as a resident of Staten Island, NY right across the water from The World Trade Center,

and one who has been narrowly spared the agony of losing several immediate family members to this tragedy, Robin, Roxanne, and I, "The Toys", offer up our prayers and sympathy to the families of those who lost their lives that day. We also pray for and thank the members of "New York's Bravest" and "New York's Finest", many of whom risked and lost their lives trying to save others. We also want to thank all the volunteers and organizations who saw the opportunity to help in some way and took it.  We will never forget.
