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

I want to thank everyone that attended the memorial service for Lish.
The thoughts and prayers were very welcoming. I am sure that she was there
in spirit and was very pleased at the outcome. Please be safe and thank
you once again. Lish's Aunt Nancy Birt

I found your memorial through a blog I read. My husband just got back
from a year in Iraq and 9/11's terrible shockwave has now touched
our lives and, I see, yours quite directly. I'm so sorry for your
loss. Your Alicia seems like a beautiful woman, someone we need walking
this earth. Thank you for sharing her with us

Dear Alicia, it was five years yesterday that your life was sadly stolen
from you. I never knew you but wish i had! I just know in my heart you
took the greatest of care of everybody up there in that plane that day
and i am thinking of you today, yesterday, tomorrow and every day i have.
You were such a wonderful, beautiful person and i truly admire everything
you did in your incredible 28 years. And to Alicia's family and friends
know that I am always here for you also and i want to wish you all the
blessings on earth over the next few days. God bless you Alicia! xxx

Dear Alicia Sometimes when I fly I look up and I see your face at the
other end of the cabin. I remember how you would pick up the aircraft
phone and talk to me at the other end of the cabin with an impish wink
and a beautiful smile on your face. I miss you Richard Anderson (ex UAL

I can't believe it's already been five years. It seems like
it was just yesterday I was sitting in German Class at Graham High School
when the annoucement was made. Just thinking of that day and Alicia gives
me chills and brings tears to my eyes. She is gone from Earth but her
spirit is not and she is definitely not forgotten. Her spirit lives in
so many people today and she has touched the lives and influenced the
lives of many people. She was so young, beautiful, and energetic. I only
hope and dream that someday I can be half of the incredible person and
woman that she was. My prayers are with you and your family.

A few years ago I wrote here to say that even though I had never met
Alicia, I would never forget her. I have not forgotten about her and I
never will. I originally found her page because I had looked up my birthdate
on the internet out of curiosity to see who shared a birthday with me.
That's how I found Alicia. We were born on the exact same date on
the exact same year and we were also both born in Ohio. June 11, 1973.
I think about her often, especially around our birthday. Even though I
never met her, I still feel like she is here. I feel like I got a good
understanding of her from this page, and a good understanding of her family
too. Your family seems to have a strong bond and you seem to be true peacemakers.
There is such a true feeling of peace when I think of Alicia and her family.
I can feel it when I visit this page and when I think of her. She was
blessed to have such a loving, peaceful family, and I know that you all
were just as blessed to have her. In my mind and in my heart, I celebrate
my birthday with her every year, because it is her birthday too, and I
feel that her birth should continue to be celebrated every year. When
I turned 33 this year, she turned 33 with me; she just happens to be in
a much more special place to celebrate a birthday. And I can imagine that
in her own way, she gives gifts on her birthday and throughout the year
rather than receive them. I imagine her as an angel giving the gift of
inspiration to someone when they need it, or the gift of hope to someone
just at the right moment, or the gift of peace to a group of people who
are grieving. She give the gift of great memories of fun and laughter
to those who knew her. May her parents, family, and loved ones, and even
those who never got to meet her, continue to feel peace in their hearts
when they think about Alicia, and may we all take that peace and give
that peace as a gift to the world. Alicia will keep on giving the gift
of peace right back to you when you need it.

I worked with Alicia at Netcentives in San Francisco. She wasn't
in San Francisco long but she left a lasting impression. She was such
a sweet gentle soul and its hard to believe it has been 5 years. I remember
September 11, 2001 so vividly and how tragic it was. I will never forget
a phone call that I got that night. Someone from Netcentives called and
said Alicia was on one of the planes! My heart dropped and I couldn't
believe it. I felt so much pain for Alicia and her family. I have two
kids and I can't imagine losing a child like that. I have attended
every San Francisco Giants game that is on or around September 11th. They
do a rememberance of those lost on 9/11. In front of the park they have
banners with all the names of those who died on that day. I always look
for Alicia's name and take a moment to reflect and remember her. I
had my son with me at the game last night and I showed him her name and
told him all about her. She is gone from this earth but she is far from
forgotten.

much the same. May God bless you.

English class at Graham or rehearsing for a musical or back on the History
Club trip from 8th grade. As the Class of 1991 gets ready for our 15 year
Class Reunion in a couple of weeks, it will be sad to know that one of
our classmates will be missing, you. Your in our thoughts and prayers
and we will never forget you. God Bless.

Dear John & Bev On September 11 2001 I was getting up to turn off
the today show and enjoy a gorgeous September day with my daughter who
was not quite 1 yet. At the moment I went to turn off my television, Matt
Louwer began the broadcast that would introduce the new world which we
would live in. What began as curiousity and amazement would moments later
be turned to horror and shock as the second tower of the world trade center
was hit. With the subseqant pentagon and pennsylvania crashes the incredible
fear of being personally attacked became overwhelming. As I watched with
Nina, the world in which she was being brought into was changing for me
by the moment. I won't go into the whole naration of my days &
weeks following other than I was working at a yacht club in Greenwich
Ct, in the shadow of the smoke from the fires in lower Manhattan. Several
days following I learned of Alicia being on the second plane and the thought
of your personal loss tore through me. I hope to someday be able to share
my personal and rather ordinary experience with others, but share it everyday
with my daughters. Today was an unthinkable and improbable event and knowone
ever imagined that such a thing could happen but maybe a day with out
violence or hate should not be unimaginable and to try to make your life
a better place wich will ripple out from your experience and be a inspiration
to those who know you. Living with out hate or malice in our daily lives
may seem trite, but when a great wave destroys a beach in a moment, the
small daily ripples restore it, slowly. God bless, Dan Lestrud

I am a former UAL flight attendant that was based in Boston on Sept.
11, 2001. I never had the honor of flying with Alicia, but think of her
and the other flight attendants, pilots, passengers and World Trade Center
victims a lot. The events of that day will forever echo in my mind. Your
words have touched me and think that you have a very fitting memorial
for your daughter. I wish you peace...

It's been five years and it still seems so fresh, like it was yesterday
watching everything unfold and then being told you were on the second
plane. I remember not believing it and kept watching the news, and then
finally seeing your name scroll across the screen. Devastating, that is
the only thing I can say. So may memories from when we were little and
I remember staying at your house to you moving and then after graduating
getting together again and having fun, laughing , and you smiling. I can
see that smile anywhere. You are one of a kind and will always be. I miss
you and think of you everyday. To your family thank you so much for such
a great gift of life. LOVE YOU LISH. ANNA

WOW! It's hard to imagine that 5 years ago today tragedy struck
this country in the hardest way possible. Not only that but we lost a
very important person to us in the Graham community, Alicia. There is
not a day that goes by that I do not think about her or your family. I
constantly wonder what if September 11th never happened, where would Alicia
be, where would everyone who lost their lives be. But as I sit here and
ponder this I think to myself, playing the what if game isn't going
to solve anything. Remembering Alicia and her heart-warming smile and
sharing that with everyone I know will change something. Maybe not right
away, but knowing that I helped pass along that smile to someone special
in my life is already changing the world for the better. So today on September
11, 2006 I will give everyone around the biggest Alicia smile possible,
and I will speak of her highly. I cannot say I know what your going through,
because I don't, but I will keep each and everyone one of the Titus
family in my thoughts and prayers. May god give you the stregnth and courage
to hold your heads high and caring on Alicia's life through you! Hugs
to the Titus family!

While I never knew Alicia, I did have the honor of meeting her father.
It was shortly after the events of 9/11 and I delivered some letters to
him that my English students had written to the family expressing their
feelings. I was very impressed with John and how he was so open to talking
to me. It was so obvious he was in so much pain, yet he took the time
to talk to me. You could tell by listening to him what a wonderful daughter
Alicia was. Over the last 5 years, I have been drawn to this site continually.
My son shares June 11th as a birthdate with Alicia and I think that is
part of the connection. From everything that I have seen, Alicia was an
extraordinary young woman. I continue to be impressed with the Titus family
and their actions with regards to peace, not war. I am sure Alicia is
proud of each and every one of you. Tomorrow will be a difficult day for
all. Please know that everyone in the United States will be remembering
the events of 5 years ago right along with all of you. Thank you so much
for sharing all of this online and keeping Alicia's spirit alive in
so many ways. To the Titus family, May God Bless each and every one of
you. To Alicia, may you continue to rest in peace and keep watch over
your family and all of us!

Dear Alicia and family. In my part of the world we have now entered
September 11th 2006. I never knew you or met you but for some reason I
found you this evening. I have never written in anyone's guestbook
before and I really don't know what to say except that reading about
you and your life has touched me profoundly. I have read a lot about the
many people that perished September 11th but this tribute page and all
the pictures, well, it's very moving and hard because you were so
young and so very obviously loved by a lot of people. I think your family
are very special and it's easy to see that you were very close. It's
very unfair that your life was cut short the way it was and my heart breaks
for your family. Reading about you tonight has inspired me to be a better
person. To be a better daughter, a better wife and most of all a better
friend. Life is so busy and often things get in the way, things like a
career or other things that now seem insignificant. I want you to know
that reading about you and getting to know you through this page means
a lot to me. You are a very brave family and I admire you for having the
strength to share this with the rest of us. My heart goes out to yours
and I will keep a candle burning for Alicia ! Peace from Kristin

John, Bev & Familly The 5th Anniversary of Lish's passing over
is upon us. As Betsy said in church this morning, we need to think about
the joy in peace. We need to remember that grief is the cost of love and
that love is the memory we hold forever for the one who has gone ahead.
Those of us who have lost children, no matter in what manner, can only
keep our dreams alive through love, peace and understanding. The idea
of getting revenge cannot enter into our thoughts. Missy & Ed are
here to help us commemorate this anniversary at the Day of Peace at Urbana
University. Please know that you folks are perpetually in hearts, minds
and prayers. Our deepest love remains with you all.

I am orignally from Urbana, Ohio. I knew Alicia. She was a few years
younger than myself and remember her coming to some house parties in Urbana
and watching her dance - and saying to myself "Boy she can really
dance and she enjoyed it so much!" Then I didn't see her for
several years and then remember seeing her at the local gym in Urbana
and envying her for her strength - her agility, determination and her
beauty. I hadn't seen her in years and here she is before me so STRONG.
When I heard in 2001 she was on the flight - I was so saddened -what a
great loss. From what I knew of her she was fiesty - the terrorists didn't
stand a chance with her on that plane. My deepest sympathies go out to
her friends and family. Although I didn't know her all that well -
from the very first time I saw her - she made an impression on me and
will never be forgotten. I celebrate her life and rememberance - she was
a very strong and beautiful person.

I remember watching the television after I got home from work in a
state of shock and disbeleif on September 11th, 2001. Watching the plane
hit the tower, watching the buildings collapse. I watched for several
hours because I didn't know what else to do. My country was under
attack and I feared there would be more attacks coming. That was when
the phone rang. My heart sank as I heard it ring again because I knew
somehow it was going to be tragic news. It was my best friend Travis calling
me to tell me that Alicia was an attendent on flight 175. I actually recall
standing there in silence for a moment because my mind just shut down.
I asked him to repeat himself and he did and it still did not make any
sense at all. It wasn't possible. How could it be? I remember Alicia
as such a warm, happy, beautiful soul. She was and is a great person and
still, five years later I do not understand how such a wonderful person
could be stolen from her friends and family. I stil cannot comprehend
the evil that took so many lives that day. I am so sorry to all that knew
her. We have all suffered a great loss. I graduated from Graham a few
years behind Alicia and a year or two ahead of Shenoah and I just want
you to know that I always looked up to the Titus family and still do!
They were and still are a model for my generation to raise our families
like! God bless you and keep you! My hope and prayer for you is that peace
be with you and your family and friends for the rest of your lives! Much
love and respect, Matt

We are approaching the 5th anniversary of Alicia's death and, somehow
by the grace of God, we have survived! It has been a painful journal and
the sadness is just overwhelming at times. We didn't just lose a daughter;
we lost our dreams, our hopes, our aspirations, our future...which we
have with all of our children, grandchildren and beyond. Alicia left us
with many gifts and she still is instrumental in changing our world. Her
shining example of love made manifest and her undying search for peace
and justice in a world that is so far from both, will serve as a guiding
light and an impetus for change. We have shared Alicia's story all
over the world; it is a story of hope, joy, love, goodness, understanding...it
is a story of peace for all. On September 11th, at Urbana University in
Urbana, Ohio, we have a whole day of events planned to honor Alicia and
all victims of political violence. We will start with an honoring ceremony
in the morning; host speakers who will talk about nonviolent conflict
resolution in Ohio schools and about the Peace Museum and activities at
Wilmington College; and we will cap off the evening with Bev and I sharing
our story followed by Marianne Williamson with her powerful message of
love, peace and understanding. Alicia's legacy lives on! And, her
spirit is alive and well. But, I miss her dearly. Love always in all ways,
Dad

Alicia, It has been a long time since I wrote to you, but I know that
you are around every now and then with a hundred dragonflies dancing on
the wind in the park or a dream that you are telling me that you are ok.
I believe that you are in a wonderful place, but I still miss you with
all of my heart. I have become close to Bev and John and cherish every
moment I get to spend with them. Your mother shares many of the same beautiful
qualities that I saw in you. I love them very much but there is always
sadness that you aren't there with us drinking sake and eating sushi
or even jumping on the bed with Lyndsey. As September 11 comes closer
and closer my heart aches and I know that the pain will always be there.
My life has changed so much in the past few years. I love teaching and
have a wonderful new job teaching 3rd graders. I remember the last time
I saw you - you came home and dragged me up to the roof to see the orange
moon, it was an eclipse. We talked about life and where our journeys might
take us. You asked me why I didn't just quit and teach and I had no
excuse. I did what I said I would that night, I quit the day you left
us and followed that dream.You would love my husband - can you beleive
I am a married woman? I felt your spirit there on the beach at my wedding.
I wish you could be here teaching or traveling the world or whatever other
dream, of the many dreams that you had, you chose to follow. I love you
lish! love, light and hugs, Tamara

I never met Alicia. I found this site completely by accident. I didn't
know anyone that lost their life in what happened on 9/11. But learning
Alicia. It made me unbearable sad. I've cried so much for her yet
I didn't even know her. Seeing her photos and reading her poems and
learning about her life. She was 28 years old when her life was taken
from her. The same age I am now. She was unebelievably beautiful - I was
mesmerised. It makes me so sad thinking how young she was when he died.
She had bright future taken away from her. I really wish I could have
known her..... Rupesh Patre (London, England)

Hey Lish! I know that its been a while...Okay, a very long time. Seems
like life is just flying by. I can't belive that its almost been 5
whole years. The wounds are still so open. But one thing to help me in
my time of need besides you is my wonderful son and boyfriend. They make
me so happy and give me a reason to live, do good in life, and just to
make it. Bubs (Anthony Stephen Portis Jr.), will be one is a few months.
Thats CRAZY!! He can crawl now, stand up, walk with his walker, talk,
not many words but some, and many more. You know, when you left us I vowled
to myself to be a better person, and live life to the fullest. To some
people that would mean parting and stuff like that. Dont get me worng
I did my share, but when I had my son I knew what that actually meant.
And Anthony , my boyfriend you would like him.If it wasn't for him
I wonder where I would be sometimes. He's really cool with Eli when
ever he visits, the same with Zac. Your parents feel the same and that
means alot to me. All of you guys have been there for me since I can remember
and that is something that I will never forget. We'll its getting
late, but I will keep in touch. I promise. I love you lish, always and
forever! You will never leave my heart. Love you, Aunt Bev, Uncle John,

you brought to us all. Grandma Delaney and I worked Thursday and Friday
getting your brochures ready to be mailed for your upcoming Peace Fund.
It was hard and joyous at the same time. We talked about the good times
and some of the not so good times and that helped the process. You touched
so many lives even after you went on to heaven. I miss you so much and

Hello Alicia. At school I always pass the monument seat sitting right
outside the office and I think about you. The school and the library has
your picture, the one where you're sticking your hair up with your
hands and making a silly face lol, and I always wonder what kind of person
you were. That picture must show your personality the most from reading
here on what your family and friends have said about you. For your family:
Im sorry for your loss. Loosing someone is very hard, and I pray that
you'll have strength. Take care Alicia. RIP.

God bless you Alicia and your beautiful family. I am a kindred soul
and understand your need to explore the world and to be of service which
has been with me also since a young age. I am only sorry that I was never
able to meet you in the physical, on earth, but I know that I've met
you in spirit, thousands of time. You are obviously a shining angel, a
shining example of love. The irony is you never needed to seek the truth,
you were the embodiment of truth and we, all others, your humble students.
To Alicia's family and friends, thank you for sharing her life on
earth with the world. May you find peace and continued inspiration in
her honor and memory. Love, Crystal

Yesterday was Alicia's birthday. She was 33. I awoke feeling her
adventuresome spirit as I jumped in the MGB and headed out for a ride.
I ran across several hundred bicyclists and saw that it was a part of
a Triathalon. So, I jumped in and ran 5 miles through the woods with the
crowd. When I returned to our cottage near Half-Moon Lake (the last place
Alicia and I visited on her birthday in 2001), Bev and I had Mumosa's.
The day was a mixture of feeling the joyousness that Alicia brought to
all of us who knew her and the pervasive sadness of not being able to
share this special day with her. I remember the first time that I held
her and knew immediately how very special she was. Her angelic presence
filled my heart and spread beyond. Alicia was and is a highly evolved
soul who came here with a purpose and, she fulfilled it. The good that
she brought to this world-her compassion, her joy, her hope, her laughter,
her adventuresome spirit, her love, her wisdom, her childlike innocence...will
be with us forever. But I miss her dearly even though I know she is still
with us in spirit. In peace and love, Alicia's Dad

To the Family of Alicia Titus: Ever since September 11th, I'm sure
your family has had so much to endure. You had a beautiful daughter who
blossomed into a wonderful wise young lady. Although she was taken from
you too soon, she still exists with you. She watches you on bended knee
from a coveted cloud in the sky. God Bless you guys.

All those good, bad happy and sad times in Alica life only lasted a
short while on earth but life, memories and love will always exist and
Alica's life will go on with the people she knows and loved and the
people who read these messages. Love for Alica and many more will never
die because Alica's life, memories and love is in so many hearts.
There are still good people on earth always hold your head up high nevertheless
i know and understand sometimes life is difficult.

I found the website a few weeks ago, but have been thinking about what
to write. John and Bev, I'm not sure if you remember me, but my mom
is Sharon Reddekopp (now Williams), and we lived in Springfield and went
to church with you in Urbana when I was a child. I am so deeply saddened
by your loss and the loss of such a bright light. Thankfully, though,
we know that Alicia is in a much better place where her light can shine
even brighter on everyone. Love to your family.

Hi, I'm just a visitor. My thoughts are..this is so not fair. I
just saw that movie about Flight 93 and it was difficult to watch. Then
I went on the internet to find out a little more about stuff, and found
these tribute pages. Young people shouldn't have to die at all. You
hear 9/11 over and over from the politicians, and forget that real people
suffered and died. Don't give up. Even if her life was cut short,
it doesn't have to be any less meaningful. I'm glad she had people
that cared about her.

your friendship in school and how pleasant you were. To the Titus family,
you have been friends to my family, I wish I could have been in St. Paris
to support you when you needed friends the most. You are in my prayers
all the time since all this happened and will continue to be there. God
bless you and your family. Love the Blossers

I too, was a flight attendant for UAL on Sept. 11th. Although I no
longer am, I still feel the kinship flight attendants had for one another.
I was not fortunate enough to know Alicia personally, but I am grateful
for this site created for such a beautiful soul. It helps me to feel as
if I do know her. She was obviously an incredibly loved and loving person.
I pray that the pain of 9/11 and what it did to families like this one
are healed a bit every day.

I couldn't write earlier; had to reflect some and allow your family
to share their own time of grief. Share their pain and remorse at the
loss of all the hope for you: having a husband someday, having your own
children, and yes, eventually grandchildren. Hope seems wavering when
we are faced with hatred. I am reminded that we are all Children of God.
He knew you Alicia since before you were born in mortality. I am reminded
of the fact that we chose to come here to this Earth. I am reminded that
we came here to accept the difficulties and problems of life; to accept
the challenges and difficulties of life. I am reminded that nothing can
exist without it's opposite. Something, many of us seem to overlook
in our mortal days. We can not have sunshine without rain. We can not
have water without deserts. We can not have love without hate. A fact
of life. I, though never having known you in your life feel a kindred
Spirit to you, Alicia. I too have TITUS blood coursing through my veins.
I'd like to think of you in that Spirit Realm with all our TITUS forebears.
They who left this existence know of us here still in mortality. I can
feel the truthfulness of that in the very fabric of my being. I salute
you, Alicia for the Adventurous Spirit that was your life. Though you
now know what I am next about to convey, I yet want to say it for the
solace of your family. Alicia, love does not die. Love is eternal, just
as you are eternal. Families were never meant to be in this mortal existence
only. If such were the case, then what, may I ask, is the point of having
loving relationships? Would it not seem pointless if all the bonding we
have with family, friends, and yes I may even say our pets....what is
the point of it all if it must end in death? Death is nothing more than
a Doorway to another stage of existence. Where you now are, Alicia, are
teeming numbers of family members who love you and admire your sweet spirit.
They, as you, are aware of those of us who are still here. You, with them,
await us for when we shall rejoin you. Be of good cheer, you are a Child
of the Universe. Your Heavenly Father knows You as well as He knows all
His Other Children. I feel at times that our Heavenly Parents cry when
They see how we treat each other here on this old Earth. Did I say Heavenly
Parents? Why, yes, I did. I belueve, Alicia, as you now know, that Heavenly
Father begot Us, His Children, just as we beget children here in mortality.
By so saying, I also admit to a knowledge of our Heavenly Mother, for
afterall, when was a child born without a mother? Alicia, all is well.
You have passed through this Trial of Life, of Mortal Life....a stage
on your journey through Eternal Life. May your folks, and your siblings
and friends find the solace in the fact that your going away so suddenly
is but only a brief time apart, like leaving a room. We shall all be together
again, and at that reunion, we shall never be parted again. Love &
Peace, Alan

50th birthday, who if I may add does not look a day over 25. I enjoyed
you all so much and it seemed to hit me too close to home to meet such
a wonderful family that had firsthand involvement with that horrible tragedy.
My heart goes out to Alicia and all of you. Please come and see me again,
With Love, Alisha Kai

Yesterday we celebrated Bev's birthday; 3 weeks ago it was our
33rd anniversary; tomorrow is Lexi's first birthday; this weekend
is the Titus Christmas and the following is the Delaney Christmas...and
life goes on, somehow. In the midst of the celebration lies a deep sadness,
a hole in our hearts that will not heal, and a pain in our souls that
will forever burn. I can accept death; but I find it difficult to accept
the painful loss of a child through a vicious act of murder when all around
us swirls the political whirlwinds that perpetuated the conditions that
fueled the fire of hate, injustice, greed, avarice...the underlying reasons
for the attacks on September 11th. Azim Khamisa lost his son, Tariq, a
victim of a gang murder by a 14 year old gang banger. He so astutely proclaims
that "there are victims on both sides of the gun". Our world
is filled with victims; victims of injustice, malnutrition, pandemics,
inadequate health care...It is not a choice that a baby makes that puts
his life at risk because he is born to povery or AIDS. Over 30,000 children
die each day because of poverty, treatable disease, starvation and exposure.
And, we the people who could effect this choose to ignore this fact because
it hurts too much to see the truth of this stark reality. For Christians,
we are charged to "love thy neighbor as thyself"; for other
faith communities, therein rests the precepts of love and compassion also.
Yet we continue to use religion to alienate, to judge, to wage war and
to kill. Whatever happened to the pure message of love, understanding
and hope? Whatever happened to the message of peace and forgiveness that
is at the core of Christianity? Whatever happened to the innocense, joy,
goodness and mercy? Whatever happened to "peace on earth goodwill
toward all?" What if we all chose to love thy neighbor? What if we
accepted that we are our brothers keeper? It's time to heal our world
and concentrate our energy on those forces that will bring peace and harmony,
not more hate and destruction. Let the true message of Christmas come
into your heart and flow out into the world. And, Alicia will smile upon
you. Love to all, Alicia's Dad.

it has been such a long time, Sept 11 2001 and I think of you every
day. Your smile, Your laughter, Your inner beauty. Everything we do, and
everywhere we go, you are with us, in our thoughts, in our prayers, and
in our hearts. The world lost a beautiful soul that day, but God got one
back. I think so much of our last summer in Canada together with the family.
You are so deeply missed in our lives, but your spirit is always with
us. I miss you. I miss so much seeing you and talking with you, and just
listening to your voice and laughter. Your Uncle Rick misses you so much
too. We all do, Ashlie, Jamie, Bryttanie, and your little SPF Xandie.
I am sure that you are so proud of her and that you enjoy watching her.
You are forever in our hearts. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH !!! my love to you.

Another September 11th has passed us by as we commemorated the 4th
anniversary of our loved ones killed on that day. Four years seems like
a long time, especially if you are grieving the loss of a child; it is
a pain that will never go away. I will say that I am healing; I'm
able to feel joy once again; and I have peace in my heart; but, the pain
and sadness run deep into the recesses of my soul. It feels as though
a part of me is missing, a part of my soul is gone. And yet, I feel a
greater compassion for those who suffer, a deeper understanding of the
mysteries of life and death and a renewed sense of purpose to make this
world a little better for our children's children. So, how do we go
about overcoming violence that so pervades our world? The answer my friends
"is blowin' in the wind". The raw truth is that violence
only begets more violence! We must learn a better way to address the underlying
issues that lead to violence: poverty, greed, disease, rape of the environment
and the fear-based need for power and dominance. The horrible tragedy
of September 11th should serve as a motivator for all of us to search
for a higher truth, to grow our love and understanding, to feel the interconnectedness
of all of life at a deeper level, and to eradicate conditions that fuel
the fire of fear, injustice, hate, ignorance and zealotry. War cannot
bring about true peace! Hate cannot teach people to love! The killing
of innocent civilians, whether by us or them, is absolutely wrong! We
must stop the carnage, find ways to resolve our differences without killing
one another, and strive to grow a world in which our grandchildren can
live in peace and harmony. After all, what is the alternative? Much love,
John (Alicia's Dad)

My heart goes out to the Titus famlily. every family that has lost
a loved one in Iraq & Afganistan. This is a beautiful memorial to
her life, love & spirit. Her families love is a great testimant &
inspirational to all who visit here. Like a pebble that is carelessly
tossed in a calm pool of water, the effect radiates outward effecting
everything it touches. If the horrible event of 9/11 made all too clear
is that the evil deed of a few can affect the lives of so many others.
so this memorial should remind us that one persons' love & good
deeds can be just as powerful & everlasting force to touch someones
life as well. Please remember to keep all our soldiers & loved ones
who are still serving & paying with thier lives because of this evil,
in your thoughts & prayers. may your wounds heal, & you find peace.

Ciao, sono un padre di 3 figli piccoli. Non so pensare cosa possa voler
dire perdere un figlio, un'esperienza che non vorrei mai provare.
Vi ammiro per la dimostrazione di amore che state dando al mondo credendo
nella pace. Il problema è che la pace la si fa in due e loro, il
nemico, non la vuole perchè si nutre di odio. Vi ricorderò
nelle miei preghiere e chiederò alla Vostra Alice di essere Angelo
custode dei miei Marco, Luca, Giovanni. Dio vi benedica, Matteo

Its getting closer to the anniversay of the day we lost you, I miss
you dearly and you are on my mind always. When I see young women graduating
from high school or even college I always talk to them using you as an
example. I seen you as a strong, loving, motivated, and willing to go
for your dreams. My sister Abby has now graduated college and I see you
in her she is so amazing. I am so proud of her for taking her dreams head
on. She is strong like you and a huge role model. Thank you for showing
young girls like my sister what independence and finding your own way
really is. You are missed everyday but will never be forgotton. I love
and miss you. Thank you for being such a powful and amazing role model.
To the Titus family my thoughts and prayers are with you everyday. God
Bless You.. Anna

Alicia Nicole Titus- what a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman.
This is the second time I have been on this site and its the second time
I have cried my eyes out. Just reading all the nice things everyone has
written about her chokes me up. To her family- my thoughts and prayers
are with you always. I can only imagine the pain you went through and
are still going through everyday. Just remember she is in a good place
and is always watching over you. Respectfully yours-Shannon Kilcullen

Dear Titus Family- I've been wanting to find you for a long time
now. Well, since Sept. 10, 2002. I was due with my second child on Sept.
12, 2002 and my husband and I could not for ANYTHING come up with a girls'
name. If we were having a boy, it was going to be Nikolas Carlisle. (Carlisle
after my mother-in-laws maiden name) We wanted to keep our second childs
name special, and in the family like our first daughter, Kyleigh Quinn.
(Leigh is my middle name and Quinn is my maiden name). After saying tons
of girls names for almost nine months between my husband, Vinny, and myself
we were beside ourselves not having a girls name. I went to visit my parents
on that day and on the front cover of their local paper was a picture
of the Twin Towers with all of the names of the men and woman who had
so saddly lost their lives on September 11, one year ago. I couldn't
believe all the names! I had to read them all. Well, there in the middle
of the page that just stuck out SO clear was Alicia Nicole Titus. My heart
skipped a beat. Tears came to my eyes, my mom was in kitchen and I said
"ALICIA NICOLE!" She said what a beautiful name! When I got
home, Vinny was doing something in the kitchen, and I walked in and all
I said was "ALICIA NICOLE" and he said "YES!!" I explained
how I came across her name and we both agreed that if we had a girl we
would name her after your beautiful daughter. I've been wondering
for the last few years who she was. WOW! What a gift to your family!!!
Did she ever not smile??? :) We've only been on line for a few months
now and I've showed my family you're daughter. My Alicia Nicole
is going to be 3 years old Sept. 21. I ALWAYS let her and others know
who she is named after. She is always smiling and full of life! Well,
we kept true to keeping her name "special" and even though her
name is not from "our" family name, we are VERY proud to tell
people about the Titus family name where she got it from. So in closing,
I just wanted you to know there is another Alicia Nicole out there full
of life and tons of smiles, named after YOUR Alicia Nicole. God Bless
You And Your Family! Love, Cheri

I am sitting here on the computer with your picture looking right at
me and I smile along with you. I am in this room almost every waking minute
that I am not doing something outside this house with my daughter Ruby
or out riding on the motorcycle. I wanted to let you know Lish that this
past Sunday I took a 75 mile motorcycle ride with the Harley Davidson
Organization out of Fairfield Ohio for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
It was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. I was on the
back of a Harley Davidson and was looking up into the blue skies with
it's white clouds and I saw a large white cloud that was in the shape
of an angle with her wings spread out wide and beautiful and I said Hello
to you Lish because I knew you were rideing right along with me. I made
that ride for you Lish. Because it was as free as you always were and
as you are now. I Love You Sweetheart and Miss You Very Much. God Bless
You Always and Be By Your Side Forever And A Day.

It's the summer solstice - the longest day of the year. I imagine
that is how many days feel for the Titus family, particularly days like
Alicia's birthday. May they all begin to see the red moon rising in
the night sky, may they feel the warm summer breeze caressing their skin,
may they smell the earth and the green that grows around them, and know
that in all this beauty, their sweet daughter is forever near. Many blessings,
much peace, and love, that sweet love that Alicia embodies still... So
may it be, Saskia

June 11th was Saturday and we wanted to let the Titus family know that
again this year, as every year since 9/11 we said a prayer for Alicia.
My son turned 6 on that day. As he grows older we keep hearing from people
what a good person he's turning out to be, kind, caring and thoughtful.
I truly feel that he shares some of the same qualities Alicia did and
it's a result of the birthdate! I hope that your family had a decent
day and please know that there are those of us out there that haven't
forgot! Alicia, may you continue to rest in peace and know that your legacy
will live on forever. Your family truly is a wonderful group and their
dedication to your memory and foundation show it! Happy Birthday Alicia!

On June 11th, it will be Alicia's 32nd birthday; her brother will
be competing for the world championship fitness model competition in Toronto
on that day; he will be joined by his sister and others; and we will be
attending a wedding of a family friend and enjoying our grandchildren
(Logan and Lexi) in Ohio. I feel truly blessed in countless ways and at
the same time, I am deeply sad for our loss. The death of a child has
the power to destroy; or, it has the transformative power to create new
life, deeper love and greater understanding. Through the grace of God,
we are given unconditional love; love that is guided by wisdom for good.
Our choices determine whether or not we allow it to guide our actions.
When I think of the life Alicia lived, the incredible goodness she brought
to us all, the amazing love she manifested, the exhuberant joy she so
readily shared, and the eternal hope she engendered in each of us, I am
affirmed that we must continue to grow these things within ourselves,
to nurture that child of God that lies within, and attempt to do good
in all we do. There is no room for the ego in the spiritual development
of our soul; otherwise, it becomes self-serving, which is not of the Divine.
On June 11th, make an effort to step outside of the ego, reach out to
someone in need and share an "Alicia smile" with all who would
receive it. And, say a little prayer for our world. Alicia is doing her
share to bring about peace and justice, love and understanding; are you
doing yours? A birthday blessing for our dear, sweet Alicia; we miss you
darling. Love, Dad

Lish, Here it is, the eve of Memorial Day and the weekend that accompanies
it. Each year I remember my fallen comrades and their giving their ultimate
sacrifice. I don't know why I never thought of you at this time, but
now I have a new HERO to add to my list, because you also gave the ultimate
sacrifice. Remembering the good times that you, Missy and Jenn had are
very precious. Since I frequently think about you, I know that one day
I will get to see and hug you again. May God's Blessings be with you
and your family each day. With Deep Affection.

Thoughts race through my head of family, days gone by, times of innocence,
laughter, joyousness...but change has jaded these otherwise wonderful
memories. I ponder the last 3 years and 8 months and wonder, what has
happended to our world? Have we, as a country, lost all sense of what
our Creator has intended for us? People cling to their fundamental beliefs
like a life raft and justify the ongoing devastation and killing of over
100,000 innocent civilians in Iraq; the sad part is that we are in a war
that had nothing to do with September 11th nor anything to do with the
original reasons used to justify it in the first place. Does fear drive
people to lose all sense of reason? My hope and prayer is that America
will see through the veil of confusion and open up to the will of our
loving God, the God of all people, the God who sees us all as equal. Let
us strive to break down the walls that serve to divide us and grow our
compassion for those who are suffering or heavy laden. Let there be peace
on earth as it is in heaven. This is what Alicia lived her life for; this
is love and wisdom in action. In remembrance of Alicia, love, Dad.

Hi John, I just saw this website and was truly touched by our time
together. I don't recall if I ever met Alicia, but remember the times
you visited Boston, to run in the marathon. I remember meeting your family,
maybe Alicia was there too, as you say she enjoyed running with you. The
morning of 9/11 was heart breaking, and none of us will ever be the same.
I was heading into Boston for work that day. When I heard about Alicia,
it hurt deeply, because I knew you, and knew you as a caring and vibrantly
outgoing person. So, in having met you, I feel I met your beautiful daughter.
We share a similar belief, that life is unending, and that our loved ones
are always with us. I thank you for the brief times our paths have crossed,
and all of life's friendship that impart a beauty that time and hurt
can't efface. Shalom, Peace my friend, steve

I just wanted to say that the thoughts and prayers of my family go
to the family and friends of Alicia. We cannot fully understand the ways
in which we touch the lives of the people we come in contact with and
yet because of Alicia's gifts there is a place in my heart that reminds
me of the beauty of peace, and hope, and caring for your fellow man.

Yesterday was Easter; in the past it was a time for family, a time
for celebration and worship symbolic of the Resurrection, a time of Easter
baskets, and a time of hope for transcending physical death. Bev and I
spent the day at our cottage by Half Moon Lake and I wrote about Alicia
and the impact her life and death has had upon me and the world. I watched
the movie, "What the Bleep do we Know", which talked about the
impact of our thoughts on ourselves, others and everything around us.
What comes to my very clearly in all of this is the knowing that all of
life is intricately connected in ways we may never entirely understand.
Our thoughts, our attitudes, our prayers and our actions all have an effect
on everything else. Alicia lived her life with a knowing of this reality.
Her shining example is witnessed over and over again in testimonies from
all who knew her and even some who didn't. I am still deeply saddened
by Alicia's premature death but, I know that I must project those
things which I hold dear to my soul, such as, peace, love, compassion,
truth, justice and good works. This is our deepest calling: to make this
world better; this is who Alicia was during her 28 years and 3 months
on this earth. May we all feel this interconnection and the love that
is the essence of life itself. Peace be with you. Alicia's Dad.

When September 11th happened I was unaware of it. I sat in my school
classroom daydreaming and thinking about things as you do. It was only
when I arrived home that I learned of the true horror that was unfolding.
Before September 11th, I didn't know what the World Trade Centre's
were. I hadn't heard of them before. To think that there are as cruel
people as who did this to the world sickens me. I never knew Alicia, but
I feel like I do. I've been to America on several occasions, I flew
with United Airlines to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Fransisco severeal
years ago. Who knows she could've been a flight attendant serving
on my plane. I'd just like to say, my heart and sorrow goes out to
Alicia's family, but remember, although she is gone from your home,
she'll never be gone from your hearts. Alicia will always live on
in my memory, although I never knew her personally.

Hey babe! I miss you so very much and every day something happens to
make me remember how great you are. I've got to be honest that I worry
about your Mom-she misses you so. I wish there was something I could do
to help her, but nothing seems to come to mind, could you help me? I feel
your presence as wierd stuff happens to the kids and myself that only
make me realize that you and Grandpa are always ther for us. My health
just seems to keep falling and I thank you and Daddy for the strength
that you send me. Brandon is approaching his 21st birthday and he and
Drea are expecting Xavier Robert on June 7th, it would be nice if he shared
your birthday. The girls are doing well and they talk about all the time.
I miss you so very much-please keep showing me the faith and hopefully
I can conquer my battles with you and Daddy by my side. All my love, Aunt

I was a previous United employee who worked on the ramp in Chicago
from 1999-2003. September 11 directly hit me because not only did I fuel
and load those particular aircraft, but it also hit home because our working
peers were lost that day to the tragedy. Till this day, I cannot fathom
the overwhelming disbelief that some of us carry with us. When United
released the photos of our fallen employees, your daughter stood out from
crowd with such a vibrant and radiant look about her. To read her bio
and realize that she was only 28, I thought to myself "how sad, she
didn't get to live a full life." I now realize from this website
that IN FACT she did live a full life because every photo shows her abundant
energy and fulfillment of everyday life. You are so very lucky to have
spent the 28 years with Alicia, because some of us weren't so lucky
to meet her in this life. I wish you and your family the best, and remember
that God does work in mysterious ways.

I would like to offer my sincere condolances to the Titus family, her
fiancee' and her many friends.I went through a very similar ordeal
and know how you must feel.I was in San Francisco 9-11-01, and shortly
after saw her name and picture in the local news.After reading about her
on this website, I am sorry our paths never crossed.Although we seemed
to follow in each other,s foot steps to a small extent, as I too, drove
across the country to San Francisco for its charm and splendor, as well
as the small adventure in getting there.Like her I had no job lined up,
in my case not even a place to stay, so she had one over me in that regard.I
arrived in mid September of the same year, just a few weeks before she
did.Again my sincere condolances.Peace be with you and god bless.

and I feel so good about myself today. It has taken me along time to get
myself together. What really feels good is I did it on my own. Every since
I moved back to Urbana and started my new life I have asked myself "What
would Lish do in this situation ?" and it feels like you have been
right beside me saying, "Just be honest to yourself Aunt Bren and
everything will work out" Thanks Lish for being the best niece a
Aunt could have Always and Forever. Your still the best even with your

are the best out of the bunch. The higher power could not have picked
anyone better to watch over us. I know we will meet again. Thanks for
everything Lish as the years go by your spirit gets stronger for me. I
just want to do good and have the peace in giving and wanting to like
life for the day, and most of all accept and appreciate the little things
that I always looked over before. You have left us so many gifts you have

Last week I experienced the extraordinary power of love and the wisdom
of the universe in the birth of my new grandaughter, Alexis Nicole. Alicia's
spirit was fully present and she came to Zac prior to "Lexi's"
birth, confirming the reality that those who have gone before us are still
with us, guiding us, loving us and helping our ailing world toward the
light, towards love and goodness. In this season of hope in which joy
and peace are such an intricate part, I hope that those who are hardened
and filled with hate will feel love in their hearts; those who are lonely
will feel their connection to all of life; those who are afraid and fearful
will feel the power of the holy spirit; and, those who are in pain will
feel joy. I pray that the beautiful, diverse people in this world will
feel the oneness of all of life and know that we are truly brothers and
sisters, all from the same Source. Let us turn our spears into plowshares
and experience the true joy of peace, love, goodness and truth; the essence
of the Christ-child within each of us. I wish all of you the serenity
of peace and the joyousness of love this Christmas season and beyond.
This is the essence of what made Alicia so special. This is the essence
of each one of us. Blessings to all, Alicia's Dad.

Hey Lish. I know your doing ok in your new place. You were taken away
from those who knew and loved you on that rotten day in Sep 2001. But
wherever you are now I JUST KNOW you are ok. And if there is anything
positive to come out of this, it is the fact that although you are physically
gone from this world, you have progressed to the next and one day all
those who loved you and were special to you (especially your family) will
meet you again and boy what a beautiful reunion it will be!! Keep shining

As we approach the end of 2004 and enter the season of hope, love,
peace and goodwill, I would like to say a special prayer for all who are
suffering in this chaotic world of ours. So many people live in poverty
(more than half of the world's population live on less that $2 per
day), forty thousand children die each day due to lack of food, shelter
and healthcare! War and violence is escalating every day. And life goes
on! The saddest part of this devastating scenario is that many of us turn
a blind eye to this. Alicia was very sensitive to these social injustices.
She felt a compassion for those who suffer due to these injustices and,
she strived to make a difference. If we could learn one lesson from Alicia's
life, it would be this: every human life is sacred; all of us are interconnected
as an intricate part of a greater whole (God); and, we must learn to love
our neighbor no matter what their ethnic origin, religion, color, sexual
orientation, handicap or any other perceived difference. Otherwise we're
doomed to a world in which violence, poverty, hatred, fear, and ignorance
thrive. Peace is the natural state of God's creation; love is the
energy that gives us life; understanding gives us meaning in life; and
taking action to make this world better defines our purpose. May the spirit
of Christmas, the birth of the Christ-child within each of us fill your
soul, bring you peace and renew divine love within you hearts. "Let
their be peace on earth and let it begin with me". Blessings of peace
to all, Alicia's Dad

I'm a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, and I came across your
website by accident. September 11, 2001 will always be a day of sadness
for me. I wish your family peace and healing. My thoughts are always with
you.

Hey sweetie, You have been in my thoughts alot lately. Every once in
a while something happens that seems to rip open the wound of losing you.
I sometimes have to search for a reason to believe in humanity when I
listen to the news of the war. My heart breaks when I hear of a woman
that spent her life in humanitarian efforts is killed by the very people
she aspired to help. It makes me feel so much for her family and friends.....and
reminds me of how unfair and cruel the world can be. It is hard to listen
to the news knowing that innocent people are dying every day. It makes
me angry and so very sad. I am searching for the beauty of the world.....and
sometimes I find it. I could always see the beauty of the world when you
were around. I used to feel we were on the edge of critical consciousness
and perhaps the world could evolve to a more peaceful and loving place.
Now I feel that we are a million years away from that. I miss the hope
and belief I used to have in the world. I do find hope in all of the little
tiny souls entering the world around me. I am sure that the new little
one entering into your family will bring an amazing amount of joy to them.
I miss you lovley lady!

On November 3, 2004, we hosted the inaugeral event for the Alicia Titus
Memorial Peace Fund housed at Urbana University. Students, faculty, administration,
community people and news media attended this mometous occasion, which
honors Alicia's life through programs designed to bring about peace
in our violent and war-torn world; hope to the down-trodden; new life
to those who feel oppressed; and compassion to those who feel the cold,
stark reality of life's woes. Our first event included insight into
Alicia's heart and how she impacted many of us, and a workshop by
Gordon Judd on Conflict Mediation with a model to resolve international
conflict. Thank you to all of you who have supported this worthy cause.
We will have many more of similar events in the years to come. To contribute,
you may send donations to The Alicia Titus Memorial Peace Fund, 579 College
Way c/o Urbana University, Urbana, Ohio, 43078. Peace be with you.

I remeber the times I would play with alicia when we were very young
We would only get together a few times a year at my Aunts house (aunt
Nancy) I always thought she was so pretty and wish I could be like her,
And I remember her beutiful Smile and her eyes how they were so bright.
I only Knew her thought family, and friends. But what I Knew of her is
the best you can always remember of a person. I just wish I would have
gotton to know her better. I think of the Titus family a lot I live many
miles away now (due to miltary) I live in Italy with my family. and I
always tell my kids I knew a wonderful girl once and she is a person I
wish they could have met, cause she was so pretty and had a great heart...

Two more weeks and I will be running through the streets of New York
City in the New York City Marathon in Alicia's memory. When she was
younger she would run the last few miles of the marathon with me, cheering
me on, encouraging me, inspiring me and giving me strength. She still
does this in many ways but, I miss her loving hugs, her witty mind and
her free spirited laughter. I fully expect that she will help me in those
desolate last few miles just like she did in the San Francisco Marathon
in 2002. I had asked her to help me the last 6 miles because training
had been problematic. At 19 1/2 miles I "hit the wall". Just
then a young man named Rajeev came by, held out his hand and said, "c'mon,
let's do this for Alicia..." I looked up and could see Alicia's
smiling face in the sky. She stayed with me for the last 6 miles, which
ended up being my fastest 6 miles of the 26.2. Thanks be to all of you
for your kind support and compassion as we venture forth on this marathon
of life. Let's give peace a chance.
