PAIN AND SUFFERING - 250,000

Good afternoon,

My name is &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp.  I lost my sister, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp at the WTC on
September 11th.  She worked on the &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp Floor in Tower 1.  &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp was
29 and single and did not get an opportunity to get married and have
children.  First of all, I think the single victims families are not
being recongized.  There were an awful lot of single peopole working at
the WTC.  The single victims families are "THEIR PARENTS."  Those that
left spouses and children have an opportunity to eventually start a
"new" life.  Spouses can remarry if they choose, the children have a
part of their mother or father in them, and grandparents of these
children have a part of their child in the grandchild. But what do the
single parents have.  The amount of 250,000 is so ridicuoulsly low.  I
read in the paper last week in my home town, a car accident settlement
was 250,000 and the person is alive. How does Master Feinberg know what
pain and suffering the vicitms encountered.  We just buried a body part
of my sister, how do we know that she didn't suffer and wasnt alive for
a while suffeirng.  Feinberg wasnt there and has no idea.  This amount
should be raised or if not this, then not deduct life insurance.  Why
are the vicitms that protected their loveds ones through life insurance
being penalized.  Other victims that didnt have life insurance, were
maybe lazy and never did iti or didnt want to spend the extra money.
These issues need to be taken into condeiration. I thought I heard
Feinberg was going to take into consideration each family individaully.
Please email be back with your thoughts on these matters.

thank you.
