2,977 people were lost on September 11th 2001. The youngest was Christine Lee Hanson, age two and a half, from Massachusetts. Christine was a happy little girl who liked to help her mom Sue and dad Peter in the garden. She liked to talk to the flowers and the vegetables and the trees. When her paternal grandmother Eunice Hanson broke her foot, and was in a cast, little Christine led her grandmother over to a chair. “I help you Nama!,” She exclaimed. Christine ran upstairs and came back with a bandaid that she unwrapped and stuck on her grandmother’s cast. Christine was aboard United Flight 175 with her mother Sue and father Peter when it struck the south tower of the World Trade Center. As we approach the 24th year commemoration of 9/11, let us remember Christine with great honor and great love.
