Remembering The Victims of 9/11: Susan Huie
On Sept 11, 2001, Dr. Gordon Huie was stitching up victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack on a conference room table. Anxiously he wondered to himself, “Where are you?” When the phone call came, he collapsed in grief.
His sister, Susan Huie, 43, was on the 106th floor of World Trade Center Tower 1. Susan was at a meeting when the planes hit the 92-98th floor of Tower 1 at 8:46 that morning. Nobody above the 92nd floor survived. It would be almost four months, January 1, 2002, before Susan Huie was confirmed dead.
The devout Huie, from Fairlawn New Jersey, wound up at the Windows of the World on Sept 11 2001 by chance. She was a financial analyst for Compaq and a graduate of Pace University, class of ‘79.
Susan Huei was one of 184 victims on Sept 11 who were of Asian descent, 6.7% of the total.
I hope that your religious beliefs have taken you to the beautiful and peaceful place that you deserve.

As human beings, it’s hard to conceive of the scale of the 9/11 attacks. These kinds of tragic anecdotes make it easier — though no less saddening — to grasp.
