sorrow. I send you every good wish, every kind thought and all my blessings so that you may find your peace in this world, reclaim your trust in human nature and have the love you gave to your daughter sent back to yourselves to heal your hearts. May we all become agents of peace on this planet.

It may have not of hit me all at once but just remembering now makes me cry even more. Just remember she is looking down upon you and making sure that you are safe. Her time down here was cut short but she will never be a forgotten soul, spirt, friend, or daughter. God bless you.

Your website is such an amazing tribute to your daughter's life. God bless. Steffi <steffig22@hotmail.com> Belfast, N. Ireland - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I am very sorry that you lost your daughter. I would like to say i know how you feel, but i don't. I didn't lose anyone in such a vicious way. I don't know the pain that your feeling, and i couldn't tell you that it will every go away, because i don't know. What i do know is that it will be easier to keep your daughter close to you. No one can talk her out of your heart! Traci Garneau <Chicababy218@aol.com> Canton, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Extremely touching. I'm a native Detroiter living in Taiwan- teaching English. I found your website during a web surfing back to see what's going on in Michigan. As I read your (John) reflections, your words about God, forgiveness, and truth spoke to me a great deal. I too have lost a loved one (my father), experienced pain, and have wondered about my future. One thing I know for sure is that God has a magnificent plan for each of us. Including you, your family, and Alecia. His plan is now. He will help you go on. The pain is unbearable for you, but continue to turn to God for help. His plans for us are no accident and might be hard to comprehend, but they make sense to Him. God feels your pain and will help. Keep close to him. You are in my prayers. God Bless.

I'm a flight attendant for United Airlines based in San Francisco. I'm just a couple years younger than Alicia. I can only imagine the grief that the family and friends of Alicia have gone through and continue to go through each day that she is not here. From what I've seen on this website and from the countless flight attendants I've met in passing since 9/11, Alicia is remembered as a kind and caring individual. Eventhough I never knew Alicia or had the pleasure of flying with her, please know that the skies are not the same without her. But I'm sure she's watching over all of us; just like how she did when she was here. SFOSW San Francisco, USA - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I wish I'd known her, she feels to be a unique and one-of-a-kind person. My best wishes to your family.

Elliott Ng <elliottng@yahoo.com> San Francisco, 94123 - Thursday, September 11, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Even though I come from afar, I wanted to send you my sincerest prayers and blessings.

Love, Corina Corina <loncor@woh.rr.com> Urbana, USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) My thoughts and prayers are out to all of those who lost loved ones on September 11th, 2001. God Bless Everyone. I am thinking about Alicia's family and friends always. Ali Plesko <nascarchick15@hotmail.com> Mackinaw, U.S.A. - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) We met Alicia through my sister Yanitxa and Alex. They were on their way back to Chicago after a roadtrip to San Francisco. Alex is a great friend of Brett and Alicia caught a ride with them to Chicago to begin her training as a flight attendant. My family and I live in Denver, CO, and they stopped here for a 2-days rest. That is when we mwt Alicia, she was trully one of those people that makes instant soul connections with others, because we all connected with her, my husband loved her atlectic and outdoorsy spirit, our son loved her loving, caring, playful spirit, and I loved her intelect, her deepness, her mind and soul. The talks we had on that short time. Her love of Hemingway, Tuscany, Travel, Brett, Family. We talked about mental illness because she was currently reading about it and my brother is schizophrenic. We lounged by the pool and she spent so much time playing with our then 5year-old that he cried when she had to go. Then September 11 came, and I remember I could not get my eyes off the TV, I had just dropped of my then 6year-old at school and gotten back home, when the chaos and horror were getting started, I saw the second plane hit and could not look away. That night Brett send me an email telling us that Alicia had been in that second plane, I was frozen with shock, in disbelief, I looked for the fatalities lists but it was to soon, I looked for the UA website and there I found her name. I didn't know what to say to Brett, and then he dissappeared for a while, I believe he spent some of that time with you. Tommorrow it will be two years, our son is now 7years-old, and he has never and will never forget what he lost that day, his innocense and his sweet Alicia. Our love and prayers are with you, Your Daughter Lighten Up Our Lives and That Of All That Knew Her or Crossed Her Path. We will always love you Alicia. Aixa, Dariusz, Joshua Tofilo-Albino <mihnok@yahoo.com> Denver, USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) This is an amazing site. It brings pain and sadness to remember what an amazing person was taken from us almost 2 years ago. I flew with Alicia out of Boston and can not forget her great smile and warm hearted personality. I quit my job with United because it was never the same after September 11th, there were no more smiles like Alicia's and no more laughs. I hope everyone always remembers what a brave hero we lost and never forgets. There will always be a place in my heart for Alicia. Take care everyone, Amber Amber Peterson <amberp@fhcrc.org> Seattle, USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Although I didn't know Alicia, I'm wishing that I did. The more I read about her and learn about her, the more I realize that we are very much the same person. We have the same middle and last name...which is one of the reason's why Alicia's story first interested me. Once I began reading about her, I found more and more similarities and it scared me. It scared me to think that she had so much more to live for, her love Greg, her family, her friends, her career. Everything wonderful about her was taken away from all of us so suddenly. She seemed to be such a loving and talented woman who had so much to live for. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the attacks, I know you all will be grieving. You are not alone though, I will cry with you and help you remember your dear Alicia. God bless and keep you all and know that you will meet her again some glorias day. Lindsey Nicole Titus <lindseynicole@hotmail.com> Flora, USA - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I am so sorry for your loss. I just read the story of your daughter and I can feel your pain. What a beautiful young lady. As we are approaching the second anniversary of September 11th I will be thinking of Alicia, your family and all of the innocent victims from that day. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love and Hugs from Jacksonville. Christine <caglesgirl3@bellsouth.net> Jacksonville, USA - Tuesday, September 09, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) As September llth rolls around once again all of those painful memories come back with full force. I struggle from day to day with my anger and the loss of my beautiful neice. There are so many things that I miss about her. The way she always smiled no matter how bad things were. The joy that she gave to everyone she met. The ability to live her life to the fullest. The way she walked inot a room and brightened it as if the sun had just rose. There are so many other qaulities that she had, but the one that stands out more than the rest was the way she made me feel just being her Aunt Nan. We had more of a sister relationship than anything, we spent alot of time together in her growing years, but as she went on to live her life we faded a little and even though our time spent together was shorter than in the past we always made the best of what we had. The one thing that I wish she could have done before she had to leave us was to become a mother. She would have been the greatest mother in the world. She had an excellent role model from her own mother, Bev. She was like a second mom to me when I was growing up as I spent alot of summers at their home with their family. The one good thing that has come from this tragedy is the overwhelming thoughts and prayers that so many strangers have given to our family. Just when you think that there is no hope in this world ther are people who show up and make a difference--just as Lish would've done!!! I want to thank everyone who has wrote into the website and taking time out of their busy life to show our family support. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I MISS YOU VERY MUCH, LISH AND THINK OF YOU EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY!!!!! Love, Aunt Nan 09-07-03 Nancy Jo Birt Urbana, U.S.A - Monday, September 08, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) This is for Alicia's father, John. I am in Melbourne, Australia, although New York City is my home. It is Father's Day here, and I have just read a story in the Melbourne 'Age' about Alicia, and you, and your loss. I did not know Alicia, but when I read the story I wept, for her, and for you John. I have a 10 month old daughter, and I can feel every last bit of the pain you must have felt, and still do feel. My thoughts and my sadness are with you as we approach the second anniversary of this terrible event. May God bless you, and your family. David McDonald <mcdonalddavidg@mac.com> Melbourne, Australia - Saturday, September 06, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.I never knew Alicia but have had to deal with the death of a loved one almost 2 years ago too - I know how it feels. The tears come when you least expect it. Just when you think you can deal with it, it hurts all over again. I guess we can only be grateful that we had them in our lives. Gurit <gurit@scicom.com.my> Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Saturday, September 06, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Like many other, I have just read the Sydney Morning Herald article (Sep 6) and am moved to tears for your loss. I cannot comprehend the pain you all must feel at saying goodbye to such a wonderfully alive person that Alicia must have been. Surely hearts around the world will go out to you, as the second anniversary of the horrible crime is remembered. Andrew Johns <oracle666@yahoo.com> Perth, Australia - Saturday, September 06, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Dear John i was reading an article about your love for your daughter and i wanted to let you know my thoughts and prays are with you and your family. Thank you for allowing me to the see what a beautiful person Alicia is, Love George. George Frossinos <frossmode@iprimus.com.au> Melbourne, Australia - Saturday, September 06, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I didn't know your Alicia- but she sounds like a truely amazing and beautiful person. My thoughts are with all her friends and family in this sad time and I hope you find the strength to keep taking each day as it comes Kate <lennon_kate@hotmail.com> Sydney, Australia - Friday, September 05, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I write this after reading an article in our morning paper about your beatifull daughter. The events of 911 touched everybody around the world, I hope eventually in a postive way.I cannot begun to understand the amount of grief such an horrendous event has on you. But I want you to know, that my heart goes out to you all. Love, Support and Friendship for your future. God bless Alicia and The World Graham Lock Graham Lock <graham@minidiscaccessories.com> Melbourne, Australia - Friday, September 05, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I have just read an article about your daughter in the Sydney Morning Herald. I am weeping as I write this. I too have a wonderful, vibrant daughter, aged 24. I thought of your daughter and of my own and how I would feel if suddenly she was gone from my life. It would tear the heart from me, as it has torn yours from you. It is pointless to tell you that we all feel for you. You must know that, but I doubt it really touches your grief or dimishes it. I know one, thing, though - the vision you had of Alicia, sitting in the back of the plane with her child in her lap, is her gift to you. She still lives, in another place, and in that place she felt your pain and reached out to comfort you. Hold to that memory, very tightly. That is your daughter, still. Lynette Chamas <LynChamas1@aol.com> Sydney, Australia - Friday, September 05, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) Beautiful, soulful, loving, bright, vibrant, life-filled, joyous, adventuresome, giving, illuminating, wisened, strong, courageous, innocent, childlike, sweet, exuberant, hopeful, spirited, bold, exhilarating, cheerful, passionate, sparkling, effervescent, vivacious, energetic, alive, peaceful...angelic. My soul cries out for my dear sweet Alicia, and the pain lingers on. Allow her spirit to engage you on September 11th and have an "Alicia Day". Imagine the love power and the wondrous glory! Healing love to you all. Alicia's Dad John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Thursday, September 04, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) As 9-11-03 apporaches I will always remember Alicia. On One Christmas Day flying to Fort Myers Florida I had to switch planes. Aboard my second flight were flight attendants Robert Fangman, Amy Jarret, Alfred Marchand, Michael C. Tarrou, & Alicia Titus were aboard my 2 hour 5 minute flight to Fort Myers. Our United Airlines Airlines was the one which the flight attendants were aboard my flight were on A Boeing 767. It is clear that I will never hear the wonderful friendly voices of Robert, Amy, Alfred, Michael & Alicia again for they will lay buried in my heart 4 ever. Kevin Chin-Gibbons <Chin-GIk@arps.org> Hadley , USA - Friday, August 29, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) As September 11 approaches again, I find myself still actively grieving. There are no words that can measure the depth of my loss. Every part of my being aches beyond belief and longs to have my daughter safe in my arms again, to hear her laughter, to see her smiling face. I want to pick up the phone and hear her soft sweet voice sharing with me all of the wonderful things that are happening in her life and I want to share my life with her. But this is just a dream in the midst of this living nightmare. I just want to wake up! I want our world, all of human kind to wake up so that the horrific events of September 11, 2001 are never allowed to playout again. I am reminded of one of Alicia's favorites, "Prayer of St. Francis of Assiss". She had it bookmarked on her bedstand in her San Fransisco apartment in late September, 2001 when we went to collect her things. It spoke to me of how Alicia chose to live her life, embracing diversity, actively seeking ways to sow more love, share more joy, shine more light, to console and understand, to love and give all that she was to all that she believed in. She was truly an instrument of peace, and I know how blessed I have been, and still are, to have her in my life. My life will never be the same because of her being so fully in my life.......and now, not. I am thankful for all that she brought to my life, and to all that she met. And I am ever so thankful for this wonderful site that Alicia's friends, Lyndsey, Paula, Denise, and, boyfriend Greg started in her memory. What a tribute to her and an honor for us. We love you all, and wish you Peace, Bev Titus, Alicia's mom Bev Titus, Alicia's mom <titus@chartermi.net> Dexter, USA - Thursday, August 28, 2003 at (Eastern Daylight Time) I knew Alicia through Zac, and his wife Lana. Bev and John, I think you are the ones who put this together, and it is very beautiful, you both have a way, of bringing the positive into the worst situation, alicia was a beautiful person first and foremost because of the way you both raised her, this website does a fantastic job of portraying alicia's life in a way she would be very proud of.....god bless you and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Jennifer Elaine Barnes <jenbarnes00@yahoo.com> Urbana, Ohio U.S.A - Being a mother of one of the lost on that horrendous day, I can simpathize with the letters that Mr Titus writes in honor of her beautiful daugther Alicia. What a wonderful young woman! she reminds me of my handsome young son that went to those burning buildings to save lives as a firefigther and never came back. My son along with 342 brothers of the FDNY gave the bigest gift to humanity, their own lives. His name is Sergio Villanueva. We all are very proud of him, but like Mr. Titus say, nothing can help the lonelines of not having him to hug and hear his voice and see his beautiful smile. My prayers go to the Titus family in this 2nd. anniversary of pain and desperation. May God bless you all. Delia Villanueva <deliamuchi@yahoo.com> Flushing, usa - With the approach of September 11th, those of us most deeply connected with Alicia are overwhelmed with painful reminders of that tragic day two years ago. I bathe in radiant thoughts of my dear sweet Alicia, but my mere memory is grossly inadequate to fill the void in my saddened heart. Alicia's soul lives on in heaven's glory, but her physical absence from my life is a greater burden than a father's heart can bear. I sense her soulful presence in times of despair and in moments of joyousness, but I long to hold her in my arms and here her free-spirited laughter in my ears. Both Bev and I are continuously confirmed of Alicia's spiritual presence in our lives, yet these phenomena feel like bare reflections of the brilliant light that was her life. Her presence in this world was so profoundly moving, so full of love and truth, so divinely inspired, so warm and gentle, so vibrant and alive...that her loss cannot be consoled by mere visions or by faith alone. I yearn for her return as I do the painfully difficult work of healing my shattered heart. Blessings and peace to all of you who feel Alicia's love in your hearts. Alicia's Dad, John. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - I come to this website every now and then because it gives me some kind of feeling that i cant describe. What a beautiful girl alicia was. I usually come here to read the guestbook entries. It gives me a good feeling reading how people from all over the world found this place to share their thoughts and feelings about this terrible event. lately however some people post inappropriate advertisement and this really shouldnt be a place for that. why cant people respect the wishes of a mourning family and dont use this beautiful webpage created to be a memorial for alicia for their own needs. I am really sorry about that. best wishes to alicias family and friends!! Christine Switzerland - To the family and friends of Alicia, What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful young woman- I am so sorry for your loss and grateful for all of your work in promoting peace in honor of Alicia and the other victims of September 11th, which include my fiance and best friend, Sergio Villanueva. May you find comfort in your memories and strength in your ongoing mission. Love and light, Tanya Villanueva Tanya Villanueva <innerpeace@nyc.rr.com> Jackson Heights, USA - This is very nice site and tribute to Alicia. My Mother was in her training class and she heard about the site today. She is no longer a Flight Attendant, but she has fond memories of Alicia. JFS <stsjfsd@hotmail.com> Denver, USA - My 9 year old niece was asked by her teacher to write an essay on what 9/11 meant to her. She wrote that she wanted to join the army and that her Aunt had lost a friend that day... and that what happened shouldn't happen again. I took the opportunity to tell her about how Alicia and her family were against using war and violence as a way to keep peace. I hope Alicia's message is carried on.... Paula Ventura Its been a tough day, but I know you were there for each of us. Thank you for continuing to share your beautiful smile and incredible heart with us all. 30 years ago you graced us with your presence & all who knew you have been blessed from that day on. You are like a shooting star that left a trail of star dust. Forever changed are we who it fell upon. I know you are happy and sharing your joy even now, but how I miss your sweet voice. It's still with me, the sound of your "Hi Aunt Jodi" as I answered the phone or even moreso the laughable sound of that same sweet voice as you swore at a driver who cut you off. I miss your great heart, sweetie, but I love you most for your piss & vinegar. For the way you could put someone in their place & make them laugh at the same time. For all the times you stood up for yourself or those you loved with the fierceness of a tiger. For your willingness to argue for what you believed & rarely concede.(even when wrong!) It's not just your sweet voice that I love & miss so desperately, but all of you, Lishie. I remember vividly the conversation we had about getting old. You: Why do old people lose all sense of style? Me: They've realized it just doesn't matter, that comfort is more important. Also a lot of older people just don't have the money. OR they never had a sense of style to begin with! You: Well, I'M going to be one of those old ladies that dresses well. And we all know you would have. Your Jackie O glasses and your vow to never wear jelly shoes and your propensity for spending the rent & food money because a pair of jeans made your butt look good were hints of that! You're 30, Lish. You'll never have the wrinkles & gray hair that you worried about...but I wish you would have. I love you with all my heart. YFAJ Jodi <uscrew@compuserve.com> St Pete, - Happy belated birthday, sweet girl! I send my prayers and love to you and your family on this occasion to celebrate your life; my suspicion is that they celebrate you in many moments of every day. I toast you, as I do whenever I raise a glass alone; to you and my sweet departed friends and family. Thank you for the continued inspiration you bring to my life. You are a special person, and so loved. Peace be with you and your family ~ happy 30th, sweet, beautiful girl. Saskia Chicago, USA - Happy Birthday Lish! Today when we woke up on the top of Blue Cloud Mtn (yes, I was by far the last one out of my tent), me, Greg, Tamara, Ray and your amazing family, we shared mimosas (yes I had more than everyone else) and toasts to beatiful you. You still inspire me every single day. I miss you so much and need you so much that it still makes me double over in pain. But you are still so loved, potently, actively loved, and we still feel your presence wherever there is joy. I love you Alicia. You are so beautiful. Lyndsey SF, USA - I never knew Alicia and have met her father once at Schoolcraft College. My mom, Lorna, works there as does John and Bev. I am a middle school teacher and when September 11th occured, we, the teachers at my school, had our students write a letter to the Titus family and we delivered those to them. For middle school students, they needed an outlet and I hope that it offered your family some support and love. Since then, I've been drawn to this website and haven't been able to explain why. Your daughter, sister, friend was such a beautiful young lady and this world is certainly a better place for having had her here. Today, I realized that my son has the privilege of sharing the same birthdate as Alicia. He'll be 4 on Wednesday and when he gets older, I will tell him about September 11th and Alicia's story is one that I plan to share with him. So, to the Titus family, on June 11th of every year, we will think of your daughter and your family. From reading all of the thoughts and comments here, John and Bev, you raised a wonderful woman that touched so many lives! Alicia, happy birthday and may you rest in peace. Jill Smigielski <middleschoolteacher@yahoo.com> Fenton, - On June 11, family and close friends will join together at Alicia's brother(Zac)and sister-in-law's B&B in Montana to celebrate her 30th birthday. The agenda is unplanned but we all know one thing for certain, that an "Alicia Moment" like this deserves unbounded joyousness and free-spirited frivolity. Her radiant bursts of laughter will be heard by those of us listening and the energy will be electrifying. The mountains will echo with her beck and call for us to come play and feel the exuberance of life itself. She will show us the way to fully emerge in the moment at hand with laughter, love and lots of fun. That is, if we can overcome the overwhelming sense of desolate pain and pervasive sadness that has become a part of our grieving hearts since September 11, 2001. Alicia's spirited presence will be in our midst to help us rebound from those moments of forlornness as she will so eloquently speak the words we all need to hear, "come on guys, suck it up, let's party!" Please say a prayer for healing and for peace and for the spirit of Alicia to guide our way. Our world needs it!! Love, Alicia's Dad John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - I don't remember meeting Alicia, but know her parents John and Bev well since I got involved with the Ohio Association of the Swedenborgian Church in 1988. I intend to do my part as Sec. of the Ohio Assn. to see that Alicia is never forgotten and that her peaceful ways be useful here and to eternity. Edmund G. Swiger <juneandedmund@att.net> Pittsburgh, USA - I was so taken by the TV show we did. I am now back on line after, what I think, was a shutdown by our government as well. I admire what you are doing and support you in every way. I have just edited the show "Critical Issues - Alternative Views". with Rick Stahlhut, Dr. Kramer and Dr. Cooney. If this does not convince our citizens, then there is little hope for this town. Once again, It was a great experience hearing your story and I am honored to have produced the show. Send me your address and I will see you get a copy of it. Best wishes. Bill O'Brien Producer, Photomedia Productions William F. O'Brien <wfobrien1016@yahoo.com> Kalamazoo, U.S.A. - Itself not because I write this, but as soon as saw the first one photographs of Alicia a great deal of peace transmitted me and harmony, went as if was fence, and not even I knew it, is more, I cannot speak well in language ingles, but senti many things, was like an opresion in my chest, and at same time inside my I exploit a great emotion, I felt many desires to cry, of reir, and went also To feel that perdi to someone that knew, it I cannot explain, my desire but large, is that be happier where want that be found, that the love of all those that they want it aumente with its remembrance, that God it of more said and love to its side. Translation to English of entry below (using online translation site): - No se porque escribo esto, pero en cuanto vi la primera fotografia de Alicia me transmiti? mucha paz y armonía, fue como si estuviera cerca, y ni siquiera la conoc? es más, no puedo hablar bien en idioma ingles, pero senti muchas cosas, era como una opresion en mi pecho, y al mismo tiempo dentro de mi exploto una gran emoción, sent?muchas ganas de llorar, de reir, y también fue sentir que perdi a alguien que conoc? no lo puedo explicar, mi deseo mas grande, es que sea más feliz en donde quiera que se encuentre, que el amor de todos aquellos que la quieren aumente con su recuerdo, que Dios le de más dicha y amor a su lado. Manuel Sibaja <joshua_aviv@yahoo.com> México - Last Saturday, Bev and I spoke to a group of people on the Kalamazoo College campus. I shared Alicia's story and gave some insight into the beautiful, peaceful, loving soul who graced us with her presence for 28 fleeting years. As I spoke about Alicia, the bright sunshine shone upon me and illuminated Bev, who was sitting in the front row. I could feel Alicia's essence, her strength, her courage, her grace, her sense of peace and her gentle sweet nature throughout my talk. My message was one of peace and one of hope that we the people in this crazy world will open our hearts, our minds and our souls to that power and wisdom which created us all and learn to "just get along", as Alicia proclaimed. Let us join together, for Alicia's sake and all the other beautiful people who gave their lives on September 11 and since, to make this world one in which peace is more than merely guns at rest, but a place of innocence, hope, goodness, truth and love. Peace and Love, John John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - life has changed after that september tuesday morning 2001 we are all stil1 grieving i cant believe these poeple a are gone thar should be the biggist punishment for bin laden my thoughts and prayers go out to alicias ans others lost on that day familys brandon nussdorf <bnussdorf@hotmail.com> lowell, middlesex - Mourning A quiet September morning, A sudden slice of violence Wounds deepen as time passes With the overwhelming silence Uniformed professionals Climbing skyward, unrelenting Unaware what fate awaits them So focused and unyielding They expected not an accolade No cheer to fill their ears Impossible to watch their end And not shed swollen tears Oh those fireman fought bravely Give them everything they're due But the heroes whom I mourn Wore aviation blue (c) 2001 Andrea Strickland Thank you for a website that allowed one who did not know Alicia to catch a glimpse of her essence. She shimmered on earth, just as surely as she shimmers in the night sky now. My condolences on your loss and my appreciation for your willingness to share this lovely young woman. With the utmost respect for the family that nurtured and encouraged her growth and eternal appreciation for allowing me this access...another United flight attendant Andrea Strickland <flybyferry@hotmail.com> Clinton, USA - My thoughs of Sweet Alicia The support my family has recieved by close friends or strangers looking at this web site, has shown me the love and compassion that this world can provide. The heart felt words of strangers not even from the U.S., people who never new sweet alicia, but can feel her amazing presence even though she is gone.They can feel the warmth and tingling sensation that comes over their body. The warmth is the love that alicia gave, the tingling is her presence that lets you know she is there. The peace that she spoke of makes you calm and relaxed. You dream of this utopian place, Alicia is there and you can feel her essense and you then know that peace will someday come to you. The peace keepers of the world spoke, and our leaders did not listen. We the people of the United States, did not speak loud enough. Remember this the next time you pass a peace rally or a prayer vidual, just remember Alicia Titus and all of the fallen victims of hatred. Love you lish Z Zac Titus <zactitus@hotmail.com> Helena, USA - My wife Mary Kay and I very much like the Titus family. Our daughter. Karen, was very close to Alicia when they were girls in early grade school in Ohio. My only real memories of Alicia were of her as a child. She was fun to be around. She was incedibly perceptive. Karen was very sad when the Tituses moved from near Urbana to St. Paris. I understand, especially from John and Bev, that Alicia was a caring person committed to nonviolence. Although the world is going in an opposite direction direction now, I hope eventually it will turn toward nonviolence. People like Alicia and her parents poont the way. I was blessed to work at Urbana University for 14 years, and am very glad the Foundation is connected with Urbana. Early in life Alicia was sweet and loving. It sounds like she always was, and was a great friend to have at any age. Blessings and Love. Ted Klein Ted Klein <TKlein3388@aol.com> W. Roxbur (Boston), Suffolk - As I write this, I realize how precious life is and how I need to live in the moment as much as I can. Alicia was my goddaughter and her death affected me on a very deep level. Both of my parents died within the past eight years and although deeply saddened, I never cried for either one. In fact, I probably only cried 3 to 4 times in 30 years. Upon hearing about Alicia, I remember being unable to hold back the tears. At the funeral home, once I had the opportunity to see her parents, my dear friends, John and Bev, I cried so that I was unable to talk. I am sure that in the 26 years I have known them, they had never seen me cry. Since then I had cried many times. I feel that Alicia gave me the gift of being able to share my emotions and has deepened the quality of my relationships and my life. Most of my strongest memories of her is as a small child when she would stay overnight with my wife Karen and I. I beleve we took her to her first movie when we saw Pinnochio at the Urbana Cinema. The last time I saw her was at the wedding of her brother, Zac. I remember her handing me a box of butterflies to release and how fitting it seemed to receive them from her. I also remember remarking to others how Alicia was one of my favorite people. In spirit she still is. I feel her presence often when I allow myself to be open to her. I think of her warmth and joyful personality and draw inspiration from these thoughts. My wife and granddaughter see Alicia and talk to her whenever there are clouds in the sky. I am convinced that Alicia wants everyone to avoid feelings of bitterness and hatred. She loved peace and practiced it in her life. To honor her memory, I am committed to practice peace in my life as well. Sweet Alicia, I love you and miss you so. Albert Cowen Albert Cowen <acowen@co.greene.oh.us> yellow springs, greene - With your lips not here I kiss rubies to remember. When I can't sip from you, I put my lip on the cup's lip. Instead of reaching into your sky, I kneel and take handfuls of earth. Pablo Neruda - My name is John, im 17 and i live in Australia. I never really understood what happened on spetember 11. I never thought about all the lives that were lost. I was going through the victim list when i came across Alicia. I dont know what made me open her profile. I then came across this site and then i realised how many people have been effected by this beautiful girls death. All those photos of Alicia and her family made me think, why would god want to take such a pretty, happy and loved girl. I now know its because he was in need of an angel...Shes with him now safe and happy. God bless you Alicia and god bless your loving family. Im so sorry for your loss... Yours, John Watts John Watts <jonowatts2502@hotmail.com> Lake Heights, Australia - I dont know Alicia personally, but one of my friends told me about this site. I'm sorry that she had to die in such a horrible way. My thoughts are with all her family and friends. Angie Benson <lil_raskie4eva@hotmail.com> Shade Gap, America - It is soon to be my 20th birthday, then will come 21 the following. To know that My eldest sister cannot be there as I get older or any of my other siblings, it takes me away, and holds my breath. All I wanted was for her to see me graduate, it was planned-n-all. I love you lish, and if there was a way to turn back time, my time would be to get to know you better, see you more, even laugh with you, as the others talk about memories you've shared, im wishing I could of had some too, so I could maybe sleep better. I know your in heaven smiling down, im not doing my best, and I know your saying get your feet off the ground. I love you, and will always and forever more miss you. My tears will always fall, knowing my luck always runs dry!! Elijah - Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth; Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; Lead me from hate to love, from WAR to PEACE. Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe, Peace...Peace...Peace Author Unknown Wells Cathedral, England - Well it has been so long since alicia left us and I finally sat down and looked on her web site. I'm sorry it took me so long to do this but I have not been able to deal with not haveing Alicia here with us that I have just blocked everything and everyone out of my life except my daughter Ruby and my husband Terry. I feel so lost sometimes because not only did I loose my favorite niece but I also lost my best friend and sister because I couldn't handle the lost of Alicia. I have been so angry at the world that I couldn't be there for my sister, my brother-in-law,my nephews, and my other niece. And god only knows how sorry I am. I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR NOT BEING HERE FOR YOU. The president started the war last night and all I could do was cry for Alicia. All I could do was think of her watching the TV I don't even know what the president was saying or what the newscasters were saying. I feel so confused about all this war and hatred. But I know that someday when God is ready for me not to be confused anymore I will be. BRENDA JOHNSON <bjohnson@urbanacitizen.com> URBANA, USA - This is just a reminder of how I will never forget those who lost their lives on 9/11/01,I will never forget those who love Alicia and who will always miss her,I will always wear my mercy band with her name on it,on 6/11 and 9/11,,just to let everyone who loved this very beautiful lady,she still lives on !!! beleive me!!! she has a very strong spirit!

My emtions become so intense I cannot collect my thoughts to speak my heart thoughts, so much sadness and sorrow mixed with joy and laughter.I fell in love with your spirit,your contagious laughter,and girlishness and with you as a woman. Being in your presence allowed my inner child to come out and play. Whenever we were together I always felt like there was no place else you would rather be and no one else you'd rather be with.You are a gift of pure joy and love.I'd bathe in your bubbly friendship as I'm sure all who know you felt the same.God blessed me with your grace,your beauty,your love...Lishy your spirit will always live on with-in my heart and soul cause you are sooo unforgetably unforgetable...I'll forever miss your warm HEARFELT hugs...I MISS YOU SO MUCH and I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE... Charlene charlene johnson <cjohnson@MBCo.com> trenton, united states - I love this website and the love that went into its creation! I especially love the twinkling stars and Alicia swinging on the tree rope. My daughter, Corina, took that picture of Alicia when she was babysitting, as part of a high school photography course. I have always seen it as a picture of beauty, grace and symmetry, which in many ways is a true description of Alicia herself. When Alicia died, I tried so hard, like many who love her, to find words to describe the quality of her personhood and character. As I was agonizing over this, and trying to write it, I felt Alicia's presence with me. It was as though she was laughing delightfully at me and saying, "Don't take this so seriously. I'm fine and everything's really okay. You'll find the words". Shortly afterwards I found these phrases from Dag Hammarskjold, the great statesman, which I think capture some of Alicia's essence as a person, and were shared at her memorial service. The first is,"To exist in the fleet joy of becomming, to be a channel for life as it flashes by in its gaiety and courage, cool water glistening in sunlight." The second is, "Goodness is something so simple; always to live for others, never to seek one's own advantage..In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action." All the wonderful descriptions of experiences people who knew and loved Alicia, seem in some way to fit within these phrases (and more). When I last saw Alicia, it was at her brother Zach's wedding and I hadn't seen her for quite some time because she had been living out of state. Her bubbly zest, warmth, and enthusiasm for life just radiated from her and I recall telling her what a beautiful young woman she had grown to be. I remember her in a Sunday School class I taught, when she was at the awkward, self-conscious age of 11 or 12 years old. She would say how ugly she was. It was impossible to convince her at that time that she was, even then, a wonderful, attractive little girl - but like many of us, who see ourselves as "ugly ducklings", she began to mature into the beautiful "swan" that she was meant to be, both physically and in her spirit. My heart aches more than I can say for the loss of Alicia to so many of us who loved her and grieve for ourselves, her family and many friends. How hard it is to accept that she will not get to "glide on her pond of life" here on this earth - will not get to experience the joys and heartaches that go with lifelong relationships like marriage, children and friendships - won't get to visit the far-off places she still wanted to see, or experience the many adventures she envisioned for herself in her future. WE ARE ALL CHEATED AS A RESULT OF THE EVIL THAT TOOK HER LIFE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN FILL THE PARTICULAR HOLE THAT SHE HAS LEFT IN THE LIVES OF THOSE OF US WHO CHERISHED HER. But, as John and Bev, her parents, have told us all, we can honor her life by "carrying the torch" of her legacy. We can learn to love better, to give more, and to be voices and examples for peace in our own lives and in the world. We can say "no" to violence, hatred and intolerance and continually try to remember that we are all children of the One Creator, called by many names. Separateness is an illusion and we must learn to love each other and settle our differences through principles that exmplify mutual respect and a desire for the welfare and highest good of all to be our goal. We must not let ourselves fall victim to the hatred that took Alicia's life, but instead we must honor all life, enjoy our own lives and keep before us always, Alicia's beautiful, smiling and radiant spirit. May God's love, blessings and guidance be with each of us as we try to find meaning in this seemingly meaningless tragedy, and may our shattered hearts begin to mend. Betsy Coffman <bbcoff@iapdatacom.net> Urbana, USA - Now and again I have come to this web site. I am overwhelmed at the love Alicia's friends and family felt for her. I didn't know her, but think of her and the others we lost often. You have done a wonderful job creating a place to come and remember Alicia. Thank You, Merida, UAL F/A Merida <meridafisher@earthlink.net> Amissville, USA - 3-1-03 Dearest Alicia, Sometimes I come here just to read over the wonderful tributes to you and click through the photographs. It makes me feel connected to you, your family, and friends. Seeing you in the pictures from the Islands brings me such joy. Our families share a special bond because we have shared this magical place. I see your smiling faces and a sense of peace surrounds me. It is the essence of your family that makes them so special. They are all so wonderful! I think about your mom, dad, Shan, Zac, and Eli often, sending loving prayers their way. I have cried as I read what each of them has written, and my heart aches. You were and are such a blessing to them all. Greg's message was especially beautiful. It's quite obvious he adored you. I send loving prayers his way as well. Their love for you transends time, space, and this physical existence. Your presence in all of our lives has been and will continue to be a blessing. It is unfortunate that it has taken your tragic death to remind us of how precious our family and friends truly are. My eyes have been opened and I truly cherish all that I have been blessed with. May your light continue to shine within and all around us. Love always, Corina Corina <loncor@woh.rr.com> Urbana, USA - Alicia is my cousin.I miss her very much.She always knew how to make you laugh.If you were in a bad mood she knew how to make you feel better about yourself and life.I looked up to her for many things.There is one thing i remember most about her.Her and I took toilet paper to the junior high in St.Paris to toilet paper it but there was alot of kids and teachers there for a sleep over at the school.We carried two trash bags of paper from Aunt Bevs to the school and back.We throw the paper out the up stairs window so and Bev would not find out what we were up to.I miss you very much ALICIA.I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.

She spent alot of time at our house. I just wanted to say that after all this time, it still is very fresh. God Bless! Kathy Albright <kathy_albright@hotmail.com> St.Paris, USA - Nothing gold can stay, Or, so I've been told. As dawn gives way to day. The Mystery continues to unfold. The gold glistens with brilliance and light, Even though the earthly eyes cannot see. And through the darkness within the night; New hope, new life, slowly encompasses me. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, - I know Alicia through her sister Shanoa. I was one of Shanoa's friends while she was in school at Urbana. Shanoa lived next door to me in East Hall for two years and then she lived with me in the suites for a year. I always remember how the whole Titus family would beam with happiness everytime they got to see Alicia. I'm sorry that no one will ever see that beam of happiness again. Laura Neufarth <lauraneufarth@hotmail.com> Cincinnati, USA - Oh Lish beatiful butterfly girl, I miss you so much - every single day. Thank you for being near me over the hard weeks last month - I knew it the very instant you popped in to check on me, sudden calm, and I could hear you too, with your big warm smile and giggling as you told me to just snap out of it and move ahead with joy. I miss you til it aches. Lyndsey Cronk <Lyndsey@bigmouthgirl.com> SF, USA - i thought of alicia alot over the holidays and it has taken me some time to put my thoughts in order - i want to express the feeling of respect and inspiration i have for you all, alicia's family, and those who love her- but mostly i want to express the respect and inspiration i feel toward alicia - what a lesson to be learned, what a reminder to us all of the power of love. how strong this womans love was ... no not was, how strong her love is. it is a reminder to me of the importance of love - that love is what we share, and love is what we leave behind ?i also want to express is my feeling that it is beautiful and miraculous that alicia is able to share so much passion with so many people still, and that we are still receiving the blessings of her gifts - and i know that those words, or any words can not fill the holes in the hearts of those she left behind, but boy! those of you that knew her were lucky, lucky, blessed people - i can only imagine the strength of her love, the force of her love, the power of her bonds - considering i feel bonded to her and blessed by her gifts, never even having known her. Thank you Alicia, and thank you to those who have led me to her. daniel thomas <dannytdot@hotmail.com> renton, - My Big Sis, Alicia, I have been trying to figure out what I would say to you if I had one more chance. I want you to know that I love you and am missing you terribly. At first, I really didn't believe you were gone. I kept telling myself that you would come back from a trip and wonder why everyone was worried about you. I don't think I completely realized how much I would miss you until you were gone. You have always been the one person I could count on to be there no matter what. Lish, you have always been their when I needed a friend, a sister, a confidant, or even just a shoulder to cry on. I didn't realize a lot of this until the last couple of years you were around. I regret not figuring this out sooner. I want to apologize for getting mad at you for petty things. I don't think you completely realize how much you miss someone until they are gone. Lish, there have been times when I will be sitting around or doing something that is important and think "I have to call Lish cause I know she would appreciate this", and it's a hard realization that you are in a place I can't call or ever hear your voice again. I took you for granted while growing up! I always assumed that you would be there whenever I needed you, when I needed my big sister. I never got to properly thank you for being there when I needed you the most. Thank you for being around when Logan was born and when he had surgery. You helped me with him when not many others would. Lish, you have gotten me through some hard times and I will always be in your debt. I am hoping that you will still be my big sis in the sense of looking down on me and helping me jump the huge hurdles that will be put in front of me as I venture through life. I will always love and need you in my life. I love you and miss you. Shan Shanoa Titus <titus@chartermi.net> Tipp City, USA - Just thinking about you sweetheart and had the need to write and let you know that I still love you and miss you very much. Love You Very Much Aunt Patti Patti Fink <patti_fink@yahoo.com> Urbana, usa - Hi.. this site is great. My hairstylist, Carol Ann, told me to come here and gave me a card with her picture. We never got the chance to meet alicia but it seemed like she was and still is very loved.On this website, i really got the feeling she was with me reading it. I got to know alicia and the struggle of 9/11 all due to this website. Im very sorry for what happened, but i know shes in a better place. Signed with love, Tiffany and Kaylie Kaylie and Tiffany Ott <Hyprhottie2002@aol.com> Camarillo, USA - I did not have a chance to meet Alicia, I am a good friend of her cousin Xandie. God bless Alicia and her family and friends. I wish I would have had a chance to meeet her, she seems like a nice young lady. Now she is an angel living happily in Heaven. lauren stall <lauren_playa26@hotmail.com> belle center, u.s.a - It's Christmas, your favorite time of the year. The tree is up, Shanoa and Logan, Zac and Lana, and Eli are all home, but you're still missing! We decorated the tree and dad helped wrap presents this year, we had mimosa's, but you're still missing! We took a family ski trip and everybody had a fun time, but you were still missing. It will never be the same without you in our lives no matter how hard we try to get on with life, no matter how hard we try to feel the joy of the season, you are still missing! Since 9/11 I have been trying to figure out how to live my "new life". Without you, my heart just keeps on aching no matter what I try. You came into my life at a time when I was completely lost and feeling useless. You gave my life purpose which gave me hope for a better tomorrow, a better world. You graced my life with your presence, your joy and your loving smile. Your life wrapped mine like a warm fire on a cold winter's night. I had relaxed into a life with you always in it, but now you are missing! I have seen your loving face smiling upon us these last few days and I know you are with us and that your spirit will live on always, always, but you're still missing! Reality BITES...with such a grip, such a strong hold at times it feels easier to just dissolve than to fight my way back, and then I think of you. I think of your life and your struggle, constantly searching for answers, looking for more options, exploring new ideas and new directions. I remember your passion for living and your determination to always, always find a better way to live that would bring you hope for a better world and give you a sense of peace in your everyday living. I will always always remember the joyful sound that your life has played upon my heartstrings!! Even though you are still missing, I will live my life following your example, I will continue to tell myself the things that I need to hear and do the things that I need to do so that when I feel like giving up, I will just hop back up, dust myself off and get back into battle, in a peaceful way. I love you my Lish and I love the way you chose to live your life, and I am so honored to have been able to help bring you into this world, mothering you as a child, and continuing to love and nurture you as an adult. I am also blessed to have received the same love and nurturing from you. You had such an incredible way of making everybody in your life feel so special, so important, so loved. I see the outpour of love since 9/11 and realize your are still making the same impact even though your still missing. I love you my sweetheart with all that I am!!!! Always, Always... Mom Beverly J. Titus <titus@chartermi.net> Dexter, United States - Merry Christmas to Alicia's family and friends! The holidays are a joyous time,,but when you lose someone you love,,it makes the holidays sad,no matter how long it has been since that person has 'crossed over".Everyone who lost a loved one,or a close friend on 9/11/01 are in my thoughts and prayers always! God Bless Dan Dames <DDannyUSAF@AOL.COM> Parma Heights , Cuyahoga - As we approach Christmas with all of its wonder, joy, peace and love, I am reminded of Alicia as a child. She would get so excited, staying up all night for an opportunity to sneak a peak at the gifts under the tree. It wasn't so much the gifts as it was her own joyousness amplified. The excitement of feeling all the love in its purest form surrounded with such innocence and sense of peace was so much a part of her spirit. For Alicia, everday was Christmas. When you think about all the good things that Christmas inspires, the birth of the Christ spirit within us, the rekindling of divine love within our souls, the joyousness of life in its fullest, and renewed hope for peace, Alicia lived each moment of each day. Let us strive to grow these feelings within each of us and the effects will be felt beyond our physical bounds, beyond the political agendas, beyond the limitations of the finite mind. Hope runs eternal. I miss you my dear sweet Alicia. Dad John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, Mi USA - Our sympathy to the Titus family. When we lived in Rushsylvania we knew her grandparents and other family members and we were saddened for their loss. Jim & Claudia Goodwin <goodva@rbnet.com> Daleville, USA - Dear family and friends of Alicia, I never met Alicia, but having gone to college in southwestern Ohio (Wilmington), and having been raised as a Quaker, I have an appreciation for the wonderful area of the country that she grew up in, and for her peaceful perspective on world events. But I feel linked to Alicia for another reason. I live in Hoboken, New Jersey, and work for a publishing company in New York City. I was there that day, and I saw it happen. And since then I've tried to come to terms with what I saw and experienced, by learning about the good people whose lives I saw compromised that day, including Alicia's. This Web site is a wonderful tribute to a remarkable woman. Reading what you've written, I feel as if I've actually come to know Alicia: How fearless she was. How spontaneous and creative she could be. How she'd always push the envelope, seeking new challenges and experiences. How she could sit with you in a crowded restaurant and make you feel like you were the most important person in the world. How she never lost her ability to see the world like a little kid. What an amazing person! And what an amazing group of family and friends, to let the rest of us into her world, to allow us to draw strength and comfort from her example, through your love and devotion for her. In this holiday season, please know that you are not alone. Alicia will be remembered, her irrepressible childlike joy and enthuasism will be celebrated, by those of us who never knew her, but will never forget what you've told us about her. Please know, too, that all of you are in our thoughts here in New York, and that your steadfast devotion has been a balm for those of us who weren't far from her on that awful morning. THANK YOU for giving us the gift of knowing Alicia, and for sharing with us the goodness of her life. John Rounds <john.rounds@stmartins.com> New York, - My memory of Alicia as a freshman pledge at Miami is like a glimpse at an old movie; I was a senior and never got to know her well, but remember that open, smiling face of a pretty young girl. I looked up this site recently and was so entranced; just as she drew others in in Life, so she continues to do so in Spirit. I'm touched by what an amazing woman she grew up to be; there are many similarities in our outlook and experiences, and it was so interesting to read where Life's paths had already taken her. She has brought me inspiration, sadness, and even helped me - I just lost a close friend suddenly and Alicia's poems and parents' words have brought comfort to my other friend, the now grieving 31 year old widow. I thank Alicia for this. For living an inspired Life, and sharing her inspiration in Spirit. What an amazing woman. While more than 10 years have passed since I saw her last, I will never forget her, and will continue to visit this beautiful tribute to her. Many blessings to your family and friends Alicia, who love you so. Thank you for your smile, your words & thoughts, and your life-loving, inspired Spirit. Saskia Saskia <shofman@hotmail.com> Chicago, - For me to even try to create a fitting description of Alicia and her influence and impact on my life is undescribeable and unsurmountable. But, I can still remember the first day I met her in Mr. Reed's seventh grade pe-algebra class. Sitting with elbow on desk and palm on forehead, with her spunky little attitude and bold intelligence ready for a challenge. I also remember the last time I saw her, which did not end the way I would have ever dreamed it could. We visited each other many times over the years after high school- college, graduations, reunions, etc. She was always the friend I thought of first when I thought of home. A place we'd both been away from for a long time. Our friendship first developed in that pre-algebra class and blossomed into "best buds"- the phrase we used to write each other in our corny notes, year-books and post graduation letters. I'll never forget her ability to make people connect and her raw talent for mastering nearly any novel task she attempted. And her voice. There are so many flashbacks I have of her and us and our crazy times. She was always the brave one of the two of us. She had a million friends all over the world by the time we were in our mid and later twenties, but she always made me feel like her best friend. She was the only person in the world who could get me to do what to me felt like a dare-devil stunt, but to her was only a nightly thrill, such as sneaking into a hotel in downtown Chicago and going skinny dipping, as we did the last time we met and riding home in a cab at 5 in the morning with the windows down to try to dry our hair. I truly miss being able to look forward to the anticipation of going out with Licia (Lish). We would call each other several times prior and tell each other to bring such and such and swap clothes. Even at age 27- our last rendevous as best buds- we took hours to get ready. she looked stunning. I wore her hot pink paisley strapless dress and heels, she in my leather mini skirt, and we hit the town. I envy her courage to this day. No one I know or I doubt will ever know, could topple it. Alicia continuously amazed me, as I am musically challenged to say the least, to know the words to every song on the radio. I always sang the wrong words and for some reason, she never corrected me- she just let me be me and sing the wrong words. Her innocent talent- to let people be themselves and love them for it. As the holidays approach I am once again faced with missing my once best friend, who was loyal to me no matter in which state I lived, or which boyfriend I had, or which school I attended. I'm selfishly sad because we can't count on Alicia to bring us together any longer. When we'll all be home for the holidays, typically she would have gathered us for fun nights of going out. I doubt the traditions will live on without her, but I know she will live on within us. I'd give almost anything just to talk to her one more time, but tomorrow never comes. Nikki Bishop-Kallmeyer <kpkdds@21stcentury.net> St.Paris/Chicago, USA - I've been asked what it was about Alicia I most liked. It really is hard to say. As my mind wanders, I think of her radiant smile. Her fearless spirit. Her laughter. Her playfulness. Her elegance. Her gracefulness. How she strived to live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of everyday life. Her voice. How she laughed in her sleep. The way she made me feel when I saw her enter a room. Her hands. Her feet. Her stomach. Her face. Her arms. Her ears. Her hair. Her neckline. How my heart felt safe in her presence. How my body felt content in her arms. Her lips. Her kiss. Her touch. The way her eyes lit up when she talked about her little nephew. Imagine looking at the most perfect and beautiful rose your eyes had ever seen and being asked what about the rose you liked most. It's everything. It's the entire rose. Everything about her is what I liked. Everything about her is what I loved. Greg Ernst <gregory_ernst@yahoo.com> San Francisco, CA - Alicia, Tamara, Brian, Omar and I were heading back to our car after an evening of dancing under a gorgeous moon when we all stopped to look at the lake for a precious moment. Just then the frogs serenaded us with their song that crescendoed until it overwhelmed us with emotion. Their song was as loud and powerful as the equipment that had been set up for the DJs that evening. When the next group of folks walked by, the frogs stopped the song and we looked at each other and smiled, knowing that that dear moment had been created for us five. I cherish Alicia through this memory. Her connection to her friends, to this planet and its entire people will never cease as long as someone out there remembers to stop to smell a flower or stops to listen to the song of some exceptional frogs. We love you Alicia!!! Nellie Leyderman <leyderman@yahoo.com> San Francisco, USA - The holidays are almost here, but yet this year I cannot get into the spirit. Last year I dealt with the loss better than I am this year, I guess because sometimes Lish wasn't always able to make it. But these past 6 months of my life have been extremely rough on me and I feel the need of her presence so desperately. I could always count on Lish. When we were younger we were more sisters than aunt and neice. Any problem she had she always brought it to me--now when I need her I feel very angry and confused that she was taken from me. I only wish the whole world could have known her so they could understand our lose and extreme pain. If there are anyone out there that has went through the same or similiar circumstance my heart and prayers are with you. I miss you so much Lish. ALL MY HEART & SOUL, AUNT NAN Nancy Birt <birt13nan2002@yahoo.com> Urbana, U.S.A - My dear sweet Alicia, I miss you so very, very much. The times that we spent together meant so much to me. Not only were you my granddaughter, but also a special friend that I could talk to. You will always be in my heart, you will never be forgotten. All my love, Grandma Delaney Elizabeth Delaney Urbana, U.S.A - I didn't know Alicia but living in Springfield she brought the tragedy home. I feel so sad for the tremendous loss of such a beautiful young lady. It sickens me how senseless the cowardly act was. She is surly an angel in heaven. As for her spineless killers welcome to hell. Dale Springfield , - It's been over a year since your "spiritual birthday" (as your dad calls it), Lish, but in many ways I feel your presence stronger now than I did when you were physically here on Earth. You make me laugh, you bring me joy, and I want to thank you for the astral visits we take in my "dreams" to Paris and places we loved. Tears of joy stream down my face when I read of all the tributes to you on this website; see what an influence you've been!!! And of course, that you will continue to be...if there is any sense to this tragedy, it's that you have motivated us humans to be better than we would've otherwise. Thank You, sweet Alicia. From your favorite aunt Jana, still blessed to have known and loved you!! Jana L. Walker <janabanana717@hotmail.com> Rushsylvania, U.S.A. - Alicia there are days that go by i just cant stop thinking about you and everyday i think of one more reason you were such an inspiration to me. i miss you dearly and god bless your family. love you lots friends forever. anna ANNA SIZEMORE-CLEMANS <AMClemans@twcwoh.com> Springfield, USA - I have not been privileged to meet Alicia, I am a flying partner of her Aunt Jodie's with US Airways. What a loving tribute to a beautiful young lady. As a flight member we feel like we are part of one big family, every loss is taken very hard. I saw first hand the pain in her aunt's face as we met in the crew room. My heart goes out to all Alicia's family and friends. Vivian Rozane <VRozane@aol.com> Ellicott City, USA - Alicia, Greg, and Tamara crossed the Bay Bridge one great night to check out a party. Tam & Alicia seemed like two peas in a pod! A glowing impression she made, magnified through knowing Tamara ... and witnessing how they enjoyed each other. Then I met Alicia's mother Beverly in San Francisco, and was drawn to her so overwhelmingly!! I feel and understand Alicia's heart and soul mostly through Tamara and Beverly, and I like everyone else ... could not have ever spent enough time with her! Dearest Alicia, you are everything this world has ever wanted! keeping your essence close to our hearts and tangled into our spirits, will forever raise our consciousness!! love, jason Jason LeMonier <jasonlemoney@yahoo.com> Sacramento, - Every morning as i left for work to teach cabin defense classes to United's San Francisco flight attendants this past spring, I invited my heroic flying partners from 9/11 to come along. I reminded them that their work was not done, that they continued to be a force for good by their spirit and example and that quite frankly, I needed them. They were there every day. Thank you, my angels... xo,sandy 51038 sandy mamere <mame180@aol.com> clackamas, usa - it has been a little over a year now that lish has been gone, she is still with each of us though her own little way. Aunt Bev i love you so much just hang in there, Lish is watching over you, I love you Eli, Shannoa, Zach and ungle john and aunt bev, my thoughts are with each of you. I LOVE YOU LISH!!!!! you are greatly missed, you will NEVER be forgotten. Brittany Williams <partgirl_221@hotmial.com> St.paris, - What a beautiful tribute by her friends and family. I had one college friend, and another college acquaintance on Alicia's flight. It is comforting to know they were all together and not surprising. I believe they were all comforting each other in those last final moments, and that they are now in heaven where we will all be reunited when our time has com. D.M.C. New York, USA - I did not personally know Alicia or her family. I am a student at the college where her father works. I attended the memorial service held on the one year anniversary of September 11th. I sat there and listened to the poem her father had written about Alicia, it was so beautiful. We had a candle lighting in memory of Alicia and the other victims. Looking around the room, I could tell by the tears in everyone's eyes that Alicia had touched everyone's heart. I can't imagine the pain and anger the family of Alicia must have. I know Alicia is looking upon you and her spirit will help you through anything. May God Bless Alicia and her family. Kimmy <KimAngel02xox@aol.com> Livonia, USA - Dear Z: Thank you for sharing Alicia's life, to remind us of the sanctity of life. To never take the love around us for granted. Today I intend to experience the joy of life through the eyes of my daughters at Lion Country Safari. Paul Abbott <specialmarkets@aol.com> Miami, USA - This past Sunday I went to an event sponsored by the Cranbrook Peace Foundation. US House of Representative Dennis Kucinich spoke to a full house with conviction and compassion about "Making War Archaic" and about striving for peaceful solutions instead of war. It was incredible! He definately operates at a higher consciousness level than most. He dedicated his presentation to none other than our Alicia. It helped my heart tremendously. Along with Mr. Kucinich were other wonderful souls, Marianne Williamson, Bishop Tom Gumbleton and others. This is what our Sweet Alicia was about. This is her legacy that she left behind. Please, in the name of all that is good and all that is true, take a stand for a world in which we find ways to help, to heal, to share joy, to love and feel peace. God be with us all. John Titus, Alicia's father. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - I only knew Alicia for a (too) short while, through Lyndsey and Greg. What I choose to remember about her is that DYNAMITE smile. I mean a smile that could flatten any man into the pavement, stop a train, cause car wrecks and generally shine a beacon of light, hope, happiness, positivity and genuine friendliness on whomever was lucky enough to get struck by one of 'em. It is the smile by which I will judge all other smiles; and I will forever try to smile at the ones I love like that. Peace and Love, John John Hopp <hopphopper@aol.com> San Francisco, USA - I never knew Alicia but i learned alot about her through my teacher Mrs. Ward. She was so upset about this tradegy as so were many and i feel for them. This tradegy kinda hit close to home my aunt ws a friend to a Alicia and she dearly misses her and i have learned from her also. I will also never forget the day that i ws int he hall helping Mrs. Ward decorate a little memorial to Alicia and she turned to me and said that i reminded her of Alicia in my spirit and how i treated my friends and family and how i tried to be part of everthing and tried to make eveeyone always smile because i can't stand it when someone is down. I will also never forget the day that i let balloons go with friends and said prayers in front of our school one year later. I also just want to say that i am her for the family even though they don't know me. God Bless The USA Casie Jenkins <wrestlergurl134@hotmail.com> St. Paris, USA - This is the first person I really ever heard of passing away in this terrible tragedy. I love her poem. I can tell she must have been an extremely smart person. I just want you to remember..she was a very special person and she was welcomed with open arms from God and angels. Elaine <sporty_angel2000@hotmail.com> Up North, USA - Alicia is the first persons name i've heard that was on the september 11th flights, knowing that someone had a loving family and such a great life, means so much more than knowing just the date on which these incidents occurred..... somethings you can never forget, the pains will never completly vanish, but every day you may realise that Alicia is stillthere in spirit, not as a spirit but as a memory john neskudla <johny_nes2000@hotmail.com> jakarta, indonesia - I'm sorry to hear your loss of a very wonderfull person, I know how hard it is to overcome as I have lossed people I love aswell. Mat <revd_07@hotmail.com> Perth, Australia - I am a United Flight Attendent and although I never met her personally I feel as if I know her spriit after meeting Lyndsey Cronk. All Flight Attendants say to themselves it could have been me on September 11 and we feel guilty and relieved at the same time. On September 11th my phone and e-mail were busy with family and friends calling to check on me. Later as I stood in front of the Memorial in Boston in-flight and at the other United in-flight Memorials to our fllying partners I memorized their faces and names. My heart goes out to Alicia and all the others who lost their lives and their family and friends who couldn't sigh in relief but experience heartfelt sorrow when they could no longer reach their loved ones. Your spirit shines on Sweet Alicia. Carol <ACAROL268@aol.com> Los Angeles, USA - I was blessed enough to be a part of the Delaney/Titus family as a child (Alicias Aunt Patty was married to my Dad) I lost contact with the family after their divorce but I have alot of wonderful memories ,one was going to Uncle John and Aunt Bevs in St Paris I always had a great time there,I remember it as a happy place filled with love it is no wonder that Alicia grew up to be such a beautiful loving person Thanks for the memories you are all in my prayers I Love You !!!! Kim Kimberly VanDyne Bishop <twtybyrd67@aol.com> Phoenix, USA - Alicia, You are the guest of honor my friend. A party thrown to celebrate your sparkling, radiant spirit. There are so many that love and miss you. I had a dream of a calm night on a serene lake. You came to remind me that you are still here. I hold the sound of your laughter and warmth of your hugs close and I know. I danced and played in the desert and I knew you were near, I swam with the dolphins and knew you were near, and every now and then I do yoga and see an orange flower unfolding and I know you are gently reminding me that you are still here. I try my sweet and lovely hula goddess to always remember you with a smile. Although my heart may break into thousands of pieces I know that the best tribute that we can do is to carry your vivacious spirit and love of life with joy in our hearts and a dance in our steps. I am blessed to have known you. Keep on glowing girl!

There is a line from Les Miserables "There is a pain that can't be spoken; and the grief goes on and on" Gail Lirette <bruinhilda@yahoo.com> USA - On Wednesday, September 11, 2002 I was honored to wear the name badge of Alicia Titus at a performance of the Mozart Requiem at Christ Church in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. This concert was part of the Rolling Requiem performed worldwide. This concert was performed by the DeHaven Chorale and the Christ Church Chorale along with orchestra under the direction of Fred DeHaven. All of the participants volunteered their time to make this a wonderful and moving experience. As I was flipping through the channels that evening I heard the name Titus on Channel 4 in Detroit. It of course caused me to pause and listen and then I heard them mention Alicia and knew that this was the person whose badge I had worn. I was overwhelmed. I wish that I had heard the entire segment but eventually found this wonderful web site through the WDIV page. It is obvious that Alicia was a beautiful and wonderful person. I'm sure I would like to have known her. It seems that she brought much joy to many people. Mary Ann Sincock <sincocm@mail.resa.net> Trenton, USA - Alicia, now that you are an angel, I ask that you watch over us as we continue to remember all the memories and stories of you and the thousands of others we lost on 9/11. Your works will never be forgotten. You had such a positve influence on the individuals you came across. I pray to God that more people, including myself, can take life and turn it into something sooooo beautiful, just like you did. You will always be ONE OF A KIND. With lots of Love Abby Abby S. <abs_1002@yahoo.com> Urbana/Columbus, USA - I just happen to be walking on my lunch hour in a local downtown mall in Miami, Florida and my eye caught this pretty face on a flyer.

My heart goes out to everyone she was close to. She will always be remembered. Alyssa San Francisco, USA - I never personally knew Alicia, but I went to school with her (Graham High School).

God Bless You Lauren <shugurplum@aol.com> U.S.A - I had the pleasure of being friends with Alicia in High School. The day I heard that God had received a new angel it was devastating. So many memories ran through my mind. The fondest memory of Alicia was her Sweet Charity days. I remember her telling me right before the curtain opened on opening night that she was so nervous. She was afraid that her voice was going to crack and she would miss her line. As always, Alicia came through with flying colors... To you her family.. my deepest sympathy and prayers go to you. God bless you... Ruthie Clark (Zerkle) <p8nzmom@prodigy.net> West Fargo, usa - I never knew Alicia but i was friends with Eli.

Stephanie Johnson <monides@earthlink.net> San Francisco, USA - God Bless you, Alicia. I am so sorry that this happened. Anonymous Cincinnati, USA - I knew Lish from Almont Summer School. In fact for a few years I had the honor of being her and her siblings sponsor. They were the best. I always think of how we would sit on the back steps of the big girls dorm with Missy and talk about everything. Mostly boys, amd how could we sneak into their dorm? I know that we made it a few times and didn't get caught. Her smile id with me everyday. Her spirit is with me every hour. Her determination helps me every minute. Her love fills me every second. I thank God for sending us the angel, and thank him, too, for taking her to watch us all at every moment. As good as she was, Lish couldn't be every where at once. Now she can. I miss you. John, Bev, Shanoa, Zac, and Eli hear my prayers. Love, and God Bless, Charly. Charly Tishma <cktishmarosa@msn.com> st. louis, usa - THE TRAGETIES OF 9/11 were devastating, but then I found out that a former gradeschool classmate of mine had been a flight attendant on one of the planes. This has been a connection to the tragedies that I would rather not have had. Although it has been over 7 years since the last I met up with Alicia at a party, I feel a void knowing that she is now an angel. It had been years since we went to school together at St. Mary's, but whenever we would see each other it would be just like we were young kids chatting about our everyday happenings. Alicia and I seemed to run into each other every few years and that was just enough time to catch up. I am thankful that we were able to keep in touch when we did. alicia was a great person and I am thankful to have known her. former classmate St. Mary's Urbana, Ohio Joanna (Haas) Henry <joanna24@charter.net> Lakeview, OHIO USA - I didn't know Alicia but I had a chance to meet her boyfriend and best friend at a memorial outside our apartment building. Learning more about her made me realize just how special of a person she really was. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. Craig <craigcpatterson@yahoo.com> SF, USA - I never knew Alicia or any of the other people that died on that tragic day, but I think a small part of us all died that day. We made heroes that day, and we lost heroes that day. Those people sacrificed themselves for us, and I hope each one of us carries that thought with us everyday. We should try our very best to make them proud, and live each day to the fullest. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of all the victims of that day. Jill Fischer <baitcaster@ctcn.net> Urbana, USA - On occasion I look up victims of the 9/11 tragedy in order to honor and remember and appreciate.? In this capacity, I came across the wonderful web site you have dedicated to your friend and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it and to note what a fantastic legacy Alicia left in the few the years she lived on this Earth.?I am the mother of 3 and tell my kids that quality of life is more important than quantity.?In this regard, Alicia was a phenomenal success.?Thanks for channeling your grief into the beautiful commemoration.? God bless. Rebecca Matchette <becinc@telocity.com> - Because of the ultimate sacrifice that Alicia and others gave, I am proud to be able to call myself her flying partner.

What a beautiful website to a beautiful person. I would only hope to do what half of Alicia did in her life. I know now I feel inspired by her life. May God bless her family and friends and you are in my prayers. Angela Grice <angela_white1977@hotmail.com> Mesa, - Heaven has gained another angel. Alicia is resting in the busom of Jesus.

Jean-Nette Griffin <hotgurl_frompiqua2003@yahoo.com> Piqua, USA - I linked to this website through an article in the newspaper-I have to admit, curiousity got the best of me. I did not know Alicia, nor do I know any of her family and friends, but, I am truly touched by the lovely, tender and heartfelt words that are written here...other than feeling the pain from the tragic events of 9/11 as a fellow American, I personally did not lose a loved one. When I try to express the sadness I feel for your loss, words elude me.

Joyce Joyce Galindo <jgalindo@schoolcraft.cc.mi.us> Livonia, USA - I worked with Alicia's aunt Brenda. I had the terrible job of handing the phone to her aunt Brenda that would deliver the news of Alicia's departure from earth. I never knew Alicia but Brenda told me how nice and sweet she was. I am saddened that I will never know this beautiful, bright young woman. I think of her everytime Sept. 11th is mentioned and still cry when I see those horrible pictures. It seems that Alicia really wanted to help others. In honor of her, I am signing up to become a regular blood donor. I have decided to give the gift of life in honor of the way she lived her life. My thoughts and prayers are with Alicia's family. I pray that each day brings just a little more healing. God bless you all. Vanessa <alyari1972@aol.com > Dayton , USA - I did not know Alicia, but I'm sure she was a wonderful person. My prayers go to all who knew and miss her. I can't imagine the loss you must feel, I didn't even know her and I feel a terrible loss. Patty Baadalamente <pbadalamente2002@yahoo.com> Harrison twp, USA - I dont usually watch the news but tonight for some reason i did. i turned the tv on earlier and saw all the memorials and tributes and just wanted to cry, so i told myself i wasnt gonna watch any of them today. Well i ended up watching the news tonight and there was a lil segment on alicia. I was drawn to it not sure why but i went to the website and read about her and read the poems she wrote. I dont know alicia but reading about her and knowing she was taken from her family and friends and she was such a wonderful person i cried. I'm sorry she was taken away from the world but i believe she is in a better place and very happy. i know she is looking down on all her loved ones. So in days when u are really missing her or thinking about her just talk out loud to her i am sure she is listening :-) I wish all the best for her family and friends and may God Bless all of you. Just remember all the good times you had when she was here .

Your Canadian friends.(HUGS) Hogemann Family Canada Allen&Janet Hogemann &Family <adamantor@shaw.ca> Moose Jaw, Canada - what a wonderful web site for such an extraordinary person (i never met). my thoughts are with you always! Greg Ruvolo <greg@hyperpoint.net> roseville, usa - Alicia and I were colleagues and very close friends in 1998 in Menlo Park. Her constant smile, and twinkling eyes brightened the lives of those around her. She was bright, energetic, confident and attractive. She was also caring, gentle and could be demure and even vulnerable at times. In short, a fantastic human being. Alicia and I used to go running in the green hills along Skyline Blvd. above Los Altos Hills. We'd explore every trail and climb every rock, and she was never afraid or tired. One day we decided to run to the top of a mountain, where we were sure we would see the ocean and Half Moon Bay. We had to cross through a private ranch with bulls, but she didn't hesistate, in fact, you could see that she thrived on the adventure. We made it to the top of that mountain, and sat side by side for a long while and talked frankly about life. Since then, I've never forgotton the period that Alicia graced my life, and what it felt like to hold her hand and look into her eyes. Ever since then, even in the past year, I still find myself doing double takes as I walk down the street, thinking I've just seen her walk by. You are well missed, A.N.T. Love, S.D.P.K. Sean Kelly <sk@cappellocorp.com> Santa Monica, USA - God Bless You and Your family. I love the site and it is so nice to know that a family would do this for a loved one in such a tragic time. Rani <ranimorton@hotmail.com> Capac , USA - Today is Septmeber 11th, 2002. One year after Alicia was taken so suddenly from this world. I did not know Alicia personally, but I wish I did. I know that she was a beautiful and inspiring person. September 11th was a big shock to everyone. It was something that no one ever thought about. I remember on September 12th, 2001 at the beginning of the school day we had a moment of silence and we were told that a Grahma Graduate had been on United Flight 175, the second plane to hit the WTC. When I heard that I didn't know what t think. Graham School District has been through a lot in the past 4 years, then we learn that a Graham graduate was killed in what I believe is the worst event to ever happen in history. I went to the dedication of the bench in our high school gym. It was so moving hearing everyone speak. It was amazing to see so many people from the community there. It was a beautiful dedication that I will never forget. But today, a year from 911 I believe I did the best thing I have done in my life so far and that I will ever do. At Graham High School at 9:03 am today the National Honor Socitety, Student Senate, and SMD had an awesome prayer led by two teachers, had a moment of silence, and we launched balloons in memory of Alicia. It was so beautiful and awesome to see them float in the air all together. I am a senior at GHS this year and I am always going to keep Alicia in my thoughts and try to lead my life the way she led hers. She has inspired me so much. She lived every day of her life to the fullest. Although I truly have no idea what you (her family ) are going through, I know that I wouldn't ever want to go through it. Alicia may be gone physically but she is still alive mentally and spiritually in so many people's minds. She will always live in mine. She is an angel watching down over so many people, protecting us from all harm. You are in my thoughts and prayers and always will be. God Bless. Lindsey Warner GHS Student Senate Lindsey Warner <bballfrick44@hotmail.com> Christiansburg, USA - Alicia I've never meet you But I've read about you, Your story touched my heart and I know your separate will lives on forever you have Angel wings now And I’m sure will meet in Heaven God Bless.. London, Ontario Canada... Chris <Cuttellc@sympatico.ca> London , Canada - The day this happened, i was speaking with my mailman and he mentioned he knew alicia. His son had dated her once. He had tears in his eyes as he was telling me about her. I saw her picture in the paper the next morning and I had tears in my eyes also. I'll bet she's even prettier as an angel! Sandy Abrams <sweetpeasandyj@yahoo.com> springfield, usa - I hope that you will stay strong through this tragict day! i am Katie's friend and she gave me this site. Alicia was so beatiful.

LoriAnne Wilson <missytomsaw2@aol.com> Warren, USA - I was reading the Greenville Daily Advocate Today, and came across the Article of Alicia, and I was very touched, and seen the website and thought I would come and visit it. I have read the letter, poems etc on the website and they all touch my heart. She seemed like a very wonderful person, and I'm so sorry about your loss. May god be with all of you, and get you through this time of grief!!! Robin Elifritz <a_real_QT_pie@excite.com> Union City, USA - .....and I hope that you are laughing up in heaven, because as you always got on people for doing, I spelled your name wrong - phonetically. Oh, Alicia, I haven't changed.... Karen Nicewander <kanicewander@woodlamping.com> Cincinnati, USA - What an amazing compilation of pictures and messages for such a wonderful and beautiful person. Alisha was a college roommate and sorority sister who touched my life in so many ways. I will never forgive myself for not keeping in touch with her after college. I still can't believe she is gone. As so many do, I have unspeakable grief about what happened to her. I can't even express my sorrow for Alisha's family. I stayed at Alisha's house in St. Paris a couple times and I was always amazed about how happy and kind everyone was. Alisha's family treated me so wonderfully - I truly know how Alisha developed into such a special person. I miss Alisha so much and her smile will never leave my mind. Karen Nicewander <kanicewander@woodlamping.com> Cincinnati, USA - GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. harriet j. perry <hperry@comcast.net> southfield, michigan united states - You don't have to know someone to know they created a void when they left this Earth. You don't have to feel someone to know they created texture and warmth while they were here. Those of us who didn't know Alicia know that her, like so many brought forth love, caring, laughter, and a twinkle like no others. It is through her passing and so many others, that we look again at ourselves to rediscover who we are and how we touch those around us. Talk to each other and learn how the goodness in all of us can be brought out, and become closer to all of our family, friends, co-workers, and those we simply walk by and smile at. Lawrence Acker <lawrenceacker@comcast.net> Huntington Woods, USA - May the Angels comfort you and take you to your dreams. Ron Gallagher <gallagher@enterpriseusa.com> Farmington, USA - I will never forget Alicia and the spirit that she had. As a good friend and classmate from Graham High School, I will never forget the Jr. High History Club trips that were made out west and to the D.C. area, the student council meetings, musicals or even the AP English classes that she and I were involved with. Even though, we went our separate ways after High School, I will always consider her one of my dearest friends. Funny, how we can be so far away but I do think about the good times that we had growing up in St. Paris and attending Graham. I wish her family the best and she will be missed dearly. Thinking of you often, Alicia. Beth Kite <bethk110@yahoo.com> Orlando, USA - words can not describe what shock it brought to the little town of St.Paris Ohio on Sept. 11 2001.. As i walked into my parents house, my mother and sister were in tears.. I expected tp hear that a relative or someone close to the family had past on, but to hear of someone that lived next to you for almost 15 years was even worse..Over the next few day my mom and sister made memorials and hung yellow ribbons across the town of St.Paris in rememberance of her life and what she stood for.. One thing tha always came to mind. was the huge tree that stood in front of the Titus house were eli and i often played and got into trouble.. But they hung this big picture of Alicia on the tree with ribbons and flowers.. Soon after that the neighborhood grasped on and made it our local memorial for her.. Bev, John, Zac, Shanoa, and Eli, u will always be remember and kept in our familys hearts, and their will always be a special place for the one that we lost..

I still remember my first day at CSFB and meeting Alicia. After hearing about Alicia being one of the vicitms of Sept 11, I kept picturing in my head the first time I met Alicia and being in awe of the fact that she was not only very beautiful but extremely sweet as well. Although I didn't know her well I do know that she was able to light up a room with her smile. My heart goes out to the Titus Family, her guy, and close friends. Throughout the past year you have constantly been in my thoughts and prayers. Tamar <tamar.porat@csfb.com> Palo Alto, - Its hard to believe that a beutiful child such as Alicia is no longer with us. Its been a year ago today, that I watched in horor as the events unfolded, not knowing at that time that someone that I knew was on that flight. To John and Bev, my prayers will be with you and you family always. God Bless The USA. Oakley T.

US Serviceman <None> Fairborn, USA - I wrote a poem this morning in memory of Lish. This poem was read at the Panasonic Memorial for 9-11 in honor of her. A Year has come and gone, Since the Tragedy of that day. A year has come and gone, Since so many loved ones went away. A year has come and gone, But the horror won’t be forgotten A year has come and gone, But we will always remember when. A year has come and gone, A year remembered in sorrowful plight. A year has come and gone, Since we saw through the rubble, a light. A year has come and gone, And God has heard our prayer A year has come and gone, Since this nation became aware. A year has come and gone, Since America came together. A year has come and gone, People united, shedding a tear. A year has come and gone, We will never forget the sorrow. A year has come and gone, As a nation we learned hope for tomorrow. A year has come and gone, Though it seems like an eternity. A year has come and gone, The timelessness brought about unity. A year has come and gone, A year that seemed forever. A year has come and gone, But we are now stronger, and sincere. A year has come and gone, God bless the ones we lost. A year has come and gone, We must always remember how much, the cost. In remembrance of Alicia Titus Died September 11, 2001, Flight 175 Debi Meadows <mead859@bellsouth.net> Atlanta, USA - Alcia was a beautiful soul who always had a glorious smile for everyone. I was grateful enough to have known Alicia in Highschool. She was a very outgoing and sweet person with such a beautiful attitude. I still can see her smile! Marsha Bumgardner <bumgardner@main-net.com> Urbana, USA - I received a link to Alicia's website this morning from a former coworker who knew her at Netcentives. Although I did not know her, when I read about her, and what a beautiful message she lived to carry, I know she was someone very special. Thanks for sharing her story. God Bless to her family and friends. She is with you every day. Jennifer SF, - It has now been a year since Lish graduated from being an "Angel-in-Training" and was awarded her Angel's Wings. She is sorely missed by her family, her 'guy', and her extended family and friends. The memories we all hold of her are of her love of life, the joy with which she celebrated each day, a laugh, a smile, a twinkle in her eyes and her total understanding of who she was and the wonder of her love of her fellow man, no matter what the situation. One of many memories is that of Lish, our daughter Missy and the other young people attending summer camp at Almont Retreat Center in Michigan. Even the trips to and from the camp were a lot of fun. Bev, John, Shanoa, Zac, Eli specifically, and the rest of the members of Lish's family know that we love, care and pray for them every day. Let us continue to celebrate Lish's life! Dick Sommer <baddaddydick738@yahoo.com> Urbana, USA - I didn't know Alicia but my heartfelt condolences go out to the Titus family. It is now 1 year later. The pain I feel in my heart for all the families of the victims of 911 has not diminished, not at all, and I don't know if it ever will. How do you explain to our children why this happened? You can't. Again, my deepest and sincerest condolences to you, the Titus Family. Andrea Sword <aps70@aol.com> Pembroke Pines, USA - Today is the 11th and it's the second worse day of my life. One year ago I lost someone very dear to my heart,Lish. It really sucks because she was one of the only people in my life that I've looked up to. To me she was way more than a cousin. She was a role model in more ways than one. She was so ambitious, caring, loving, and beautiful. It really just hit me a few days ago that she's not coming back. I guess I never rreally wanted to belive that her uplifting smile , charm and presense would never grace me or anyone ever agin. I know that she's in a better place with Grandpa and Aunt Debbie. Although life will never be the same with out her we'll go on remembering all of the great memories. And to the Delaney & Titus family I love you all very much. P.S. Happy Birthday Zacky!!!! Ruby Delaney <rubydelaney_21@hotmail.com> Urbana, USA - On behalf of All Urbana High students who knew Alicia, we all miss her! I can remember lots of times...chasing the boys...giggling! We hated to see Alicia move to Graham High School but we knew we'd still be friends. In remembering back to those days and even after graduation....she always had a "smile" on her face. That is how I will remember her "SMILING." When I heard about her being aboard Flight 175 and it hit the towers, my heart dropped.I thought about her family and my friends who knew her. The first peoson whose name popped in my head was "Bernie." It was such a shock I could't even talk to her at work. I just wanted to cry, and did. Now we know Alicia is among the ANGLES. To Jon and Bev...just know Alicia did "make a difference" and know that you are in our prayers. Kelly Maurice "Rosales" <kmaurice43078@yahoo.com> Mechanicsburg, USA - My deepest condolensces. Lisa Novom <lisanovom@hotmail.com> Washington, USA - just wanted to say,its been a year since Alicia went from being a beautiful lady to a beautiful angel.By reading the tributes from those who knew and loved her,I have become convinced that she lived her life to the fullest,and made everyone around her happy.Those who commited this dispicable act never knew,nor ever will know the kind of happiness and strong energy Alica generated.This day will always be painful for me,and at times I wish I was back in the Air Force,to fight terrorism.God Bless you Alicia,you,your family and freinds will always be in my heart Dan Dames <DDannyUSAF@AOL.COm> Parma Heights, United States - How wonderful it is to see Lish remembered in such a beautiful way. My mother and the Titus's were friends long before Alicia and I were born, and their friendships lasted to the end. Such wonderful inspiring people, It was no accident that they raised such wonderful children. If only the rest of the world could have such big warm hearts... if only. John and Bev know you are in my heart and mind everyday. OUR ANGELS WALK IN HEAVEN TOGETHER SMILING DOWN UPON US. I love you all very much. God Bless all you! Kellie O'Brien <kellieo_brien@hotmail.com> Urbana, USA - Today is a year. A year of sadness and missing Lish and all the people that died so tragically and senselessly. John and Bev, you and your family will be in my hearts and my thoughts today as we have a ceremony at the place of my employment where a tree is being planted in honor of all that were lost on 9-11, with Alicia being named personally. A time capsule is being buried at the base of a huge tree of the Corporate Office of Panasonic Matsushita in Secaucus NJ (you can see ground zero from the offices) and in there is a memorial graphic/poem that I placed inside it in honor of Alicia. God Rest Your Soul Alicia.. you were a wonderful person that is still making an impact on lives even in death. Such a wonderful tribute to you and to your parents that you could still impact so many lives. Bev and John..may God help you today to find peace and to know that the love that Lish had to give is still reaching people around the entire globe.. I know she is still touching MY heart. It is evident that you are wonderful parents to have had a daughter (and other children) of such caliber and obvious graciousness and compassion. You will be in my heart today in all that I do, as I remember Lish with love and with joy and sadness both... at the ceremony and in my life. Lish, in the brief time that I knew you..you touched my life drastically. Debi Meadows (Preston) (originally from Urbana, Ohio) Debi Meadows <mead859@bellsouth.net> Atlanta, USA - I worked with her at Netcentives (she was on my team) where I experienced her quiet tenacity, her desire to learn and explore, and the wonderful spirit that she brought to everyone around her. I have so many regrets that in the craziness of the business environment that I didn't spend some still moments to discover some of the things that I learned about her at her memorial service last year and on this site. She has tranformed for me how much I cherish all of the interactions I have with the people around me. My heart goes out to friends and family. Elliott Ng <elliottng@yahoo.com> San Francisco, USA - Thank you for including the "swinging" picture of Alicia on the home page. It may seem silly, since it is such a small part of the whole collection, but I feel blessed to know that it will be shared by so many, along with the other momentoes of love on this beautifully prepared memorial site. What wonderful friends Alicia has! Let her memory never fade away, as she will always live on in our hearts, minds, and spirits. May God shine down upon Alicia's family and friends and give them peace. All my love. Corina Fain <loncor@woh.rr.com> Urbana, - I found myself unable to sleep tonight. Tomorrow it will be a year that our beautiful Alicia was taken from us. I can't believe the time has gone so quickly. I miss her. I never got to see her as often as I would've liked to. I remember what her father,(uncle) John said; how she wouldn't want us to be angry, but I can't help hating those that took her from us so soon. She was the most wonderful, perfect, caring, and loving person this world could ever hold. I read everyone's entries, they are so beautiful and caring. She was loved by everyone she ever touched. As tears stream down my face, I am trying to think of what to say. Most of it as been said time and again.... She will be missed EVERY SINGLE DAY of our lives. When we wake in the morning, it will be so hard to face. My children, (Ryan & Bethany)and I, think of her often. We have purchased "special" candles that will only be lit for her. Tomorrow will start the first time.. we will say a prayer and unwillfully trot off to our lives and try to get through it the best we can. May god watch over us and prevent another loss of such innocent people. WE love you Lish and miss you so much. I know that somewhere up there you shine "bright" like a star. Please watch over Bethany, she needs a guardian angel like you. It may sound strange, but somehow I think you really are. You will never be forgotten. Dear Sweet Alicia-- We love you!!! To John, Bev, Shan, Zac, Lana, Logan, and Eli- you are in my heart and prayers every day. I love you all so dearly! Tammy Delaney (Ryan & Bethany) <Tami89@core.com> Springfield, U.S.A. - I didn't know Alicia, however, we shared a common bond. We were sisters. I learned about her death through other alumnae that I keep in touch with and was deeply saddened. I will wear my Delta Zeta Badge on September 11th, 2002 in honor of Alicia. In the flame, a DZ sister of Epsilon Delta Chapter. Wendy Scharf <dzmommy0315@hotmail.com> Holtsville, USA - May Miss SWEET ALICIA and all the passengers on that flight be on the arms of THE ALMIGHTY GOD.GOD bless you all her family, friends and THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Jose,Alba,Jose Jr , Cynthia F. <Estrelladeoro1@aol.com> Tampa, USA - I am truly sorry for your loss and hope that she is happy withen gods hands. May the pain be less for you to know that she has gone to a happier life. You will see her again one day. God bless. A friend U. S of A - to the family members of lish~~ when i first heard of the news of september 11 i was shocked. i couldn't believe that something like that would happen. but when i had heard that alicia had been on one of the planes, it reallyl hit home. i personally didn't know alicia but i went to the ceromonies they had at the basketball game with the dedication of the bench and that is when all my tears suddenly were tears of happiness that alicia had lived her life to the fullest and never looked back on a single moment. i look up to her greatly and she is someone that i will never forget. always remember that you are in my thoughts and prayers! abbie hanselman <yanksfan_4life@hotmail.com> christiansburg , USA - I have "met" Alicia thru her cousin, Stephanie Titus - we both work at Roosevelt Middle School. As a parent, I know your grief must be overwhelming at times. What a beautiful person she was - inside and out... My thoughts and prayers are with your family as the anniversary of Alicia's death nears. There Was A Time -- There was a time when meadow, grove and stream The earth, and every common sight To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light. The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore - Turn whereso'er I may. By night or day, The things which I have seen I now can see no more. The Rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the Rose; The Moon doth with delight Look around her when the heavens are bare; Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is a glorious birth; But yet I know, where'er I go That there has passed away a glory from the earth. --William Wordsworth Linda Bair <kd9k@erinet.com> Springfield, USA - I am also a United flight attendant and I am so moved by this website. I never had the pleasure of meeting Alicia but now I feel I have. It is Sept. 10 and I am lost here trying to figure out how to grieve, and then I come across this seeringly sad yet joyous celebration of a life. I'm so grateful that you have separated the beauty from your pain and in doing so, have enriched the lives of so many others...as I can see Alicia did in her too-short time on earth. Bless you and thank you. Deb Waltman Debbie Waltman <debwaltm@aol.com> ellington, usa - alicia i miss and love you. your in my thoughts and prayers everyday and i will never forget you and all those laughs we have had. i miss you anna anna sizemore-clemans <AMClemans@twcwoh.com> springfield, united state - As part of the national initiative called Unity in the Spirit of America (USA) projects, a local group representing the Dayton-Sprint Corporation, has chosen Alicia to honor in a special way. Throughout the year internal fundraisers are held. The monies are donated to needy families a week before Christmas to purchase food and toy for the children. A member of the employee committee knew of Alicia and her family ...so this project is designated to honor the "spirit" of Alicia. May her family know that this spirit will live on in the lives of the families who receive their "Christmas" in Alicia's name. God bless. (You can go to www.pointsoflight.org for info this and other USA projects honoring 9-11 victims) Cissy Seibel <cseibel@CNRohio.org> Dayton, USA - I did not know Alicia well, I came to share with her twice in her life. First time in January of 2001, we both were new to United, we sat in Dulles airport wondering about what it was to be a flight attendant. We shared hours of waiting for our next assignment together, a delayed plane, possibility of going illegal over our 14 hour duty day. We sat together reading our contract together trying to understand what it was to be a flight attendant the ins and outs of the position. I saw a young women who was dedicated to be the best she could be as a flight attendant. We shared those moments together that day. We worked together side by side during our flight, we did a first together as a flight attendant. Sharing that time with Alicia gave me a bond with her. We later shared that bond again during a brief passing in our Denver domicile, as we tried to remember where and when we saw each other, what we did together (as a flight attendant, you always remember a face) we recalled, smiled, we hugged and when on to our next flight. The day this tragedy happened, a piece of me died, not being able to share a moment with a Alicia like we had in the past again. But, what will always be with me are the moments that we did have and the common bond of being a flight attendant together. She was a special young lady and touched me deeply. Karen Tighe UAL - JFK Karen Tighe <KTSkyAngel2003@aol.com> North Plainfield, usa - I just wanted to say that alicia will always be in our hearts and you have to rememeber her in the good ways. Im praying for you and your family and god bless you's! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Alisha Thorp <oxcarebear722xo@aol.com> Mantua, USA - To Alicia's family and all who were close to her, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Alicia's beautiful spirit is as strong as ever and is touching as many people's lives as ever. I know she is so proud of you. Lauren Yohey <just_lauren@hotmail.com> Columbus, USA - It's almost been a year when evil took away our precious Alicia. Somedays all I do is cry for her and the fact that I miss her so very much. All those innocent lives were taken and for what reason? Who gained what and why? I know what all those other families are feeling and I know that I shouldn't be angry, but I am. No matter what happens in the future we can't stop this from happening again. The government hides fact from us and yet it expects us to understand and trust--my real thoughts are the the cast of West Wing run the White House better than Bush does. I want to thank everyone's support and kindness. GOD BLESS ALL. Nancy Birt <birt13nan2002@yahoo.com> St. Paris, U.S.A. - I have seen the beauty of Alicia's life reflected in my brother, Greg Ernst. I did not have the privledge of knowing Alicia and grieve that I did not get to meet someone so special to my brother. I think of her often and reflect on how her beautiful life has touched so many that did not even know her personally. My daughters (Greg's nieces) age 6 and 10 have experienced the beauty of her life as they watched the sun set over the Washington Coast this summer with Uncle Greg. As we watched the stars in the sky, I couldn't help but think of how proud Alicia would be of Greg and how he is handling this very difficult time in his life. I pray that all of Alicia's friends and family feel the love, comfort and peace from the prayers of so many around the world. Our church family in San Antonio Texas has prayed for your family and will continue to lift you up in prayer. On September 8th we are holding a special service in which each family will receive the name of someone who died in the 9-11 attack. That family will pray for the victims family and friends on September 8th, at special services of rememberance on the 11th and continue to pray for you throughout the year. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to all who loved Alicia, and as my daughters pray, please help heal Uncle Greg's and the Titus families hearts. You will always be in our prayers. Becky DeVore Becky DeVore <jbdevore@swbell.net> SanAntonio, USA - alicia flies with me... to the friends and family lucky enough to have known her in life, my name is jamie and i have wanted to fly for years. i wanted to finish college first and i had a family obligation that had me committed till december '01, so i waited. when that horrible day happened i figured my dreams were dashed. i spent the days afterward scanning the faces and names for the crews. i felt bad for everyone, i have a number of firefighters in my family, but i was looking for those that thanklessly fly the unfriendly skies. suprisingly i found an ad looking for flight attendants in october, and january 2002 i became a flight attendant. i never forgot about those that flew their last flight, and i wanted to remember one in a more personal way. so i looked up the lists of the crew members trying to find one that i could relate to. i first chose alicia because of her young age, and the fact that "alicia" was one of my nicknames in high school, due to my favorite actress alicia silverstone. after i read all of the wonderful things that her loved ones wrote about her, i found some other things we had in common. like that she liked to write, was athletic, and wanted to join the peace corp someday, and some things that i greatly admire, like her spunky spirit and willingness to help anybody, especially her family. i really wish i had known her in life, but i wanted you to know, even though i didn't, she will be remembered. thankyou for sharing your joy of having had her, and your great sorrow of losing her. i have had a bracelet made that i wear with me everytime i fly. the heart shaped charm reads alicia titus 6-11-73 9-11-01 united flt 175. i think of all the wonderful things you have shared about her everytime i sit on my jumpseat for take off and landing, and call on her for strength when i ever get the slightest bit afraid of flying, or any other crazyness life throws my way. i like to think i have a special guardian angel of flight. thank you again for sharing her with me. -jamie jamie elizabeth marzig <tangie78@aol.com> cincinnati, usa - I was lucky enough to have met Alicia several years ago when we worked together in Menlo Park and have shared many great moments with her. From our chats to our Easter champagne brunch atop the Hyatt she was always so much fun to be around. How could you beat that beautiful smile and even more beautiful spirit? She is one in a million and will never be forgotten. You are missed Alicia, Linda Linda Lazarus <lindalaz@yahoo.com> San Francisco, - I knew Alicia slightly from when she was attending college and working in the Urbana, Ohio cable office as a CSR. My husband, Lyndel Navarro, was the manager there, and occasionally I would stop by to see him. Alicia was always smiling, always laughing, always a joy to be around. I remember asking my husband, "Who is that delightful young lady?" She made quite an impression on the both of us in the short time we knew her. Her brother Zach also was friends with my daughter, Alissa Navarro, who attended Graham High School with him. We were stunned and heartbroken when we learned from friends who live in the Urbana/St. Paris, Ohio area that Alicia was amoung those lost on September 11th. But for those who loved her, her friends and family, please know that there are those of us out there that love and mourn her too, even though we weren't as close to her as you. She was a brilliant light that will never be extinguished. We miss you Alicia.---Tammy and Lyndel Navarro & family Tammy Navarro <babetho@aol.com> Denver, USA - I am the Director of the regional Volunteer Center. I wanted to let you know that employees of the Catholic Social Service of Miami Valley are honoring Alicia in a very special way. We know from family members that Alicia shared a passion for walks that helped health-related organizations with disease research and prevention. On October 12, employees will honor Alicia by walking in the Alzheimer Walk in Sidney. And, Dayton employees will do the same (in Alicia's memory), October 19, at the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Dayton. These projects to honor the "spirit" of Alicia will be registered on the Unity in the Spirit of America (USA) project site at www.usa.pointsoflight.org For information contact Cathy Guerrant, Catholic Social Services of Miami Valley at guerrantc@cssmv.org or Cissy Seibel, Director, Volunteer Center/CNR at cseibel@CNRohio.org. May Alicia's spirit shine on all who love and cherish her memory. Cissy Seibel <cseibel@CNRohio.org> Dayton, USA - As we approach the anniversary of that crushing day in September, may we be encouraged by Alicia and her strong, loving family to savor our days together in family and friendships. Their sharing of their love and loss is a tribute to their beautiful Alicia. Love to all the Titus family. Marjie and Bob Leas <mrleas@infi.net> Fort Wayne, USA - I didn't know Alicia personally and i didn't know any of her relatives but i was at "Ground Zero" the other day and i was Looking at all of the stuff that family members put on the church fence across form "Ground Zero" and i saw this one flyer that said something like "Alicia you will be missed" and at the bottom of one of the pictures on that flyer said "www.sweetalicia." but it dint give the last three letters so I wanted to find out more about this person and what kind of life she lived so I wrote the web address down not even knowing the last three letters and felt like I had to find this web site. So the end of the story is that I did find the web site and now I think I feel somewhat of what a relative, family member or friend to someone who died on that tragic day feels like. I think that's all I have to say. Latah Alex K. <Extremesoxfan@aol.com> US - I know of Alicia through her dad, John, who I had worked with briefly via the phone at our perspective colleges. I did not meet John in person until I sat with him at a conference in Nov. 2001 and mutual friend told me that he had lost Alicia on Sept. 11. I noticed that he had gold wings on his lapel and thought what a special father he must be to honor his daughter like that. After visiting this website, I can see what kindred spirits John, Alicia and the entire Titus family were. I pray that God gives you the strength to carry on through life and smile when Alicia comes to mind. She sounds like she was an extraordinary person and I'm sorry that I never had the chance to meet her in this life. God bless you! Kasi Loftis <loftisk@franklin.edu> Columbus, USA - The friends of Alicia from Almont (her church camp) felt her presence during camp this year. A new altar bible is in place in her memory and a candle was set afloat during the Survivor Service for her. She will always be a Survivor. bjneuenfeldt <neuenfel@edzone.net> Ithaca, USA - I think of beautiful alicia all the time. We used to hang out together with a bunch of friends from Graham(I was from Urbana) and I remember picking her up with some friends and having some fun filled evenings!!! Her smile could warm up a cold winters day and her cheerfullness could spin the world around. Thanks Alicia for letting me be a part in your life and we had some fun back in the day huh? Love,Kelly Kelly (Palmer) Shelpman <shelpman@aol.com> Springfield, USA - On July 28, 2002, Alicia's sister, Shanoa, boyfriend, Greg and I ran the San Francisco Marathon for Alicia. Friends and family joined us in this momentous occasion, and Alicia was surely there in spirit. She had been there for me on many occasions, cheering me on, encouraging me and giving me hope in those last few, lonely, cumbersome miles, in Boston and Columbus marathons, and in life. I asked her to help me with this one, especially the last 6 miles, I could do the first 20. At mile 20, I started feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders and found myself getting into a funk. Lo and behold, a voice from behind said, "let's do this for Alicia". I looked around and a young man, about Alicia's age, was smiling and reaching out his hand to help me. I grabbed his hand and felt a new strength as he said, " come on, we'll do this together for Alicia". For the next six miles, I saw Alicia's joyous, beautiful brown eyes in front of me as I glided to the finish, having two of my best miles during that stretch. I share this because I know that Alicia is there for us when we need her. The portal is open, all we have to do is ask. Peace be with us all. I love you, Lish, Dad John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - Hi Lyndsay It is only five minutes ago that I noticed your link at the bottom of your email (sweetAlicia.org). I am completely saddened,She must have been a very special person and indeed a special friend,I did not know her but she will be in my thoughts this night,and as you will see by my attachment there is a little candle burning on top of my computer with her name on it,so she will be remembered this evening in a very rural and peaceful corner of England...Yours Sincerely..Mark. Mark - From England - We met Alicia's family out on mile 17-18 during the San Fran. marathon (7/28/02). What a wonderful, energetic group of people! This website gives us a clear understanding of who Alicia is, the life that she lived, and the loving family and friends that she touched. We were lucky enough to have met all of you - thank you for touching OUR lives. Our hearts and thoughts are with you and Alicia! Culture E. <celaster@san.rr.com> San Diego, US - John, It was wonderful running with you and Alicia in the race today. Even though you were running the full and I was running only the half I know that Alicia was lending you wings. She must have been a wonderful person. I know that she is happy wherever she is. Keep running for her and for you. Good luck. P.S. 3:27 ??? I can only dream! Fantastic running!! Rajeev Patel <rajeevtherunner@yahoo.com> Milpitas, USA - No, I have never met Alicia, but neither that fact, nor the distance between us can diminish the sadness and sense of loss I share with all of you. I stumbled upon her photo by chance and halted there. A flood of thoughts came to me and for whatever reasons, I imagined her to be just the person whom you have so wonderfully portrayed in this tribute. Alicia is a Princess and you who shared her life have so much for which to be grateful and proud. She isn't very far from you, and you can feel sure that she's smiling still. Tears are OK, but smiles are better. Jim Williams <orion@total.net> Winnipeg, Canada - NO words can express the loss of a loved one. No pain can come close to the loss of a sister. No day will end the mourning of sweet Alicia. A memory will make me smile and then cry like a baby without mother. I will love you forever this coming from your brother. For infinity we have memories so for infinity we will have your smile, to brighten our day or to cry us to sleep. I will remember the times that Alicia reinforced my dreams and showed me that achievement is not for the weak. In every thought you are here every sun rise and sun set, my dear sweet Alicia we will never ever forget.love z Zac Titus <zactitus@hotmail.com> Helena, USA - I was very touched reading through this website. I didn't know Alicia, I came to know of her when I was trying to contact my friend Liza that fatal morning. I remember saying a prayer in hope that Liza's room mate was okay. Liza called me later with the news. I'd like to offer my sincerest condolences to all of her family and friends. May your pain ease with time. Sarah <curlychan@hotmail.com> Edmonton, Canada - I didn't know Alicia but would have liked to have known her. If she is as sweet as her Aunt Patti then I know she is a very sweet girl. she will be greatly missed by all. Your cousin Rebecca Coffing Rebecca Coffing <Tomasere@AOL.com> Zion, USA - Alicia is my niece and is very much missed and loved by her family. She was a very sweet person. She cared about everyone and everything that ever touch her soul and body. Love you Alicia very much. Patti and Bob Fink Aunt and Uncle Patti Fink <pattifink3@lycos.com> Urbana, usa - Alicia was a sweet and caring person.Alicia is my cousin.My mom my dad and my three sisters and I bought 6 balloons on Alicia's birthday.We wrote notes and attached them to the balloons.We let them go in our feild. Xandria Titus <xandria_angel92@yahoo.com> Rushsylvania, U.S.A - Alicia and I were in the same training class at the United Charm Farm - as we lovingly called it. So many memories and so many stories and with one central theme - Alicia - Sweet, Caring, Fiercely Independent, Fun-loving, - and the list could go on forever. I will always remember going to the movies the 1st weekend of training and the way Alicia was able to get people to move around to make 3 seats together. I remember always piling in Alicia's "Buckeye Mobile" to get around in the blinding snow. I am a California Native - seeing 6 feet of snow for 6 weeks about drove me crazy...thanks Alicia for keeping me sane. I remember the "thai food" experience when 7 or 8 of us crammed into a tiny thai restaurant and Alicia and Liza guided us through a wonderful dining experience. I remember our international training trip to London on New Year's Eve and the fun we had walking around London for way too many hours after spending 9 hours on the airplane. My feet hurt so bad that I couldn't walk....a few of us old folks (34 years old at the time - heehee) gave up, but Alicia kept going...sight seeing and taking it all in. I remember standing outside Buckingham Palace and seeing it deserted (except for one light on at the top) and we joked that the Queen must have been in the "loo" ...Hee Hee. I remember walking aimlessly around London looking for somewhere to eat (most everything is closed on New Year's Day) and when we ran across a pub in "Notting Hill" where each person orders one at a time, and then waits for their food to be delivered. Alicia was the 1st to make up her mind (part of that confidence and independence I loved so much) and while we sat and chatted and chatted ... Alicia's food came first.... we nearly had to force her to eat without us...as we did not want her food to get cold....and when she went to move her plate..... it went flying on the floor...broke and "fries were flying" ... We laughed and laughed and laughed some more. Alicia was always great to be around...I remember at "emergency training" - the most stressful week of the training class - at which time Alicia sat behind me and exuded confidence and charm and helped to keep us all calm. I remember that she was the only one to score 100% on all the quizzes and tests. I could go on forever about the endless adoration I have for Alicia. I am back to flying after 7 months on furlough - and everyday I remember the sacrifice that Alicia and my other friends - Al, Robert and Debbie made that day on UA 175 and UA 93. I watch Alicia smiling at me from above and I dedicate each and every flight I take to her memory. Alicia is one of the "sweet angels" that sits on my shoulder and watches over me every time I board that airplane. I smile everyday when I think about her and know in my heart she is surely missed by anyone that knew her and millions more around the world. God Bless the Titus family. Dale Oler (UA flight attendant) Dale Oler <UaFlyt@aol.com> Rancho Sta Marg, USA - I have never met Alicia. I have had to opportunity to get to know Alicia's fellow flying partners due to Sept 11th, and this is how I know about Alicia. To see how people react when Alicia's name is mentioned is moving. I can only imagine how wonderful of a person she was. Everyone that had Alicia touch their life is so priveledged, and I too feel priveleged due to the fact that Alicia's fellow flying partner's have kept her spirit alive, and are continuing to do so. Rest in peace Alicia. Nikki Carrier (DCASW) Nikki Carrier <Nikkimouse76@aol.com> Washington, USA - Alicia and I were classmates at the UAL training center and decided to live together after we found out that we both love Thai food! I remembered piling into her little car along with six other would be FA's in the middle of Chicago winter one night and drove to a little Thai restaturant. We were excited about living in a new city, meeting new friends, cooking and checking out the Boston scene. Alicia and I are from different cultural background but I never once felt that I am different from her, in fact, I felt more connected with her. We both love to travel solo and try new things. Then we got busy with work and she had decided to be in SF more often but when she was in Boston she would take time to be with me and our other roommates. I remembered sitting outside our house, a glass of wine in our hands and just talking, reconnecting. One night we decided to go to a local Latin Bar. We walked in, a "Flip"( Filipino)and a " haole" (American) amongst the latin babes. We looked at each other and went to the dancefloor and boogied. That's just one thing of the so many things that I missed about having Alicia around, her spontaniety, her loving acceptance of everybody and her love of humanity. I am flying again. I never really think that Alicia is gone, for me she is on a trip and that I will fly with her again in the future. Liza liza <lizalichan@hotmail.com> boston, USA - This is such a beautiful tribute to Alicia. I never met Alicia but have heard a lot about her through her Aunt Jodi. Alicia must have been a wonderful, positive person in all lives that she touched. Diane Lewis <DLEWIS106@compuserve.com> - I did not know Alicia but, my sister Paula worked with her in No. California. She must have been a very special person and I know Paula loved her dearly. Like many of us after 9/11 Paula struggled with her grief and with an overwhelming desire to do something to help. She decided to use her computer talents to honor Alicia. I know Paula and others worked very hard to help make this web site a special and moving tribute to Alicia. I think she accomplished that. My hope is that this web site will provide comfort in some small way to those who suffered such a tremendous loss. Alicia will obviously be missed by many. Thank you Paula for bringing Alicia into our hearts in such a special way. God Bless Patricia Schrock <pjrockpark@aol.com> Moorpark, usa - I did not know Alicia, but I wanted to express my Deepest Condolensces to the Titus Family. Words cannot express what I feel for your loss and every Family. From what I have read about Alicia, She seemed like a wonderful and bright Young Woman who brought so much love to those around her. Again, My Deepest Sympathy to those who loved her. Sincerely, Sharon Vitale Sharon Vitale <SVitale724@aol.com> Cranston, USA - Dear Alicia, It was a pleasure and a privelage knowing you. Your lust for life and unbridled optimism inspired me to look at life in a different way...thank you. I know that everyone who was lucky enough to meet you or work with you, feels the same. You were a good friend and we miss you. Take care. Stefan Mailvaganam <smailvaganam@nyc.rr.com> New York, USA - I went to School with Alicia in Ohio I did not know her very well because I was a year older but we had some classes togeather. I live in New York now and work 25 miles from Manhattan> I went to ground zero a few days after Sep 11 2001 I had no ideal at the time someone I went to school with was in that unbelievable destruction. I went to ground zero yesterday 6/18/2002 for the first time since september. I saw Alicia's picture on the wall at ground zero and I started to cry and could not stop for a long time. It was nice to see that someone had put her picture there but it hurt so much to see because it is so very sad that she is gone. Brad Mott <bbblmott@aol.com> Highland Falls, USA - I do not know Alicia, but would like to thank those who put this beautiful website together. I will be 29 on November 22 and I would love to accomplish even half of what Alicia has done with her life. I am very impressed with her and so SORRY that she is not able to continue the BEAUTIFUL LIFE she started for herself. To her family and friends she did not only touch the lives of those she knew, but those who never met her. GOD BLESS all the of the innocent people who didn't make it and their family and friends left behind to try and deal with such sudden a loss. My prayers are with you. I'll keep you in safe in my heart. Sincerely, Karen Karen Vella <vellakaren@hotmail.com> Toronto, Canada - Lish was my neice and a very special young lady. She was more like my little sister than my neice, whenever she needed help out of a situation she usually ran to Aunt Nan for help. I think of her daily and always try to remember the good times, but sometimes it is very difficult! I want to thank everyone who has put a helping hand into making this site for Lish, she would have truly enjoyed it as I do. Thank you and God bless!

Heaven's garden of Angels welcomed another Angel to the ranks. FCM <Anonymous> USA - Happy Birthday Alicia...Today is also my mother's birthday.. I know that the Angel's are helping you blow out candles today and you are the brightest angel of them all... Debi Meadows <meadowsd@panasonic.com> Atlanta, USA - I only knew her as a child. How sad it makes me to say it. Now she's gone and I'll never be able to know the beautiful, wonderful woman she blossomed into. June 11th would have been her 29th birthday. I would like to spend it doing something fun with her and her family. Instead I'll spend it in contemplation of her life and in prayer for an end to the hate and intolerance of the zealots who took her from us too soon. "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." These are the words to a song that was sung at Alicia's memorial service. Easy words to say, but so difficult to put into practice. For you, for your birthday Alicia ; I'll try. Ray Huffman <rlh@frognet.net> Amesville , USA - I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia when my daughter Celeste went to school with her in St. Paris. I am deeply saddened at the events of 911, Alicia you are missed by many...a poem for John and Bev in memory of Alicia... Last night while I was trying to sleep My daughter's voice I did hear. I opened my eyes and looked around, but she did not appear. She said, Mom you've got to listen, you've got to understand. He didn't take me from you He only took my hand. When I thought of you that day the instant that I died. He reached down and took my hand, and pulled me to his side. He pulled me up and saved me from the misery and the pain My body was hurt so badly, I could never have been the same. My search is finally over now I've found happiness within. All the answers to my hopeful dreams and all that might have been. I love you mom, and miss you so. but I'll always be nearby. My body is gone forever, but my spirit will never die. And so, you must go on now, don't be mad, just understand. He didn't take me from you. He only took my hand. Debi Meadows <meadowsd@panasonic.com> Atlanta, USA - Thank You for the beautiful site about Alicia. I never knew her but I have met her brother Zach a couple of times. Your family is in my heart and prayers. God Bless. David Gourley Dayton, USA - Knowing John and Bev as I do, I can only imagine what it must have been like to be in the presence of their best qualities blended into one being. A bright and warm soul that would open the heart and the mind of anyone in her presence. May we be greatful for the gift of her life and accept her death as a challenge to honor with our lives the best of what she gave to us. Rev. Ken Turley <revken2001@yahoo.com> Fryeburg, USA - I was in flight attendant training with Alicia and later shared a room with her in Boston. Alicia made a deep imression on me during the short year I knew her. When I try to pinpoint what it is that made her so special, I keep coming back to courage. She had the courage to go out and explore Boston on her own, be the only one on the dancefloor at a club, be the first person wearing what's in this month's Vogue (and always pull it off), to give herself to love and to feel the pain that can come with it, to travel to foreign places without a set plan, to play on the swings and the mokeybars as an adult, and to welcome and include the people around her. You knew to treasure your time with Alicia because she was someone you had to share. I can remember her smiling and laughing alot. I can hear her gentle voice encouraging you to come on some adventure with her. I'm looking forward to seeing her again one day. Until then I will seek joy and try to live as fully as she showed me how. Hayley Bunch <txhayley@yahoo.com> Hope, USA - With energy like Mercury, A Smile as blinding as the Sun, It is only fitting that Alicia's Celestial Spirit Is a Brilliant, Twinkling Star. Shining down to guide all who loved her -no matter where we are. I loved you, Alicia, for all your silliness and "joie de vie". Donna Donna Kemp <pariskaye@aol.com> Powell, USA - I have known the Titus family since I was a little girl. I remember dropping my sister off at Stephanie's house quite a bit. I came to know Alicia through Steph. Alicia was a beautiful person inside and outside. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't think of you all. God Bless! Krista Beatty <krista@boscanet.com> Springfield, USA - Alicia was a great person who touched many lifes. Lish was one in a million. She was wonderful. When Lish entered a room she made everyone turn and look. She was very pretty, bright, and very outgoing. Alicia never let any hold her back from what she wanted to do thats what made her so special. Lish I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS. Brittany Williams St.paris, - i never met alicia..but i know her cousins brittany and kyla...i wish the best for the family and i will keep you all in my prayers. erin richards <starsparkle_esr> st.paris, USA - I didn't know her, but I know her cousin Bryttanie W. I'm SO SORRY about her death! Brianne Zanesfeild, USA - My name is Julie Sweeney, and my husband Brian was on Untied 175. I spend a lot of time "getting to know" the others that shared their last moments with Brian. Alicia and Brian sounded so much alike in life and spirit. The loss of a person like brian is equally unfathomable. Brian had the opportunity to call me from their flight just minutes before crashing....know this...people were calm, and he was unafraid. If Alicia was with him, he protected her until the very end, and she couldn't have been with a more wonderful, loving, person....and it sounds like the same for Brian. Take Care of yourselves. Julie Sweeney <IMASWEENZ2@aol.com> Barnstable, USA - We really didn't know Alicia but she seems like a great person. We know her cousin Bryttanie W. We feel really bad about what happened. WE'RE SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackie Bellefontaine, USA - I have never met Alicia. I saw her photo in a magazine along with other victims of this terrible day. She caught my eyes with her happy and beautiful smile. By now I saw so many pictures of her and read about her and I`m truely touched. This is a beautiful Tribut-webpage. She really must have been a very special person and you can tell that Alicia was in love with life. I know there is nothing I can do or say to take away your pain. I wish I could turn back the time and make it not happen. I am sorry, I am so sorry. Wiesbaden, Germany - I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope God is giving you comfort and strength. You will be in my prayers. Gisele Harrison <gisele_harrison@msn.com> Calgary, Canada - Alicia was a great smiling flight attendant who i worked with usually during the summer. Alicia had the attitude that would make me feel so much better if was upset before boarding a flight. To her family and friends who knew her, I just wanted to say I was very lucky to meet Alicia and got to experience her kindness. GOD BLESS YOU ALICIA... Anita Mayo San Francisco, USA - I met Alicia about 3 weeks before Sept 11. She was visiting Greg & Lyndsey in our apt bldg & making a very creative mobile for Greg - which turned out beautiful. She and I sipped wine & chatted for hours. I will never forget that evening. She exuded an incredible energy and zest for life. She made a deep impression on me. I feel fortunate to have met her, and will carry her memories with me forever. I can still see her “Sweet Smile? Jill Short <msjillshort@yahoo.com> san fransisco, - Its not that she is not here, but that she is here...in soul, mind, heart and surroundings that make it hard to surface to reality.. In the time from when I was born till 9-11, the energy that comes from my older sister is so great that it starts to rubb off. She is still teaching me many things, not just from her death but when she was here...her presence. Thanks to everyone for caring so much. ANother time I will see you, I miss you and love you greatly lish! Elijah Titus <Little_boy_slim69@yahoo.com> - Although Alicia didn't know Melissa Vincent...They knew each other through the bond that one shares with someone that they could call a sister. They are in heaven together united by creed. Anonymous - When I took her old room at 707 Lehay, one of the first things I noticed in the empty room was that there were two big daisies right where the corners intersect with the ceiling. They were hand-painted. I asked Julie if they had always been there, and she said Alicia had been bored and painted them, thinking she would paint an entire border. I guess she dropped the idea. It?s not somewhere anyone would notice, except the girl who dressed in there every morning. She had taken a pencil and drawn a little smiley face in one of the flowers. Laura S. - I am Jamie Titus Alicias cousin. I am 15 years old. When Alicia died i was heart broken i loved her very much the last memory i have of alicia was in canada me her and some of my other family members went to the movies! At the movies we saw AI: Artificial Intellegence and there were some kids in the back making noise so Alicia stands up goes back there and politely tells these kids to be quiet! Alicia was always polite, caring kind, affectionate even when she was mad she still kept her cool! I miss her terribly and i will never forget her Smile! I love you Alicia and family! God Bless you will always be my fave cousin Alicia Jamie Lea Titus. Alicias cousin <jasons_little_angel@hotmail.com> Rushsylvania, USA - girl. How sad that the world has lost another angel.

God Bless your family and know that you are in our thoughts. Denise Hinson <dee1@in-motion.net> - Well I never knew Alicia, but by looking at her photo we have lost a beautiful angel. May God keep her and may she rest in peace forever. She was an angel in the skys, now she's an angel in heaven. My thoughts and prayers go to the family. God Bless Jon Grant <keljovi77@aol.com> San Jose, CA - I walk by a beautiful shrine to Alicia every day on my way to work - the flowers always fresh and the candles always burning in rememberance. It is obvious she was well loved. I pause to look at the picture of her beautiful smiling face, and my first thought is "what a tragic loss." But my thoughts then turn to the realization of how precious our lives are and how we must love our family, our friends, and be true to ourselves. I didn't know Alicia, but she has given me a renewed spirit and has truly opened my eyes and heart to what really matters. She's a true angel and is surely at peace. Nancy Mossa <mossamiz@maine.rr.com> San Francisco, CA - Alicia and I were in training together in Chicago and were both assigned to Boston following training. She was a wonderful girl with so much going for her. She will always be remembered for her wonderful smile and positive attitude. I will hold her memory in my heart forever. Janice Cinko <fajcinko@cs.com> Apple Valley, CA - I never personally knew Alicia, but she was a friend of my sisters at Graham. It's kind of strange how one can feel personal loss, even when you are not directly involved. God Bless. Brian Zerkel <bmzerkel@cs.com> Springfield, OH - Alicia will forever..."walk truly in the light of the flame"... Love, The Women of Delta Zeta Emily Davis Denver , CO - I want to thank everyone that has written in this tribute. I am Alicia's Aunt and it makes me feel so overwhelmed that she was able to touch so many lives. She was a unique person and we all miss her very much. God bless and be safe.

Bob & Nora Hertenstein <winnie_t_pooh13@hotmail.com> Bellefontaine, OH - I did not know Alicia personally, but her father is well known on the campus of Schoolcraft College, where I attend classes. I was heartbroken for Mr. Titus...and I keep all the families of the victims in my prayers every day. God Bless.

She sounded like a very beautiful person who brought much love to those in her life. My sincere sympathies to her Family and Friends.

I only wish I could have gotten to know her better. Anya DeLima <Anya.DeLima@Burthill.com> Boston, MA - This is a loss felt by many. I was a cheerleader with Alicia during High School. She was bright, loving, caring and a whole lot more. My thoughts and prayers are with not only her family but everyone else. God Bless Us All. Tonya Vititoe Colorado Springs, CO - Alicia will be remembered fondly by her Delta Zeta pledge sisters of Miami University. May God Bless Her and Keep Her. Amy Spasoff Cincinnati, USA - I wear a band bearing Alicia's name daily and think about her every day. May God Bless Her Soul and God Bless America. Allison Lindon New York, USA - Dear Greg and Titus family. I read of Alicia today in the New York Times. I'm the boyfriend of Ann Nicole Nelson who was lost in Tower One on 9/11. Alicia and Ann seem very similar in personality not only in middle names. I feel how deep your loss is. Her smile, laugh, passion for travel, and exploring, always looking to grow. I noticed her right away and thought of how Ann tilted her head to the side as she laughed. I'm not really a religous person, but if there is something, they must have found each other on that day. They will be missed. Eric Lockovitch - boyfriend on WTC victim Ann Nicole Nelson. Eric Lockovitch <elocko@hotmail.com> Chicago, USA - Alicia ~ I first met you outside a party in Los Altos Hills. As I arrived, you were sitting on the edge of a stone wall near the front of the property, taking in the fresh air and stars. I knew few people at the occasion. Nonetheless, you were uncommonly warm and welcoming, so completely open to a stranger. Your smile emanated incredible and sincere joy. I recall thinking, "she's beautiful inside and out." In my mind, I will always remember you under that brilliant starry night, naturally stunning yet content, and friendly in a way that most beautiful girls are not. On a clear night, I wonder if you are one of those celestial sparkles returning our gaze. Alicia, thank you for being you. Lara San Francisco, USA - may your smile brighten the heavens,as your eyes light up the stars, and the memory of your sweetness, keeps us steady for awhile. jean and bear young <fjymom@yahoo.com> urbana, usa - the friends and family of Alicia,my heart goes out to you.In reviewing the photos of those precious people who were taken from us that day,Alica's photo was one that got my attention, as anyone with a face as beautiful as hers would! No I never met Alicia,but as a true blue American,ex-military,and a fellow Ohioan,I will always feel grief as I look back on that god awful day,,and also after viewing Alicia's pictures,as well as reading many tributes to those who knew her,it was easy to believe she was loved my many!Alica and those who knew and loved her,are in my prayers every night(along with others involved in this senseless tragedy)May God Bless her,and her freinds and family,,,and while you can no longer touch and hug her for now,,,,she is looking over you always from a better place.You see,a very dear freind of mine lost his sister (who I had the opportunity to meet) to terrorists (PanAm 103),and what little comfort this may offer at the present moment, please remember the next time you see Alica,there will be no more sorrow,,,,,,God Bless Dan Dames <DDannyUSAF@AOL.COM> Parma Heights, Cuyahoga - I never knew Alicia personally, but as part of her amazing family I know she is greatly missed. I remember her outstanding beauty and wonderful smile. My love goes out to all those hurt by their loss. Dara Johnson <djohnson@cc.cumber.edu> Bellefontaine, USA - My thoughts are with you all.

I sympathize with your incredible loss and wish you the fondest memories of your sweet Alicia. She is in good hands now. AJ Roberts <roberts_aj@hotmail.com> Rushsylvania, USA - Sweetheart we 'll miss you until eternity, I'm sure that you knew how much we loved you and now how much we miss you. Grandpa and Grandma Titus Glenno Phillip Titus <gotitus@bright.net> Rushsylvania, USA - stunning website, terrible loss. i am so sorry Eva Bear <jjeva@frognet.net> Athens, USA - I did not know her but what I have heard she is a very nice and loving person. My love goes out to her family Amber Many memories flood my mind of Alicia; As a pre-schooler, how she would dance at any music, a commercial jingle or an old rock and roll song,etc., thus earning her nickname of "Boogie". As a grade schooler, her million-watt smile, before her self-consciousness as a teenager. Then, after braces straightened her teeth, that smile returned to light up any area she inhabited. And as a young adult, how she could charm and disarm even the most sarcastic and cynical and negative of us. Alicia knew no strangers. They were only friends she hadn't met yet. I can hear her voice clearly in my head, saying,"Why can't we all just get along?" The best way we can honor her and all the other exceptional people who died on Sept. 11, 2001, is to strive for world peace. Instead of focusing our energies on dividing ourselves up by race, religion, gender, or national origin, let us unite and concentrate on our similarities. "I AM EARTHLING-HEAR ME ROAR!!" Love, Peace, and Joy, Submitted by her favorite aunt Jana, Blessed to have known and loved her. Jana L. Walker <janabanana717@hotmail.com> Rushsylvania, U.S.A. - Alicia's beautiful spirit lives brightly through her family who adore her. Praise God. Susie Whittington <whittington.1@osu.edu> Delaware, USA - I still don't have adequate words for the loss of my sweet friend, but her absence is tangible and she is always in my mind and heart. I'm certain that she is okay wherever she is - she had a constant curiosity and wonder about each new experience she encountered - I imagine she has it still. But for me, left behind, I won't ever be the same. Lyndsey Cronk <Lyndsey@bigmouthgirl.com> San Francisco, USA - Although I never knew Alicia, I know she was a good person because of her smile. God Bless her soul. David Knezevic <dknezevic23@aol.com> My heart cries out for the pain of losing someone as sweet, beautiful, joyous, bright, loving, courageous...as our "Sweet Alicia". Although, I know in the depths of my soul that Alicia's beautiful spirit lives on, I miss our special time together here on earth. Our spirits were kindred long before our sojourn together as father and daughter. I cherish every moment that we spent together and the many fond memories. We had a way of loving and challenging each other in our beliefs that would propel each of us onward on our journey of regeneration. Twenty eight years and three months was not enough time to share with such an angelic soul as Alicia. She ardently strived to make a difference in this world, to make it better, more loving, more understanding, more accepting of diversity, more joyous, more heavenly, and more at peace. From her example we can all learn and grow and find ways to live in harmony. We deserve this as spiritual beings, and this is what my dear sweet Alicia would want for us all. So, when you think of Alicia feel the joy that surrounds you, find that true sense of being at peace in your soul, and reach out to your brothers and sisters with warmth and with understanding. Let us so honor Alicia and those that sacrificed their lives on September 11, so that we may grow beyond the hate and the violence that has haunted humanity since the beginning. God, Great Mystery, Jehovah, Life-Force Energy, Holy Spirit, Allah...be with us all and may we find peace. John Titus, Alicia's Dad. John Titus <jltitus11@yahoo.com> Dexter, USA - - |
