In Memory of Sharon Cristina Millan Paz
Sharon Cristina Millan Paz
September 11 2001 started out like every other day. I was half awake and half asleep, snuggling with Claude (my cat) and admiring a clear blue sky over the river. And then it all changed forever. My housemate came in to make sure I was awake, I was definitely awake and changing channels like crazy to see if it was real. It was real.
I don't remember how I ran across the 2,996 site but when I did I signed up immediately. It didn't matter what person's name I was given, I just wanted to be a part of this because I, along with so many others, have not forgotten or healed completely from the events of 9/11.
Sharon Cristina Millan Paz was 31 years old on 9/11. She worked for Harris Beach LLP as an office coodindator. The Harris Beach offices were on the 85th floor of the South Tower. Five employees were killed on 9/11, Sharon, 2 lawyers and two office workers.
Sharon was a beautiful young woman from Colombia with a positive outlook on life and a smile that lit up the room. She lived in New Jersey and was in love with her boyfriend. She had a large family and many friends who are still missing her and trying to understand how someone so special can be taken so early. She was daughter, sister, cousin and friend.
What is evident about Sharon is how much those around her felt she touched their lives. The words left in memory at Legacy.com and the 9/11 Victims Site are testament to just how much she mattered to the people around her. That's something not everyone has, the power to truly leave an impact on the people that wander in and out of your life and it's a power Sharon apparently had.
Five year later friends and loved ones are still shedding tears and remembering Sharon Cristina Millan Paz in her Legacy Book and their words speak better than anything I could come up with. I didn't know Sharon but I think I would have liked her and I think we would have gotten along.
To all of Sharon's friends and family I can only offer my condolences and thoughts and assure you that Sharon has not been forgotten by the world. I spent some quiet time today thinking of all that is good in my life and I did it with thoughts of Sharon and the smile she brought to so many, she was the good in so many lives.
Sharon Cristina Millan Paz. Gone but never forgotten, remembered by myself and so many others today.
