Thomas Burnett Jr, 38 years old, was a senior vice president and chief operating officer of Thoratec Corp in San Ramon, California. He is survived by his wife, Deena and daughters, Madison, 5, Halley, 5, and Anna Clare, 3. |
Nobody except the families and friends who lost people in this tragedy
will know the pain his family feels, but we can all pray for them and
the others who died. God bless America and those who willingly laid down
their lives for this beautiful country! May God be with all of us each
day as we move forward through these troubling times, not only remembering
those who lost their lives in the air, but those also on the ground who
too gave their lives so others could live! I miss Tom and feel an emptiness knowing that he isn't here anymore.The loss of those who were on those flights is not easy to bear or understand, but with each other's help and prayers, we can come together to restore this nation and move on from this tragedy with a renewed sense of hope in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us continue to pray for the Burnett family and all who died on September 11, 2001. They leave an void in the lives of their loved ones, but they also leave behind a legacy. Their earthly presence that touched all of us in some special way may have ended at 10:06 AM that fateful morning in a Pennsylvania field, but memories of their courage, like Tom's, will live on. God Bless, take care, and pray with me continually for peace in our land. |

Allan C. Bushnell III is 17 years old and lives in Kamuela, HawaiiI. He is a junior at Hawaii Preparatory Academy and plans on becoming a radiologist or a psychologist. A devout Christian, his friends comment on him being a good listener, which is helps him minister to others when they have trouble or questions on how their faith can be strengthened. Allan says, "My friends and family, and anyone who needs help comes before my own well-being because I know that, through others, I get the strength I need to help myself as well ". Allan remains highly involved with his faith even though he hasn't been able to find a church that, as he states, is "on fire" for Christ. He hopes that when he returns to California for college he will be able to get involved in a Church near his college that supports youth ministry. |
