Ana Centeno

If you could not find Ana Centeno in her office at Marsh & McLennan, then she was one of two places: at the gym, or on the track at Hudson County Park in Bayonne, N.J. An avid runner, Ms. Centeno spent so much time running that her family held a candlelight memorial service on the track at Hudson County Park, and her picture is still there.

'She had dancing eyes,' her brother, Jesus Centeno, said. 'She was very athletic and when she went for something, she achieved it.'

Ms. Centeno, 38, was an accountant and a good friend to many. 'It's hard to be without her,' said Diana Rodriguez, who said Ms. Centeno 'was just like a sister to her' even when she had just begun to date Jesus Centeno years ago. 'Ana was just Ana, lovable, sweet. She made me feel comfortable when I first met her 17 years ago and we'd been like sisters ever since.'

I didn't know Ana, or anyone personally who passed on 9/11/01, but I think I speak for millions of your fellow Americans when I say that you will never be forgotten. Condolences to all who loved you. May you find peace, and comfort in your memories.

On Monday night, September 10th, 2001, I was at the gym with Ana. She was helping me use the Nautilus machines. When I left she said, 'See you tomorrow?' 'Yes', I said, 'See you tomorow.' And then tomorrow never happened. She was a good person and I'll never forgot her.
