Monday, January 21, 2002 12:07 AM Compensation Kenneth L. Zwick Office of Management Programs U.S. Department of Justice Fax: 301-519-5956 Dear Mr. Zwick, I am writing to you because my fiancée, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp worked in the World Trade Center and the last time I, or anyone, spoke with him was about 9:20am on September 11. I understand that to please everyone involved will be impossible but I would regret it if I did not write with my concerns. First, family is not always that which is defined by law. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp was born and raised in Scotland; he has no blood relatives in the United States. Since &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and I met he considered New York his home and I, his family. His life was taken before we could make this legal. Secondly, just because &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp life was robbed before we were married does not mean we were any less dependent on each other. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and I lived together and were in every sense married. Am I supposed to miss him less because we were not married? Does not having been married mean that living, eating, sleeping, and waking up alone does not hurt as much? We woke that Tuesday morning and kissed good-bye just like any married couple. He should be considered married under any compensation fund as that is what we were physically and emotionally. The guidelines set forth must be considered on an individual basis. The victims of September 11th died the same way, they did not live the same way. Fiancée's must be considered as the spouse we would have been had this tragedy never occurred. Thank you, Individual Comment New York, NY September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
