Apologies for posting the following as I know that so many people have lost loved ones and my prayers and sympathies are but a drop in the ocean of their terrible grief. However I thought folks might be interested in the following notice from the Irish Examiner. It deals with the death of the little four year old and her mother whose photograph in the world's press and television brought home to many outside the US the full horror of the dreadful carnage on that terrible day.

"McCOURT (nee Clifford) (Cork and New London, Conn.): On September 11 2001,tragically, in New York, RUTH and her darling daughter JULIANA, dearly loved wife and daughter of David McCourt, beloved daughter and granddaughter of Paula and the late Val and dearest sister and niece of John, Ronnie, Mark,Spencer and the late Gordon. Very deeply regretted and sadly missed by David and Paula, stepmother Raymonde, brothers, sisters- in-law Mary and Brigid,uncles, aunts, adoring nephews, nieces, extended family, relatives and close friends. Memorial Mass on today (Tuesday) at 7.30pm in St. Michael's Church,Blackrock. No flowers please. Donations, in lieu, to COPE Foundation."
