I only met Sue a few times. This does not give me license to speak about her, but it makes the effect that her death had on me all the more revealing in terms of the kind of person she was. Based on the pain and sense of loss that was evident at the memorial for her at the Medical School last Wednesday, there were many people who were profoundly touched not only by Sue's death, but, more importantly, by her life. And it must be said that this response was not simply a question of 'losing one of our own' - there was something special about Sue Kim that touched people in a profound way. I cannot express the pain - emotional, of course, but also physical - as I read the email indicating what had happened to her and her family. This response for a woman I hardly knew, but who, during our few contacts, had left an indelible impression of joy and energy and enthusiasm and spirit. I can not express my pain. I can not imagine the pain of those who knew her well and loved her.

For such a beautiful young family to be taken like this from our world is horrifying. But they are in a better place now, together. May they rest in peace and help us see the light.

The So. Cal. B.U. Alumni are having a memorial service for Lisa Frost, The Hanson Family, Mark Bavis & other victims, on Thurs. Eve, 7:00p.m. @ 1st Congregational Church of Los Angeles, 540 So. Commonwealth Ave. L.A., CA. Rev. Dr. Steve Berry will officiate. We would love to have all victims' family members. Attend. Peace.

My heart breaks for the loss of this beautiful family, as well as the loss of all the other human beings in this terrible tragedy. I have two young children of my own, and I weep every time I see the name or picture of one of the children who died last week. To the family and friends of the Hansons: Please know that the thoughts and prayers of the entire world are with you at this time. Peace.

The loss of this beautiful young family deeply disturbs me. Every time I see a picture of little Christine, I weep. It is hard for me to understand how anyone can take such an innocent life. My heart breaks.

I have a two year old son and I can't imagine how horrendous, terrible, awful, unbearable it would be to know that not only did I have to die but my baby did too. God bless them. Every life lost in this senseless tragedy is terrible, but this seems especially terrible to me. I hope they are all at peace together now, away from the terror and the fear.

The whole world mourns.. The darkest history of mankind........ I will always remember those innocent souls as long as I live. Let them rest peacefully in heaven.

Dear Pete, It has been a while. The last we talked you were selling copiers and were looking for something else. I learned yesterday, at your memorial, that greater things had come. You became a father with a beautiful girl. Your career has gone great. Sue had attained her PhD. You and Sue have accomplished a lot. But you both knew it was the ride that counted. You lived and loved life to its fullest. I am happy that we got to know each other, I am sorry that it was fleeting. I think our similar families could have had many laughs. I will think of you, Sue and Christine every Christmas, as my family decorates our tree with your ornaments (and what a deal it was!) Thanks Pete for being you. May you, Sue and Christine rest in peace, eternally, together.

I never knew any of you, but my heart breaks to see such beautiful people being victims of unnecessary violence and hatered. No one had to suffer like this. We will remember you. And never let this happen again.

My heart breaks when I see that this family was completely taken away from this world because of selfish acts of terrorism. It angers me and yet I am filled with sadness. I hope that wherever the Hanson family is now, they are happy and they are together. I am filled with tears, even if I never knew you. I still cannot believe how they could do this, especially having an inncocent soul like little Christine on board. My thoughts ard prayers are with you.

I attended the Memorial Service at BU for this beautiful family because I and my husband are friends of a family member. I didn't know these three people, but their loss touched me. As did all the other innocent people who perished that day. Nothing can be said that will ease the pain but, time will do some healing. I was just so very impressed by Christine's Grandfather extolling her virtues. He was so full of love and his words were joyful as he spoke of her time with this family. He made me feel like I had known her and was privy to all the little things she may have done and said to bring joy to their lives. I sincerely hope that the love for these three wonderful people will sustain their families and that they rest in peace in a place much more beautiful than this world.

Being only a senior in high school, during the attacks of September 11 made me grow up fast and brought alot of tears. I did not know of anyone personally from the attacks but was touched anyway. I hope to become part of Boston University in the year 2004, I pray for the foregotten souls.

bless! be happy in the paradise!

God Bless the family...my prayers go out to the family and my hopes for a future of happiness. My Gratitude and sincerity..love Kathryn McDermott

What a beautiful family. They had great things in store for them. Little Christine was beautiful. God bless the Hanson Family.

Such a tragedy for their families. To lose them all at once was an unbearable burden, but they all came together with love and support. They are all loved and missed.

Ten years passed. I will never forget you. I remember every minute of that day in the Pulmonary Center, and it still hurts. What can I say...I only hope you and your little family are with God now.

Sue always came to work with a giant infectious smile on her face. She loved to laugh with people. Her joy belied her depth and strength of character. I looked forward to work everyday because I knew that she would do or say something to make me smile and laugh. Peter and Sue were soul mates. I just found pictures of their beautiful wedding. Quirky smart and fun might be one description of them. But they were also seriously committed to making this world a better place through understanding, tolerance and the scientific method. I left the BU Pulmonary Dept. a year before 9/11 and I lost touch with Sue and Peter. The last time I saw them was shortly after they had moved to Groton and Christine had been born. They threw a party. When I left the party in the late afternoon Sue walked me to the front door holding Christine in her arms her giant smile unfailing as she said goodbye to me and closed the door stepping back into her perfect life. They were great people. The world is so much better that they were part of it.
