I know of Edna as a docent at the 9/11 Museum. As part of our shift at the Museum, we spend an hour speaking at various artifacts. One of our artifacts is a section of twisted column, known as impact steel, which was part of the North Tower's impact zone. I spoke in front of that section of column for a few years before I realized that Edna was present in a photograph alongside. I now make Edna a part of my talk and point her out in the photograph. Telling her story is important to me. It honors her memory and the sacrifice she made. God bless you Edna. I know you have found peace.

Got here by accident and after reading all the beautiful stories about you, I couldn't help but leave a little prayer for you and all your colleagues that were brutally taken. May God grant your soul eternal rest and comfort your family. I pray that one day, humans would love more than they hate, save more than they destroy and live in peace together as one.

I will never forget when I first saw Edna. An amazing woman, who should never be forgotten or ignored. I remember her often. Peace to all good people. X

Years has pass since the worst day in my entire life. Well I am William Cintron Daughter and Edna was my Mother she promise that she will be here and i would be ok But that didn't Happened. All my dad which i haven't spoke to for a period of time Im So Angry he mention me or his Son William jr and how i was there even if i lived away my mom was not happy and she was indeed Strong. To put up with his lies and adultery he was always about him selve and never even cared cause i sit in Arizona alone without the one person who really loved me an Will jr. Im so ashamed to even try to call my dad yes got so much and cause so much pain poor but making it! While he sits with no cares in the world i stop speaking to him after i decided to live my life and finally follow steps as Edna brought me to the women i am to fend for my self never lean on a man i did what she told me thinking he be proud instead he turned his back on me when i ask for just 200$ dollars to an apartment of my own cause i was working and single mom. Please understand i am not playing any type of trick or sympathy i been watching family video and clipping anything that helps me understand why all this happen I've totally change so broken and dark with all this anger while he is living all his ways. She died broken i know this for a fact! I died with her crying and (480) 842-0310

I finally know who is the waving woman, Edna on behalf of every single person that died because of the terrible day of september 11, I would like to send out my condolences to all, Edna I think you are an inspiration to all in terms of bravery and going strong. God bless you all.

I did not know you, but I will never forget you. You were a beautiful woman, and you are now even more beautiful in the presence of the Lord. You have left these earthly bonds for something better, something brighter. While we feel the sadness of our loss, and those whom we lost with you, we rejoice that you are in a better place. We will meet again. This is our hope - our dream. Rest peacefully, Edna, you are not forgotten.

i was there

As I seat here remembering this terrible day when so many love ones were lost, I can’t stop thinking of you and how much fun we used to have when we worked together Marsh. I want you to know that I still have the plant you gave me and that is growing as beautiful as you. The kids and I call it the “Edna Plant”. I hope you could see us from above so you could see how much we hurt by not having you here among us. Forever in my heart you will be. =-) Lily

On this day of Sept 11, 2008 I remember you. My son who is two now will know of his aunt Edna. After the stories and laughs I will teach him that everyday is a beautiful day and to live as though it will be our last. Forgive when angry, laugh when sad and when ever you can have a great big belly laugh! To do his best at everything he does and to love and respect all. Everyone has something to teach us. Take the time to listen and we will learn the beauty of people…… I won’t make the mistake again of losing someone before I can tell them how much they meant to me. We miss you and will forever hold your spirit in our hearts! Love you, Your niece, Angie and Tyler I miss you

Im constantly thinking about you it hurts to accept that your gone but I know your doing better than anyone else here because your with God in paradise god bless RIP Mi Tia

We still remember you Edna.. May the world never forget the cruelty that harmed you and others, and i hope some day the truth will be widely spread. As Robert Johnson said.. You are the proof. You will never be forgotten. Bless you, Edna..

Edna left a beautiful memory for all of us that knew her to enjoy. While she is truly missed, may her memory NEVER die.

Please may your example not be in vain. May my daughter never have the same end. Please, everybody live with dignity and real care for all so that not one person on this small earth will desire themselves to cause harm to another. You have my vote for person of the world from the beginning of time until the end of everything.

The image of Edna standing in the opening left by the plane hitting the tower proves that there were no fires there hot enough to melt giant steel beams. I feel it was God's will to have Edna stand there as proof that she and the others in those towers were murdered by Neo Cons inside our own government. Bless you Edna! We love you!

I am just a person,helpless that day like all the rest. I could barely stand seeing you there I unable to help, yet there you stood still hopeful.It was the worlds loss,we need more tiger ladies like you. We have all become weak running from the memory...yet unable to forget. I will always see your image standing tall amidst the inconcievable.I am glad to know about you what an impresive strong woman you are. Now Heaven is your home,no more fear,you are safe now. Your beloved husband and family are in my prayers with all those families to whom this will remain an event not to be forgotten. God Bless

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP TO ALL OF EDNAS FAMILY ,

I remember you smiling every evening, while sitting infront of Sweet Williams flower shop, never a frown in your face. Now smiling from the HEAVENS, now an Angel up above. Always remembered, never forgotten. God Bless you Edna. From El Barrio 116th Street 1st avenue and Pleasant Avenue to you up in Heaven. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

hello its been awhile since i last saw you in my dream but i wont ever forget you edna your fro, hair i loved it and your big brown eyes always captivate my sould and your buitful mind and thought a little crazy but as a budd, you were just fine sorry to see you leave this earth so soon , cause now living on this planet now , is very fucked up cause all the politics in the aftermath of 9/11/01 some say its better off now to be dead but i love ya and miss ya so

I put you down as a friend, Edna, as we are all friends. I have been haunted for so long by your picture standing at that gaping hole, and then the picture of you in your cube, ....having a cubicle brings all of us cubicle gophers closer. I am a singer-songwriter and want to let you know that my song (which lacked a name until I found this site, quite by accident) might perhaps in some small way honor you. As you stood at the precipice, you were the lonliest girl in the world, but you are lonely no more. Many thanks to MMC for providing this beautiful tribute site. Rest well.

When I saw the photo in an Australian Newspaper shortly after 9/11 of a woman standing at the edge of the damaged WTC building, my mind could not settle to wonder who would this person be. I felt as helpless and shocked, by looking at this mind imprinting photo, as probably a thousand others onlockers had experienced ! But I always wondered who is this person, whom I gave the name 'The loneliest woman in the world.' Always trying to imagine her feeling at that particular time, standing at the edge of the tower, on a perfect September morning, looking down, over Manhatten and knowing nobody would be able to help, to reach a hand or at least call some hope, even if it was impossible. The strength she displayed standing at the abyss on both feet, holding on to the edge of twisted metal, and facing her ultimate destiny, must be beyond anyones imagination. Purely by acident I discovered this website and could finaly rest my thought about this unknown woman, by being able to learn about her name and who she was. Even though, four years have passed by, I still wish to express my sympathy to the husband and friends who were close to Edna. Edna remains in my mind an example of our limitations, and when each and all of us fellow human beings have to pass on, we have to go it all alone.

Edna was like a 2nd mom to me. She and her spouse took me in their life like another one of their children. I remember all the great times we had at the the flower shop they both owned 'Sweet William Flower Shop' in spanish harlem. Everytime Edna came over on the weekend we had a blast. I want to say thanks to both her and her spouse for taking me in and giving me the chance to learn what life is all about. I will never forget the wonderfull holidays we spent together when Enda cooked and invited me over to her home in Queens,NY. We ate so much. I hope you are watching from up above and leading us in the correct path. You are truely missed. Hope to see you soon mamita. 'Que Dios te bendiga y descansa en paz mamita querida' Love always Javier Cruz-Rodriguez

I will always remember your smile and warm heart. Always willing to give and share. The lunches and shopping along Fulton Street, your favorite perfume 'White Diamonds'. My prayer is that you did not suffer and my life is more fulfilled and rewarding knowing that our paths did cross in our lifetime. Lena Simmons 9/11/2002 - 5:15 PM

Edna, You were believed to have a heart of Iron, I prayed that you did not suffer. Through all and all, I understood your emotions and I hope that you are in a safe and happy haven. Martha Soto.
