Four Lives: Their Faith and Fears

By day, they have been leaders and heroes. By night, they have fought anxiety and an incalculable sense of loss. This is the story of how a widow, a general, a key Bush adviser and Pakistan’s president braved the fires of September 11.

Sept. 9 issue — Downstairs, in Lisa Beamer’s spacious home in Cranbury, N.J., is a coat closet crammed with things she never wanted to own. Large plastic containers filled with thousands of letters and postcards from all over the world, some addressed to “Lisa Beamer, New Jersey, USA,” or “Lisa, hero Todd’s wife, New Jersey”; songs and poems from strangers; cushions and blankets emblazoned with the Lord’s Prayer; enough homemade “Let’s Roll” mementos to stock a gift shop.

Very few people walking this earth impress me more than this lady!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

She is a classy, brave, wonderful lady that I pray for.
In her daily life... the reality of no husband...no dad... makes me cry to think about; her deep lonliness shes faces night and day, must be heart wrenching.

God bless the Beamer family and the family of EVERY brave person who decided to fight in that plane. That was the Soul of America, on board that plane. It was Eagles Up. And it WILL be Eagles Up for many years, God willing, even when the foes are subdued.

Boy, don't you wish you had the power to help end the suffering of people like her? If only we could do something to make it better.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I hear ya, but she will be richly rewarded in heaven one day when she joins her husband. Until then all's we can do is pray for her strength.

God bless her BIGTIME!!!!

IMHO He did. Her husband and the others on flight 93 gave more than their lives, they gave us hope. He died a hero, and will long be remembered for what he and the others did.
