Two Familes

On September 11, 2001, thousands of people went off to work and never came back. For those who lost family members in the worst terrorist attacks in the history of the United States of America, the agony had just begun.  

The Diehl family of Brick, NJ and the Booker family of Newark, NJ lost husbands and fathers. When her husband Michael died at The World Trade Center, Lois Diehl was left with a teen-aged daughter and a college-aged son.  

Sharon Booker was left to take care of three children under age 5, including two rambunctious twins, when her husband Sean also died in one of the towers.
