| To light a candle, e-mail me with your first name, where you're from, and a few words. I type them in myself every few days, so be patient. I've had to leave out a handful that were about theories or politics, and one that was just cruel. Everything else goes in. The newest candles are at the top. |
| Maureen, Scranton, Pennsylvania · 9/21/99 Happy anniversary in heaven, John and Carolyn. Thank you, Gerard, for keeping this page up. |
|
| Tomas, Miami, Florida · 9/14/99 I picked up the new George at the airport and had to sit down. The magazine goes on. I hope they keep it good for him. |
|
| Adrienne, Providence, Rhode Island · 9/2/99 Brown '84. He was a year ahead of me and he held a door for me in the library once and said "after you." That's my whole story. I've told it about a hundred times this summer. Gerard: It's a good story, Adrienne. Keep telling it. |
|
| Clement J., Chicopee, Massachusetts · 8/23/99 I was a young soldier stationed in Washington in November 1963, and I was in the crowd outside St. Matthew's when that little boy saluted. I am 58 years old and I never thought I would outlive him. God bless the whole family. |
|
| Lisette, Montreal, Quebec · 8/11/99 From Canada, a candle for the three of them. We watched the news every night in July like it was our own family. |
|
| Bernadette, Old Saybrook, Connecticut · 8/1/99 Please remember Lauren too. Everyone talks about John and Carolyn. Lauren was somebody's daughter and she was 34 and she had her whole life ahead of her. Gerard: You're right. I've added her name at the top of the main page. Thank you for reminding me. |
|
| Declan, Boston, Massachusetts · 7/27/99 Born November 1960 too, Gerard. Salem Hospital. We're the same age as him, and I feel about ninety this week. |
|
| Kathleen, Hyannis, Massachusetts · 7/24/99 The whole town has been so quiet. There are flowers at the end of every road down to the water. We are praying for all of them. |
|
| Darla, Tulsa, Oklahoma · 7/22/99 My mother saved all the magazines from that week in November 1963. Today I got them down from the closet and found the picture of the salute and looked at it for a long time. Rest in peace, sweet boy. |
|
| Frances, Worcester, Massachusetts · 7/19/99 Gerard, it's your Auntie Fran. Your mother would have been so proud of this page. She always said you two were twins. Love you, honey. |
|
| Gerard, Worcester, Massachusetts · 7/18/99 The first candle. For John, for Carolyn, and for Lauren. For their families. And for my mother, who would have been heartbroken. |
