These
are tributes from Nicole's Family And Friends:
To my sweet baby girl, I miss
you, your family misses you so much! It's been four years
but yet it seems as only yesterday. We had a big celebration
with our family and friends and played video's of you and
we sang songs to you as we always do. We always include you
in everything and I'm so thankful that we can do this. You
are loved by so many and ones that did not know you are getting
to know you now through us. I have always said you will live
through me now and I feel you are. I have learned to enjoy
life more now and so has the family for we all spend much
more time together and we know that you are always with us
by all the signs you give and we know your laughing and smiling
, for we talk about this all the time, and cheering us on.
I know your dancing right along with us in HEAVEN and we will
all be together when it's our time to leave this earth. You
will be there to greet me with your loving open arms and once
again I will be able to hold you! Until than we will keep
you with us, we'll cry, laugh, dance, sing and enjoy life
with you right by our side keeping us going for we know you’re
here, my butterfly, I love you so much my precious daughter,
Love forever, MOM
Hi Cathy, just wanted to let
you know that I was thinking of you and Nicole today. I just
finished watching the movie on Flight 93. It is so hard to
believe that it has been 4 years. It seems that life does
go on and things do get just a little bit easier, but on days
like today it isn't too easy. That movie brought back so many
feelings for me, I can't even imagine how you must feel. It
just makes me so mad and sad and thankful all at the same
time. I have a candle lit for Nicole and she will be in my
prayers tonight as always. Love always, Shari
Nicole, Sometimes I look up
into the night sky at the tiny stars and think about how far
away you are. It's then that I think I can almost see those
stars winking.....as if to say they're watching over us both,
keeping us together in spirit. And it's also then that a kind
of contentment and peace fill my heart...because even though
the world is so big, the stars seem to tell me what I already
know deep down inside.... our love is bigger than any distance
between us could ever be. I miss you Nicole, love Auntie Lynn
It has been 4 years now since
the day my best friend, Nicole, became an Angel in heaven.
Although all these years have passed, I remember that
day so vividly as if it were yesterday. Nicole...I want you
to know that I am constantly thinking about you and hoping
you are up there looking over
me. Last night I went to a party your mom had celebrating
your life....it is still so unbelievable that you are gone.
I love you and miss you and just wish I could tell you to
your face how important you are/were in my life. You are forever
in my thoughts and prayers and will forever be my best friend!

Hi Nicole, Well, I've been
here all afternoon and we watched our life together on assorted
Video's, that your mom played, but the memory of our life
together can barely compare to the accounts on video. I remember
the line dancing at our house on Bellbrook....at the park.....I'm
old now- but I still remember every time you were there and
remember more the times that you couldn't be here and we miss
you so much, See you in Heaven-- love, Aunt Lynn
Nicole, Everyone is here in
Celebration of your life. We all miss you and it saddens us
all to think of our loss. Even though we know all the Angels
in Heaven have a new best friend. You will always be in our
Hearts and in our prayers. Love always, your cousin Flint
and girlfriend Desiree
Nicole, We miss you. We love
you, we will be dancing in HEAVEN with you soon!!!! Love,
Diane
Nicole, another year has gone
by.....and another year we are missing you. Every time I think
about you I regret not getting to know you better. It has
made me get closer to the rest of the family. I will forever
miss you and will always love the beautiful woman that you
are! Love, your cousin Jessica
Nicole- I can't believe another
year has gone passed! It's so amazing to hear all the stories
of your presence here. See you in Heaven! Love Tiffany and
Sarina
Nicole, My cousin whom I love
very much. I hope your enjoying HEAVEN! I know your watching
over my husband, my son and I. We love you with all our hearts.
Love Kristal, David and baby Derril

celebrating your young beautiful life as we will always do.
We will never forget you sweetheart, you are always in our
hearts and our life's. We miss seeing your smiling face. Miss
you and love you always! Aunt Debbie Uncle Jay and Cousin

I am very sorry for your loss
I'm angry just thinking about it, but I know that doesn't help.

I accidently stumbled across your
site. I was looking up 9/11 victims and randomly clicked on Nicole's
name and followed the link to your website. I am sitting her in tears.
Being a mother of twin girls, I can't even imagine the pain you went
through and continue to each day. One thing is for sure, you can tell
that Nicole had an amazing family to work so hard on such a beautiful
website. You can tell she was a vibrant young lady who enjoyed her
family, friends but more importantly life. Thank you for making such
a precious site and sharing it with the world. She was truly loved
by her friends and family.

I accidentally found your site and
started reading all the wonderful tributes to Nicole. As the 4th anniversary
of 9/11 nears, I find myself thinking about that day. I recently gave
birth to a baby girl, and as a new Mother, often think about what
I would do if anything ever happened to her. I immediately burst into
tears as I read the heartfelt messages written about your special
daughter and sister. Please know that although I have never met your
daughter, my deepest thoughts and prayers are with the victims and
their families of 9/11. We all have been affected in various ways
by this tragic event. I cannot imagine the pain of your loss, but
be comforted in knowing that we all pray for you and wish you well.
I was just visiting the Nicole Miller
Memorial website. We still have
the pictures you left us displayed in the Peace Barn.
Please consider adding a link to the
new Peace Barn website:
http://www.peacebarn.org
The new website has a beautiful online
Flight 93 Memorial with pictures
and biographies of all the passengers and crew. You can view Nicole's

I am a little embarrassed to say how
i came upon your site...looking
for a dress to wear to a friends wedding..i typed into google..nicole
miller (the designer)...i scrolled down the page and there was your
site.
We are about to acknowledge the 4th
anniversary of 9/11. The saddest
day of my life to date. I didn't loose anyone i knew in that
horrible event but my heart truly broke as an American citizen...as
a
god fearing individual...that there are people who would kill
innocent Americans/non Americans in such a horrible manner in the
name of "their god"...not my GOD.
The loss of your beautiful daughter/sister/friend....was
for no good
reason but the violent hatred of our freedoms. She was a beautiful
person from your sites view....please know that not a day goes by
in
my life as i sit at my desk that i don't think about the thousands
of
people doing the same simple things...going to work...when their
lives were taken so abruptly and without reason.
Bless you all!

Dear Nicole and family,
It is coming up on 4 years since that awful day! Our thoughts and
prayers continue on for you and your family. God only takes the BEST!
You will always be remembered!
Sincerely,
Mary (Heidi's Aunt), Kelsey and Melanie Heater
It is coming up on the 4th year since
your daughters death. The pain will never go away, it will never fade,
it will never weaken, she will never be forgotten. The only thing
that changes, is you learn how to cope with the pain and the heartache.
The hardest thing in life is losing a child, no matter how old they
are. It's not supposed to work that way. We are supposed to bury our
parents, and our children are supposed to bury us.
Your daughter stood up on UA 93 and fought to save other peoples lives,
not her own. She sacrificed her own life so that other people could
continue on with their life. Her passing was not in vain. Stand proud
for what your daughter did, she passed a hero to our country.
Sincerely,
Kassie L. Weisgable
I sit this 911 morning, with tears
in my eyes, looking at this touching tribute to your daughter, and
your love of her.
I am so sorry for all your pain, but so grateful to you for sharing
her with us. Today at mass I will pray for your family, your daughter,
and all that we lost on 9/11/01.
Thank you

I used to work with Nicole at Leeds
Shoe Store in the Oakridge Mall. Every year I come to this site and
enjoy revisiting her beautiful smile. We were born two days apart,
my birthday was March 2, 1980 and every year, on the 4th, I wish her
a happy birthday. Nicole, I am sorry we never stayed in touch. I truly
enjoyed working with you and visiting you at Chili's. I will never
forget the last time I saw you. You are an amazing person and I will
truly never forget you. You and your family are in my prayers. I know
you are a beautiful angel and each morning your smile makes the sun
shine. God bless.
Love,
Teri (McCarty) Kiefer
I just finished reading "Among
the Heroes" and I have always been touched and humbled by the
courage of the passengers of Flight 93. My aunt lives in Washigton
DC just a few minutes from the Capitol. Who knows-Nicole and her fellow
passengers may have saved my aunt's life that day. I have but one
wish for Nicole, her family, and friends:
PEACE

I just wanted to say thank you to
Nicole Miller. I know I didn't know you but I feel like you saved
the capitol, along with all the other heroes on Flight 93. Thank you.
And to Nicole's family, I think of you all every 9/11
God Bless and keep praying,

Hello,
my name is Freddy (21) from Germany
and i want to say that iam thinking on
her! RESPEKT to you!!! With love... God bless the world!!!
To Nicole and family~
The memories from 4 years ago still feel like yesterday. I will never
forget this day or Nicole Miller. I was a childhood friend. We attended
Brett Heart Middle school togther...she was my lego partner in Mr.
Flangans 8th grade science class =) We went off to seperate high schools
but still ran into each other over the 4 years in high school...either
at the softball field or in the mall. I was so shocked to hear Nicole
was lost on that day...I am still surprised to this day. The world
is so small...a tragdy thousands of miles from my house still hit
home. I pray for peace in the life of Nicole's family. We will all
meet again in a greater place.
Love to all.
Mandy Freeman
God bless you and Nicole

I just wanted to say that I am truly
touched by Nicole Miller and the passengers and crew of flight 93.
I am sure that it has been said many times before by many people that
loved them, but I sincerely feel their presence in my life. I recently
watched the special on the Discovery Channel of the "Flight That
Fought Back". Even though I did not know them, I am so proud
of them all. I wish the best for all of the families as well in the
future.
Sincerely and with Love,

It is 9/11/05 and this is my second
email to you about Nicole...my first one
was shortly after 9/11/01. Everytime I hear the song ONE MORE DAY
I think
about her and it still brings tears to my eyes. I didn't even know
her, but
she has touched my life. I still think about her from time to time,
and my
prayers are still with her family. I know she is still watching over
all of
her loved ones...and one day I know you will meet again.

Such a beautiful person Nicole was
even as a total stranger to many her photos have a life of their own
that demands vibrance and happiness. The photo of her jumping off
the rock with her dad makes instant tears come to my eyes because
you just feel the overwhelming passion for life and you see the deepest
form of love being shared between a little girl and her daddy. The
courage raged from her heart even then, I'm certain it did on 9/11/01
. I will share this page with everyone I know because it has stored
in me a connection with my 2 small children to never take them for
granted and always take advantage of our precious time together. We
never know how much of it we have left. My heart is filled with prayers
for peace to your whole family and may the tears you cry bring you
closer to peace in your heart and minds. Also, to Ryan, Nicole's Love,
wherever he may be. He was certainly the luckiest man in the world
to have spent the time and moments he was granted basking in her love
and spirit as part of her precious life. Thank you so much for sharing
your private thoughts and displaying your gorgeous angel for the world
to see and adore.
Love Always,
Sammantha Boardwine & Family

I don't know Nicole either, I stumbled
on your site looking for Nicole Miller bridesmaids dresses. Living
in California I did not know anyone personally who was affected by
the tragedy of September 11, but I have always wanted to express my
condolences to those affected. In the end everyone was affected one
way or the other. I enlisted in the Navy the next day. I can't imagine
the pain you have felt I can't imagine a loss of that magnitude, but
I pray to God that he would grant you peace in your quiet times when
you have time to think of your loss. I pray that a cool breeze will
carry the smell of Nicole and remind you of her hug. I pray that you
hear a laugh like hers and remember a happy moment together. I hope
you catch glimpses of her in other people and know that she is not
far from you. She is a beautiful woman, and I know she will be deeply
missed.
Sincerely,
April House
I live in Houston Texas, and I finally
made it by the Flight 93 Memorial today. I just thought someone would
like to see Nicole's photo and how things look around her photo today

I just wanted to say to the family
of Nicole Miller I am so sorry for your loss and she continues to
be in my prayers along with the other victims of 9/11. Your daughter
is a hero along with the other passengers to of Flight 93. As a New
Yorker 9/11/01 was the worst day for my city and for me. My job is
in New York City where I currently live and I was in New York City
on that horrible day. I didn't know anyone personally lost in the
attack but people I know either lost a friend or relative. I just
wanted to say I am sorry for your loss and your tribute to her on
this website is touching and moving.

I didn't know Nicole personally, however, I saw her on The Discovery
Channel movie last night called "Flight 93: The Flight that Fought
Back". My husband and I had tears in our eyes. Nicole and I are
the exact same age, we have a lot of similar interests. It's so sad
to believe someone who had so much to give this to this world was
involved in 9-11. I believe she is a role model for all of us with
her courage and strength while on Flight 93. You will not be forgotten.
Your in my prayers.

To the Nicole Miller Family,
I came across your web-site after
watching the Flight 93 Story on the Discovery Channel. Reading your
tributes to Nicole are gut wrenching and your stories have put a personal
face on our national tragedy. I was working in Washington, DC just
blocks from the Capitol on September 11, 2001 and thank God that the
passengers of Flight 93 took action to help spare our city from a
further tragedy. My heart aches for you as it seems as if Nicole was
a bright ray of light that was ready to tackle the future but was
called upon that day to save our nation.
Greg A. Hudson
I saw the Flight 93 television presentation
on building Flight 93 Memorial for the 40 Hero's. This Memorial needs
to include the Love and Light of the "40 Hero's" families
too. These 40 Hero's also leave us with the definition of what the
Lord defined as true Love and Light. Nicole stuck in my mind, I am
from San Jose, CA too. From this day and forward Nicole will not be
forgotten, she is in my prayers.

Encontré esta página
por casualidad navegando por internet, es preciosa, no pude evitar
llorar aunque yo no conociera a Nicole, lamento su terrible pérdida
y la de todas las personas que fallecieron ése fatídico
día, mi mas sentido pésame a sus familiares que demuestran
con éste tributo un amor increíble por ella, era una
chica preciosa con una vida por delante, jamás podré
comprender la barbarie de aquel día.

Dear Cathy,
I just finished waching the documentary "The Flight That Fought
Back." I
am once again amazed at the selfless courage of Nicole and the other
heros
of Flight 93. It's not hard to imagine her charging down that aisle
like a
valiant warrior princess, determined to stop the evil plan of the
men on
that plane. I spent the morning in my yard, planting 40 daffodil bulbs,
one
for each hero on that flight. I will be down in the Bay Area next
week and
plan to finally visit Nicole's grave. If you would like to meet I'd
like
that, but I understand if you can't. I hope this day finds you with
peace in
your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Nicole Renee Miller
Each year I remember 9/11 and Nicole
Miller, and so do my children.
Our thoughts are with you always, we will never forget.

I just finished watching "The
Flight That Fought Back" and saw Nicole's picture at the end
of the program. Her picture lead me to her tribute site - I haven't
stopped crying yet. What a beautiful person and I am sorry for your
lost. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the other 9/11
victims.

Hi, my name is Sunny and im from san
jose also. My family used to have a pizza place in Los Gatos, which
was about 3 miles away from Pioneer High School. I think I saw Nicole,
but after seeing someone from my city being in the planes, it really
hit close to home. I send my wishes and after seeing that movie on
the discovery channel, I had no idea what the passengers on flight
93 really did. Nicole was really a hero and I hope Nicole's family
is doing well and God bless.
May God Bless Nicole Miller. I was
on the cheerleading team with her sister Tiffney at Steinbeck Middle
School. My heart goes out to Miller family & Tiffney for their
loss in 2001 and all those effected by September 11th. Today, I watched
the Discovery Channel's documentry on flight 93, it was very moving.
I'll never forget going to Chilis and seeing the tribute to Nicole
on the wall. May God Bless the families that lives were changed forever
by September 11, 2001.
Sincerely,

Why did someone so beautiful have
to live through something so ugly? Why were the last moments of her
life filled with horror and pain?
Why is it that the innocent survivors have to live with so many questions
and so much pain?
Should I be angry that she was taken so young and with such hate or
should I feel blessed that there is one more lovely angel waiting
in heaven?
Where are the answers that we so badly need?
