Monday, February 04, 2002 3:24 PM Victim Compensation Fund Comments Although the deadline for comments may have passed, I feel compelled to write my thoughts on how this fund has been set up. My husband, was in the South Tower on the floor attending a meeting. This was not where his office was located. He worked in Stamford, Connecticut. He was 59 years old, a dedicated husband, father and employee. We were married for 38 years and were high school sweethearts. He raised three wonderful, productive sons all of whom are serving society. He was looking forward to retiring having worked since he was 15 years old. Since he traveled so much on business, he took out extensive life insurance. He wanted to be sure that if anything happened to him, I would be taken care of. HE DID NOT PAY FOR INSURANCE OUT OF HIS PAY TO INDEMNIFY THE AIRLINES! I am not a young woman. While I do not have dependent children, my options for building a future life are limited. How do I start to rebuild a life when I have been with my husband since I was 15 years old? What is this worth in pain and suffering? Why should any monies I have received have anything to do with the amount of compensation I would be entitled to receive from the Federal Government? Both my husband and I have more than contributed to our society. Now, in addition to having suffered this horrendous loss, we will be penalized for being the pillars of society. We have been the tax payers from whom you got and are getting the money to finance this fund. We are the planners, the savers and the providers of future generations. Tell me....do you really believe this is the way to repay the dedication of a wonderful man and his family?
