Where were you on 9/11?

I didn't even hear from her till like around 7 pm. All the phone lines were down and or busy. Shit was crazy..... She said when the tower fell she had to run inside a store b/c of all of the dust and smoke .

What company did she work for?

The company my mom worked for had about 8 floors in one of the buildings. She worked for them for about 14 years and knew , worked with and trained with people all over the east coast. In 2000, the company did some restructuring and closed a few offices, my mom's office and their sister office in Memphis were two that were closed. The company generously offered large payouts to the employees or a chance to transfer in a fully paid for move to any office in the country.... it was a wonderful opportunity and a lot of people took it and moved all over the place. Some that my mom knew well went to NYC headquarters for great jobs and a new life. Mom took the money because she didn't want to move.... but many did.

Mom worked for Marsh insurance. I'm sure a lot of you have seen their building in Buckhead.

She could barely stand to watch once they starting releasing the names on TV... I would sit there with her and she would read them off and start talking about the person... "last time I talked to him he was telling me about his kids softball games".... "she was the person that trained me when I started my job...."
