Never Forget. Every time I get to go home I visit the site. It’s still hard to comprehend that two huge skyscrapers stood there. I knew none of the victims or heroes. The place is personal because my high school job was in the World Trade Center concourse level.

Stop & Think. In recent days, I’ve received several calls involving the Delphi case with no merit. It’s a shame family members have to ask people again to stop spreading misinformation that may interfere with the case or destroy an innocent person’s life.

What a great message involving “143.” Tyler Trent in his final days would use the numbers “143” to communicate “I Love You”. 1=“I”, 4=“Love”, 3=“You”. “143” was commonly used by Fred Rogers from “Mister Rogers Neighborhood.” Tyler was a fan. @rtv6
