AMY TOYON. Graduated with my daughter from Avon High School in 1995. She was engaged and had a high paying job in Boston. She "won" a coin toss and went to the twin towers on 9-11 on financial company business. The town of Avon erected a beautiful and very touching memorial to her right outside of the Avon Library. It's Amy, around the age of 6 I'd say, holding a stuffed animal and reading a book. I wish I had a photo of it to show. it brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. God bless her. You just never know!

We who forget history are destined to repeat it. I pray this is one that we have learned from.

God bless her indeed! I wish I could see that statue of that little girl and lay a flower by it.

I was able to find a photo of Amy's memorial on the internet. Her last name is spelled Toyen. I misspelled it .

Thank you Mike for posting this. Thank you to the "citizen soldiers" who gave their lives or otherwise sacrificed in a war they never asked for; thank you for all the responders and thank you to all the photographers who made a record of this. Sometimes what we do does matter.

I went looking for the picture after my post yesterday. I also saw one of a close up of her head. Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for the post. I didn't know if I could post the one's I found or not, because they are .webp files.
