Protesting victims' treatment

I write in response to the article "A question of justice" (February). My heart goes out to the suffering of Thomas and JoAnn Meehan. That their beloved daughter's grave should at this time be unmarked in a desolate dump is a sacrilege. Her parents are denied the assuaging of their grief and the comfort of having their daughter's grave in a beautiful, peaceful place where they could bring or plant flowers. I would like to sign a protest petition at this heartless treatment of innocent victims caught in the evil tragedy of 9/11. I will keep Thomas and JoAnn Meehan in my prayers.

PETITION COMMENTS 

 A garbage dump is not a cemetery  .My son has not been identified but his license was found at the dump

T hat cannot be his final resting place.

Signed  Bill Doyle


With no body remains located, I am certain that Fresh Kills has more of my son then I do. Please show respect for the individuals that were part of making a city great by their work and life (and now death) in the city.


MY NEPHEW IS FDNY FIREFIGHTER ROBERT FOTI, HIS MOTHER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PRAY AT THE GARBAGE DUMP FOR HER SON.  HE GAVE HIS LIFE WITH THE DIGNITY OF A FIREFIGHTER, HIS REMAINS SHOULD BE TREATED WITH AS MUCH DIGNITY.  HIS FAMILY HAS SUFFERED EVERYDAY SINCE 9/11,

 GIVE THEM SOME PEACE.
