Elena Ledesma Obituary

Elena ledesma, que Dios la allá acogido en su santo ceno y que su alma este en paz, shanhellen jimenes, una noche tu madre puso unas palabras en mi cuales te las dije mientras hablamos, y algún día espero volvernos a ver

Elena did not die in vain at the Twin Towers.

I am sorry for your loss. Listening to the names of folks that have passed away that dreadful day 18 years ago, may we never forget all those including your loved one. May her heart continue to live in her kids and family. Hugs!

I happened across your name today and wanted to see your photograph. Your girls are now adults having lived more than half their lives without you. I just cannot imagine their loss and my heart breaks for them, and your family and friends. My love to your daughters.

In Memory
With Honor & Respect.

Rest In Peace Elena and for all who passed that day. You Will Always Be Remembered! for Shanhellen, may you find some peace and joy during this time with the memories of your mother and know she's up in heaven watching over you and your family as your guardian angel.

May God Shine His Light On This Beautiful Woman, Mother Of An Old Friend Of Mine.
..I remember This Day As If It Were Yesterday. ..
It Was Only Just A Few Days Into The New School Year At My JHS When All Of A Sudden We Were All Informed On What Was Happening. A Classmate, A Friend, Was Taken Out Of The Room, And As She Walked Out, Our Hearts Broke When We Learned Her Mother, Too, Worked At The WTC. ..
.. Unfortunately, Elena Never Made It Home To See Her Family That Day, But I Know She Is Watching And Smiling Over Them Everyday.
..Shanhellen, My Heart And Prayers Will Forever Go Out To You And Your Family.

I REMEMBER ELENA TO THIS DAY AND I MISS HER AND MY COUSIN SO MUCH..BOTH NANA AND ELENA LOST THEIR LIVES.THEY WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEARTS AND EVERY1 ELSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY.. I MISS THEM SO MUCH..I WAS JUST REMINICING WHEN I USED TO SEE ELENA IN THE STAIRS AND SHE USED TO SQUEEZE MY CHEEKS..I MISS HER..

In remembrance....

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Elena may you rest in peace

The sky was falling and streaked with blood

I heard you calling me,

and then you disappeared into the dust

Up the stairs into the fire,

Up the stairs into the fire,

I need your kiss but love and duty

called you someplace higher

Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire -

Bruce Springsteen



- Let us thank God for everyone who lost there life to save others. God bless their friends and families. God Bless Elena’s family for their loss.

Today I attended a memorial here in San Diego, where San Diegans lined up to read the names, and ring a freedom bell, for the nearly 3000 people that perished on September 11th. I was fortunate enough to receive Elena's name, out of the thousands that could have been given to me. It was an honor to be able to read her name, and to connect to a woman that I was never privileged enough to meet. I give my deepest condolences to her family, and I owuld like to express the impact that this one woman has had on me. I don't think that I will ever forget her name, for she now has a permanent place in my heart.

My heart goes out to the family of Elena. Just out of curiosity, I entered my name as a keyword search on AOL. I never expected to find my name related to such a tragic event. I am moved and I am so sorry for your loss. May God keep my "tocaya" in peace. May God grant her children and all of the family peace. God Bless you!
Love,
Elena Ledesma, McAllen, Texas, USA

May God Bless you and watch over the ones that you left behind on 9/11/01. Rest in his loving peace forever more.

Elena was my moms best friend, I had the pleasure of meeting her and accepting her into my life as a sister. My mom worked with her for many years and they became the best of friends, we visited and knew each others families well. I feel as if I would of lost a piece of my heart. She was the sister I never had. I know although that she is in a better place along with her brother has in now in gods kindom as well. You will both be missed and loved forever.

Elena has stayed with me in my heart and my mind. I met Elena about two and a half years ago when she first started working at Marsh. Although she worked on the 93rd floor she used to come up to the 95th floor to have lunch and chat with Tatiana (may she rest in peace), Ramona and Miguel. Whenever I walked in the pantry and saw the four of them together, I would sit and join in the conversation. The laughs that got us in trouble because we were a little noisy are the most remembered of all.

Elena loved to go camping with her daughters and friends. She even got me to go camping for the first time two years ago. She was so enthusiastic about me going camping, she even drew a map for me on a piece of paper....and boy did she know her routes!!

Elena, you will always be missed...

DEAR GOD SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN ELENA LEDESMA AND MAY SHE REST IN PEACE WITH GOD AND HIS ANGELS..GOD BLESS HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS..GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NEW YORK AND MAY WE NEVER FORGET 9/11/01.MAY GOD GREET YOU AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN..AMEN

On Sept 11th, on that fatel morning, Elena's cousin, Lina and I were in pure hysteria viewing what had just occured. Lina was concerned because she new her cousin worked there and I because my niece, Monique Dejesus worked at Cantor Fitzgerald. Lina and I both lost our loved ones on Sept 11th, but we share an even more powerful friendship bond since that day. My heart goes out to the family of Elena Ledesma and her beautiful daughters who I had the opportunity of seeing them during an interview on television. I know the difficulty of loosing a loved one. I have you and in my prayers. We now have an angel in heaven, Elena and Monique are in a much better place.

God Bless Elena's family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that your family continues to be in the prayers of people across America.

Our old times were great and I will never forget them. Our secrets will always be a memory. Our wishes and desires will never come true and that really hurts. I love and miss you and I will never forget you.



May God Bless You and May You Rest In Peace.

We are very sorry for your loss of Elena. May her hard work habits, her life and love live on in all who love her. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
