Memories of Laurence Nedell

Daughter remembers his 'contagious' laugh

My name is Jennie Nedell and I unfortunately am among those that lost a loved one on September 11th. I lost my father that horrific day. I cannot believe its going to be 10 years and still feels and hurts like just yesterday.

My dad was always so selfless and he proved it up to his last breath. He went back in to help another co-worker and was last seen carrying that gentleman on his back on the 72nd floor. My father is a hero like all lost that horrible day. I have the most amazing family and friends that I find my strength in. My mother and my sister are two of the strongest women I know and we all lean on each other for support. I try and live my life every day for him, to make him proud in hopes of being half the person he was. We all miss him so much from his giving heart to his contagious laughter.
