I went to school with Moira and she stood out as a great person who would do anything to help anyone. I am proud to call her friend and she is my hero. I just got a NYPD memorial cap today and will proudly wear this for Moira and for the brave NYPD officers who saved who they could in the attack.

Moira, your sacrifice on September 11 was not in vain as thousands of people were saved because of you and your peers. You are a real hero. You have left a little daughter, Patricia, who will grow up without you, but you will be watching and guiding her every day of her life. She misses you, but is very proud of you and will think of you every day. May you rest in peace, for you are not alone.
