An annual family reunion, and some closure
September 11 now brings an annual family reunion for Elizabeth Moore, 52, of Macon, Ga.
Her brother, Larry Bowman, of Queens, was killed in 2 World Trade Center -- the South Tower -- on Sept. 11, 2001. He worked there as a security guard.
Every year, relatives from as far away as California travel to New York to remember him.
Sunday morning, members of the family wore matching white T-shirts that bore Bowman's picture and the words "Never Forgotten."
Hearing his name read among the thousands killed in the terrorist attacks was tough, Moore said.
"Our hearts sunk," she said, explaining that the ceremony underscored the fact that Bowman is gone.
Still, she said, being near Ground Zero on the 10th anniversary brought the family a measure of comfort.
"It feels as though I can really put closure to it," Moore said. "It's the time span. We will never forget, but it's time to put closure to it. He's gone and not coming back."
