Lisa, I can't stop thinking about you and your sweet smile. I met your parents last night and understand where your strength and determination comes from. You have a loving family and a great group of friends that will never forget you. We miss you Lisa, and wish you were here with us. Until we meet again on the other side. Love, Duy

I have a lot in common with Lisa although I never got the pleasure of meeting her that I remember. Although I never attended BU when she was here I do come from the same city and sympathize with her story. Lisa could have been me or anyone else for that matter and she will be remembered always.

Lisa and I became friends when we studied abroad together in Sydney. When her name scrolled across the screen on CNN, I could not believe that it could be real. Lisa was intelligent, caring, compassionate, and always made any situation more fun. Lisa, you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and everyone else who knew and loved you. God bless.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Lisa since our freshman year together at BU. I have never met such a determined, intelligent, and kind-hearted young lady. I am always going to cherish the good times we've had together and keep her close to my heart.

Lisa was my roommate during our sophomore year at BU. She was a wonderfully intelligent young woman who clearly had the brightest of futures ahead of her. I am deeply saddened by this incredible loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to both Lisa's family and Jan, her deeply devoted best friend. I pray that we may all find peace and solace in knowing that Lisa sacrificed her life for a cause that is far bigger than all of us, and I know that she is showered by the joy and immense beauty of heaven. God Bless America.

Dear Lisa,
Though it has been about 5 years since I have seen you, when we graduated with the class of 1997, you're someone I have always held in my thoughts and heart. We all went our separate ways after graduation, you to Boston University, me to Texas A&M. When I saw your name on the list for United Flight 175, my heart broke. You were my friend, and I always looked up to you. You were the smartest girl I had ever known, apparent in your success through high school and college. You were kind, and caring, always smiling and bright faced. You made everyone around you happy. I always knew you would succeed, and knew you wanted to change the world, and on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 you did, because now you are a beautiful angel and your grace, kindness, and happiness can be shared with everyone, in every thought. I KNOW YOU ARE WITH US ALL, watching over your family, and friends, and even the strangers that have been affected by this tragedy, and I take comfort knowing you are ok now, and in a better place, and that you will be Standing by ALL of our sides from this day forward, to help us get through the peril that our country is about to face. I will miss you, but never forget you...ever.
TO LISA'S FAMILY:
God Bless you, for giving everyone the gift of Lisa's life, and love, I know she touched my life in a special way, and everyone else's that she knew. I am forever thankful to you for that. Now she will make a difference in the world as an angel. You are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Lisa- SAPA '99 is not the same without you. We miss you and we want you to know that we will never forget how you've touched our lives. We made a little scrap book for you and had your fellow SAPAfolk contribute pictures and write thoughts. And Ceci and Rich got your mug from the BU Pub. We'll probably end up sending them to your mom and dad. Your entire Boston University remembers you, Lisa. And we will never forget. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

I didn't really know Lisa, or any of the other alumni--but I did feel my knees buckle that morning, my heart did stop, and my tears never stopped flowing. I didn't have to know them to feel that a certain unique energy had left this world. My prayers go out to them, their families, and all of those who were fortunate enough to have been touched by their lights.

WE thank you for the work that you've done and the friendships that you have made here at BU and every where else. In the many lives that you have touched with your charity, your care, and your cheerfulness, a piece of you remains. We will make sure that not only we remember and cherish your memory, but that others who do not yet know you may do so as well. Keep on smiling!

I had only met Lisa a few times at SHA functions, which I attended to support my roommate. I saw her speak at the SHA graduation ceremony, and heard of her innumerable accomplishments from beaming professors. They seemed to be gloating with pride that this shining star was a SHA student. From a double major, summa cum laude, to community service, peer leadership and on. I remember thinking to myself how much the world could accomplish if we only took lessons from her. She seemed to be one of those people that could find hours in the day yet inaccessible to the rest of us. I just wanted those close to her to know that her accomplishments, dedication, and ambition were admired from afar by a fellow 2001 graduate.

To those who were touched by Lisa Frost, we will always remember her for her kindness, generosity, warmth, determination, brilliance, energy, and love. My deepest and fullest sympathies and condolences go out to each and every one of the relatives and friends in the world who have been affected by this cruel and unjust act. I share in your pain. This pain, this empty feeling, of losing a loved one in itself is almost unbearable, but to have a mental image of those last few seconds is beyond any word, and will forever be engraved in my mind, and heart. I reach out to every person, from Boston University (especially SHA Class of 2001), from my hometowns, from abroad, from across the country, collegues, friends, everyone, that we take each day as a blessing and not for granted, and take the extra 5 minutes to say hi or have lunch with a friend because you never know what tomorrow might bring. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you who have emailed and called in support of this tragic loss. Till then, take care, and please be safe. God bless America. Lisa, we miss you, and our love will be with you forever.

The summer before my daughter's first freshman semester two years ago, I participated in the parent orientation at BU. One of the students who spent their summer assisting parents during this affair was Lisa Frost. I only know that because she was the one young woman, out of many students whom I met those two days, whom I remember vividly. I remember thinking to myself ... and I want her parents and family to know this ... that I would be proud if my own daughter developed into the smart, outgoing, self-assured young woman that Lisa Frost surely was. She was but one of a number of students assigned to our group of parents, and I'm not sure that there was any hierarchy to their roles, but it was clear that she was the one other students looked to for direction and answers. She had a smile that made you smile, a laugh that made you laugh, and a sparkle in her eyes that made me realize how much she enjoyed being alive. Two days, two summers ago, and I never saw her again. But when I saw her picture this morning on CBS' Sunday Morning I cried, and I cried hard. I called my daughter and she consoled me, but she had also lost someone she knew on that flight ... and we mentally hugged each other over the telephone. Now I've learned that we were talking about the same wonderful girl! My daughter did know her! Two years ago I was struggling with many emotions as my first child was leaving home and going to the big city. Lisa Frost helped me become comfortable with the idea and she didn't even know it. She was just being herself. I am so grateful for having met her. I don't know why God lets bad things happen to good people, but I do know that He recognizes Lisa's special qualities and He needs her next to Him now ... so that her smile can light up heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, the other BU Alumni, and the thousands of people who have been affected by this senseless tragedy.

Lisa, I keep expecting to get an email from you with thoughts on activities for SHA government or Peer Advising, or with your San Francisco information. You told me you were going to get that to me when I saw you Saturday, Sept. 8... I can't express the anger and sorrow I feel that you were taken away. You were such a special person and will be remembered by countless.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa because she was my Freshman Orientation leader. She was such a nice sweet girl. It is a shame that she had to be the victim of such a horrible act. She was very helpful towards me. She was in the Sydney Study Abroad Program in which i am currently in. She helped me a lot by telling me where to go what to do. I will deeply miss. She was great. I will miss her.

To Lisa and her family and friends, my heart and thoughts are with you.

Lisa- I last spoke to you in June, when we were both beginning our journeys into the Post-BU world. I was so excited for you, as you started your new job and showed unlimited potential. And you encouraged me as I began navigating your "home turf" of Southern California. I already miss your beautiful smile, your kind heart, and your enthusiasm for life. You touched the lives of so many people in the BU community, and we will always remember you. Although there is now something missing from SAPA ’99, I know that you will be with us in spirit- and in these chilling times, that gives me comfort. I am eternally grateful that you were a part of my life.

Lisa, there are no words to describe how much I miss you, and the pain I am feeling. I think about you every day, and am still hoping this is all a bad dream. Together, the times that we shared were great, and the memories even greater. I will never forget the countless nights we spent trying to make SHA a better place, and the times we spent just talking it away about life. In Australia, we conquered Ayers Rock and hiked its rainforests. And of course, how can we forget all the Vegemite stories. One day, we will meet again. My love is with you Lisa. God bless.

When I met Lisa during Freshman Orientation, I couldn't help but think, "Wow, she's someone I'd like to be." She was beautiful, bright, the most caring and most approachable person I have ever met. As I got to know Lisa better, the more I liked her. There is not one quality about Lisa anyone can dislike. Lisa, I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. You were always willing to put out time to help anyone and everyone. God bless you. I miss you so much.

When I saw the list of victims it was Lisa's name which caught my attention. I don't know why but I could not stop thinking about what I'd read. Just 22 and murdered in such a brutal way. After reading the replies here I realised that the world has lost a very, very special person, who obviously made people smile everywhere she came. Lisa, although I never knew you, I'll still mourn for you and my heart and thoughts are with your family. Casper Nijmegen The Netherlands

Are words even adequate? People search a lifetime for a friend like Lisa. I knew Lisa for more than half my life. She was my roommate, my best friend, my sister, my twin. We shared triumphs and disappoints, successes and letdowns but we always had each other. We went through elementary school, high school and college together. Being 3000 miles away from home, when we had no one else, we always had each other. Lisa was coming home to drive to San Francisco to be with me, to start another chapter in our lives. The world has lost an amazing person with a brillant heart. I don't know what I am going to do without her. I've lost my better half. We were closer than blood because we chose to be friends and couldn't help but love each other. Your family and I will lay you to rest on Saturday and 22 white doves will fly for you, but the four of us will release one dove each to let you know that we will join you someday. Until then, I miss you and I love you, Frost girl.

Lisa - You were the first person I met at SHA's open house four years ago. I remember thinking how brave you were to come all the way from California by yourself. You were so confident and people were just drawn to you. I knew then that I wanted to spend four years at BU if I would be surrounded by people like you. I am so grateful that you shared a part of your life with me. In true SHA style you spent all your time helping other people. I wish you were here so that we could have a "Lisa appreciation day" this time. Though Roger is probably happy he doesn't have to sit through a three hour ballet! We celebrate you in our hearts everyday Lisa. I love you and miss you. God bless.

Lisa – Working with you on the Hospitality Journal was a pleasure. You were always looking for ways to promote SHA within BU! As I can see from everything that has been written about you over the past week, you were quite a busy girl. How did you juggle everything and make me feel as if you had all the time in the world while discussing the next issue? We’ll never forget your efforts to put SHA on the map – they were tireless. Thank you for taking the time to spend a few hours at SHA on Monday. It meant the world to us. My thoughts are with your family and close friends. Jen

Lisa will be remembered by The Hospitality Program, a small non-profit organization, for her enthusiastic work in developing a partnership between SHA's student government and our program in support of our mission -- housing families and patients who travel to Boston for medical care in the homes of volunteers. Lisa's warm concern for others will suffuse our continuing collaboration. Thank you, Lisa.

This is for Lisa Frost, someone I don't know personally but have been personally affected by her loss. Today, I will compose a floral arrangment from all her friends at BU for tomorrow's memorial service where (as her best friend describes) the releasing of doves will fly with her. I will do my best to design a floral arrangement in honor of Lisa's brilliant life and friendship, that will be missed. I know this particular arrangement from her buddies at BU will mean so much to her parents because you all were a big part of her and that means so much to a parent, being a parent myself, I understand. Living in the community of Rancho Santa Margarita, where Lisa's parents resides, I can tell you that we all share in the grief of her loss and theirs. This tragedy is something for all of us to never forget the ones that died on the Tuesday morning. And, at the same time to live life "like never before" with the courage to move forward like the ones that died as our heroes on September 11, 2001. May God Bless Lisa Frost, her family, friends and all the victoms that died that Tuesday morning. We Shall Overcome.

I had the pleasure of knowing Lisa this past summer. She was a summer resident at my fraternity in Boston. I can't really find the words to describe how wonderful this girl was. I had a great time hanging out with her and going on road trips every weekend. One thing I will never forget about Lisa is her pleasant smile that would light up the room she walked into. She always told me during the summer how much she looked forward to coming to my fraternity to come hang out with all of us, after a long day of work. My last memory of Lisa is when she came to a party we had at our house on Sept. 8. The next day she told me how much fun she had and how much she loved all my frat brothers for being such great friends and sharing one of the best summers of her life. I am just grateful to have met such a beautiful sweet girl that knew how to have a great time. She is definitely a friend I will never forget, thank you for the best summer of my life Lisa!!

Lisa I remember you as a caring person; a peer; and a good friend to all who knew you. You were loved and will remain in our hearts. I remember freshman year we would talk on the phone and you would make me laugh; when we saw each other on the street your arms were warm with embrace. Your eyes always full of happiness. Your spirit full of compassion and love. You were special, one to always remember. A truly kind soul. I heard just last night that you were one to suffer the tragedy of our country. Saddened I was first to think I might never again make your aquaintance; never again to see your smile. Tears came upon me as your memory raced into my mind--we had not talked in so long; But I was reassured to know that I knew the Lisa everyone else holds so dear; The girl with great strength and optimism when she was living through the tests of our world--as a young woman you had been though a great deal--thus your courage and strength; I remember the scholar who was so determined that she helped inspire her peers with a zeal for learning. Many remember you from campus and classes; And best of all, for the girl that demonstated to us that not only do we have to work hard, but we have to have fun while we are doing it. An encouragement to us all. She will remain in our hearts a friend and one to always admire-- She will remain in our world an angel who was taken too soon, but helped make those she knew better people. The world around her, a better place. May God see that she have all the love that she gave to us. Lisa, I will never forget you. And to her family-- You had a truly amazing young woman who will never be forgotten. God Bless you in your time of need. Your loved one, your relative, your daughter left her good mark on us and will never be forgotten. In knowing her I can truly say that she is one to be remembered. God bless her, her family, and we as people.

Lisa loved her friends, Jan and her family so very much and will forever be an inspiration to me. Every day, I strive to be a better person, and to be more like Lisa.

Lisa, dear friend, how we were so alike. When I realized I was rooming next to you in Sydney, I thought we could never get along. Then I realized how much were like each other - that's where my mixed feelings came from! You showed me what you did at the Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games in the publications department, and I always wondered how you could work so hard. I'll never forget our spontaneous dinner at the hotel cafe. We really understood each other that night, and we trusted each other things that were going on in our lives, even guys. At first, we never talked much, trying to figure each other out, and then we became friends. I will never forget you for that, because there were many times where I felt completely lonely there, and you were there for me in that great, big, beautiful city. I still cannot believe you're gone, and for some reason, I'm almost glad we lost touch not long after that great summer in 2000. I don't know how I would react if I were one of your closest friends at BU. I pray they grieve and move on. It's heart-wrenching enough that you and I, and all of us at the Sydney 2000 internship program bonded so tightly but so briefly. Your dream and mine were synchronized. One day, I had hoped to work in San Francisco, perhaps at the Chronicle. You were being offered a position to begin a magazine there. I never got the chance to tell you - I went to San Francisco during my spring break in March. I regret that now, but I will never let go of my dream. I will fulfill it for you, and I pray that I will be able to contact your family and let them know just how special you were to me, even for such a brief time. My prayers be with you, your family and friends in this time.

I remember meeting Lisa at Freshman Orientation and then never forgetting her. I mean, how could you? She was so involved with everything, and she knew everyone, as is truly evident by the outpouring of love that we have all seen since the tragedy. Lisa and I spent a grueling semester of statistics helping each other out, and later on it seemed we worked on every group project in SHA together. Jackie and I will never forget our restaurant on a boat in Boston Harbor. I felt Lisa and I become a lot more close our senior year at BU, from burning the midnight oil on our advertising project to hanging out in her apartment talking about relationships. My last communication with Lisa was an email she sent to me the weekend before she was taken from us. It is something I will always cherish because it embodies all of what Lisa was: enthusiasm, determination, ambition, excitement, love, and dreams. Yes, it was all in that email as she described to me her plans for her new life in San Francisco and told me all about her new boyfriend. Lisa, I will forever miss you, and your smile that always greeted me when I saw you. The world lost one of its best on September 11. You were such a wonderful and beautiful person. My heart still aches to know that I will not recieve any more emails telling me all about your adventures in San Francisco. But I do know that you are in a better place, and if I truly know you Lisa, you are watching over all of us, your friends. I'm sure you told God right away that you had work to do--to protect and keep safe all those you left behind. Because now you are God's shining angel and you will be with us always. For that, I am eternally grateful. I will always keep you close to my heart. Goodbye Lisa. I love you and I miss you.

I am a Norwegian student and was only checking out BU`s home site on informations for forign studens when I coincidentially saw this "in memory of" page. The tragedy for people living far away in another country, becomes pretty fast distant. Suddenly I was confronted with real names and reflections from people which lost their lifes in this horror event. Mostly out of curiosity I started to read the reflections from different persons and became so moved by reading the reflections to Lisa Frost. And when I saw her beautiful picture I almost started to cry.. What a big loss. She obviously had a fantastic caracter. My condolence to evrybody who knew her. B.Alkan, University of Oslo.

I have read over Lisa's accomplishments, time and again. As a graduate and employee of the University, familiar with the academic and social challenges at BU, I am amazed that anyone could achieve so much in so little time. I am saddened by the loss of such an incredible person and know that she will continue to inspire. As the saying goes, the Lord chooses only the best flowers for heaven's garden.

Lisa, As I read the reflections of everyone else, I once again got tears in my eyes. Nothing prepared me for the emotions I would feel at your memorial service. Every moment I have ever spent with you became twice as good. The nites that we spent partying at the Kells, Casino Nite and Back Bay can never be matched. The countless times we used to wait for you and Jan to finish your makeup and hair will forever make me smile. I'm so glad I was able to capture the good times we had not only in my mind but on film. I miss you and will forever hold a place for you in my heart. May your dreams wherever you are, come true. Much love...

My thoughts when the magnitude of this tragedy hit me was that in the end, we are all going to know someone who was affected by this. Lisa was the one that made this bad dream become reality for me. I only had one class with Lisa but in that short time I was struck by just how mature and ambitious she was. It was also very obvious just how close she was to her family and my heart goes out to them. If anything good can come out of this, I hope it is the idea that we have to live each day to the fullest and appreciate just how much we have in our lives. It was obvious to me that this is how Lisa lived hers.

My heart goes out to the survivors, the friends and family of people who died, and the people who lost their jobs because of this. I didn't know Lisa personally, but she was only a year younger than me and we were both at BU at the same time for 3 years. I probably did seen her on Comm Av, eating at a dorm, or a party/club/bar. I probably know someone who knew her. It makes me realize that this could have happened to me or one of my friends or family members.

I knew Lisa Frost for 9 years and we have shared some wonderful memories together. She wanted to make a difference in this world and she has. Both Lisa and I were involved in the March of Dimes together and would carpool every week in our mom's cars to Irvine. NHS, CSF, Spanish Club and Key Club were only the small list of things her and I were involved in together. She would always have time to do everthing that was important to her and take time out for herself. I was fortunate to have Lisa and Jan (her best friend and mine) to stay at my house this past summer. We shared memories of fun and hardship through our college years. I was lucky enough to drive both of them to their job interviews and share with them the experience. I will always look up to Lisa and remember how she went through life...no regrets. I was touched to see and read about the wonderful friends Lisa had made at BU. I wish all of you the best through this hard time.

Lisa, when you walked into a room your presence commanded everyone’s attention. You are truly amazing person. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven has gained a divine angel.

I was struck by sadness to learn that Lisa Frost was killed in this terrible attack because she was never given a chance to succeed in life. It saddened me to think that she was flying home to see her parents. I extend my sympathy to her parents. I attended BU in the early 80's at the School of Nursing. My father is an undergraduate and graduate of BU School of Medicine who kindly gave me an education. In sympathy, Helen Itabashi

It's been over a month and I don't think a day has gone by when I have not thought about you, Lisa. The morning of your memorial service in Boston, there was a bird circling inside the chapel. I knew then that you were there with us. Jessy and I weren't quite complete without you. I will never forget our times in Sydney and New York, our conversations about anything and everything, and our shared love of fun and food. To the Frost family and Jan: It was wonderful to meet and see you in Boston. My thoughts and prayers are forever with you.

I had a class with Lisa. I joined the class late, but she walked up and I was instantly welcomed by her friendliness. We talked about our mutual interest in food and she made me excited all over again about my thoughts and plans for beyond graduation, as we were both to graduate together. She always made the future seem bright and exciting more than uncertain and daunting. I'll always think of her everytime I'm lucky enough to meet someone who makes me so excited to live and experience beauty.

When I saw Lisa's picture flash on the television, my heart sunk into my chest and just began to cry. Lisa was an incredible person and I am glad I got a chance to know her Lisa-I met you 3 years ago when you were my Freshman Orientation leader. I could not get over how incredibly sweet and generous you were. You stayed up with me all hours of the night helping me, a poor confused freshman, figure out my schedule. I instantaniously felt close to you because you were kind to me. I never would have survived freshman year if it had not been for all your advice.

Lisa-- I have known you for many years, at the Marriott first, and then later in classes and around campus. Like many others, I will always remember your warm smile. The two wine courses we had together were wonderful. Often when I am in wine-tasting situations you enter my mind. I remember hearing your sweet voice in class pipe up with a great word to describe a wine. I will always remember the last time we spoke. We were attempting to meet up for a drink at the Dugout. Sadly, a power outage changed the plan, and we didn't get together. A shame, but such is life. To The Frost Family, Jan, and all others who saw the bird flying around the chapel that day, my heart is with you. Feel free to contact me at dan@mccarthyphoto.com.

To those who were unfortunate enough to not know Lisa, let me tell you something. Many times when someone passes on people try to say the nicest things they can think of to make the memory more sweet. However this isn't the case with Lisa. Every word that these people are writing is true to the core. Since elementary she has been kind, smart, respectable, sweet and so much more. Words are limited by their definitions, but our feelings and memories of you are endless Lisa. Hopefully the rest of us still here can draw from the peace that you now have in heaven to help us survive through these tough times and unsure future. Jan we've been through alot and whenever you need me I'm here for you in this too. Everyone who's ever known her will miss our Frosty.

On behalf of Mrs. Frost, our son Dan and the entire Frost Family we would like to say thanks for all the wonderful remarks about our darling daughter Lisa. All of these E-mails tell us just how many lives Lisa touched in 22 short years. Her mother and I miss her beyond belief. We still can't believe this happened and that we will never again be able to receive one of her famous hugs. I proudly wear Lisa's Boston Marathon Volunteer jacket to functions and hug people as if Lisa is giving the hug. Wearing it makes me feel closer to her. So many of you said we hope this message reaches the Frost's. They did, Loud and Clear. Our daughter Lisa was a bright light which the Lord is using now to show the way to an entire new generation. And will continue to do so for many years to come. I used to tell Lisa, "Talk to me ten years from now", when discussing where and what she would be doing. By then, I told her, you will be a big success. Ten years and beyond from now students will still be thanking Lisa for the inspiration she will give them to do the best they can do. Lisa received many scholarships in her student life. And in every case she proved the selection committee picked the right candidate. By selecting Lisa in her freshmen year to be in the SHA catalog the bar was raised and she knew she had to perform above the rest. Result....Valadictorian. Melanie and I will forever continue to have a close relationship with B.U. We cherish the friends Lisa left behind, will continue to do charitable work in her honor and will constantly strive to make her last wish come true. To make a difference and make the world a better place. Know that Melanie and I have weathered all that has been thrown at us and are doing OK. We cry everyday and miss Lisa more and more each passing day. We know many of you feel the say way and it warms our hearts to think we raised a daughter who had that type of effect on people. We have met so many of the victims families and we send our deepest condolences to all of them. God Bless all of you. With Love, The Frosty's.

Hi, Just reading through what everyone had to say about Lisa just brought tears to my eyes. Even though I never knew her, i can see how speicial she was to everyone she met. It makes me feel really angry that at a moment a beutiful life was taken away from the world, and yet I am sure that wherever Lisa is now, she is bringing happiness to all those around her. I feel close to Lisa because she is about the same age as me. I hope that the Frost family is doing well, my wishes and condolences to you. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to make this pain easier, because that will help me lighten the trauma that is in my heart from seeing the aftermath of 9-11.

She made earth like heaven for so many people when she was here. I do not know you Lisa, but I will pray for your family and friends! God Bless You!

I hope I can follow your example and live life to the fullest. Lisa we will miss your dearly.

Lisa Frost had strength, courage, and wisdom. She believed in me and made me realize I could accomplish anything I set my heart on! She had such grace and compassion for people. She had a zest for life and made people feel at ease in her presence. We would talk about our homes, hers in California and mine in Miami, and how we missed the warmth. She was such a special person. I reflect on the moments we shared talking and laughing. I remember her smile and it makes me smile.

I would like to share this with Lisa's family: I met someone in a pub in Aberdeen, Scotland last Friday and we struck up a conversation. Eventually she told me about a lovely girl with whom her daughter had been friends while visiting in Australia a few years ago. She cried when she said that she had died on September 11. As she described the girl I realized that she was talking about the same girl who was an acquantaince of my daughter (she interviewed her for BU two years ago): Lisa Frost. We couldn't get over how this young lady had touched our families in such a similar way in places that were so wide apart. I remember Pia talking about Lisa after her BU interview and later, her tears on September 11. Lisa was obviously a remarkable girl who touched many lives deeply. I cannot imagine her family's grief and I wish I could provide some small comfort. Mark Silverstone msilverstone@aberdeen.oilfield.slb.com

Six months have gone by, but it still seems like yesterday. I went to high school with Lisa and although I did not know her well, I have always admired her. There are just not enough people like Lisa. Lisa was intelligent, beautiful and had a zest for life. I think of Lisa and her family and friends (especially Jan) everyday. I walk by her memorial at the RSM lake weekly and read about everything her dad is doing to help community in Lisa's honor. I really believe that Lisa is everywhere and she is watching over us. Lisa's accomplishments make me want to be a better person. Thank you, Lisa for your inspiration!

I first met Lisa on an Admissions recruiting trip in the fall of 1996. While I meet hundreds of prospective students throughout my travels, there are some who really stand out from the crowd. Lisa was one of these stars. I can remember our first meeting at Trabuco Hills High like it was yesterday. She was so articulate, bright, mature, adventurous, and outgoing. She left quite an impression and I was pleased to see her application later that winter. While on campus the following summer for Orientation, she spotted me outside my office. I can't help but smile when I remember her bursting out of a crowd of new freshmen, dashing across the sidewalk and excitedly greeting me with, "Miss DeVivo...Miss DeVivo...remember me? I'm Lisa Frost, from Trabuco Hills! How are you?!" As time went on, I kept bumping into her and our friendship grew. We became especially close when she was selected to be a student interviewer for our office, and then traveled with us to the West Coast as a student speaker. I came to think of Lisa as the little sister I never had. It was so rewarding, both personally and professionally, to watch this delightful teenager grow into such an impressive and accomplished young woman. Students like Lisa are what make me love working in admissions and make me proud to represent BU. I have fond memories of our last meeting. Before she left Boston, we made sure we got together for dinner. We had a great time talking about the many adventures that awaited her, her career plans, etc. (OK, there was some "guy talk" in there, too.) When the bill came, I remember saying to her that this would be my treat, on one condition...she had to promise that she'd treat a young BU grad to dinner sometime in the future. Not surprisingly, this lovely young woman with a heart of gold was thrilled at the prospect of giving back and making a difference in someone's life... Over the last 6 months, I have visited this site many times. I will always treasure my wonderful memories of Lisa and remember her zest for life, kind and generous spirit, sparkling personality, and the Frosty Girl giggle. It was an honor to know her and call her my friend. Lisa will always have a very special place in my heart. To the Frosts and Jan, I think of you often.

Re: Lisa Frost My son, a 22-year-old paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, thought he had gone to high school with Lisa Frost here in Mission Viejo. But they had gone to separate high schools. Nearing the end of my career (BS Applied Math - Cal Poly 1965) it troubles me that Lisa died just when she was to start hers. So much promise in such a lovely young woman. Such a waste. I pray that her parents have the strength to get through their ordeal. God bless them and Lisa. Burl Estes Mission Viejo, Calif.

I pray constantly for your family, and Jan. I wish them more and more strength everyday, so that they can carry on and keep your legacy alive. You will never be forgotten in their hearts or mine. Just the other day, I pulled out my highschool yearbooks, and found all the places you signed; all the kind things you wrote-- and my heart broke. I hope you know how much your missed. I know you are with us, keeping us strong, guiding us, and keeping us safe. God is lucky to have such a beautiful angel. Until we meet again... Melissa

Dear Tom (& Family,) I met you outside the church in Old Town San Diego this past fall on my way to morning mass. You were jogging and stopped to ask me to say a prayer for Lisa. I was in such shock at the time I couldn't think until I went in and knelt down to pray and that's when I felt the full impact of what you had just told me. I quickly ran out to find you--I looked for you the rest of that day but you had said you were leaving. You had come to Old Town because that's the last place you and Lisa were together. What I wanted to tell you was this. The Lord has blessed me and our prayer group at St John Neumann with a special gift. We learned how to pray for the dead in a special way. It would take too long for me to explain it to you here but there is a special book called "Healing the Family Tree" by Kenneth McCall. Our prayer group first learned of it from someone who visited the Abbey in Pecos, New Mexico and brought it back. I could never tell you the miracles it has brought about. There is a Jesuit priest named Matt Lind who collaborated with Dr McCall in the investigation of such prayer and his testimony which I heard on tape in the late 80's is very powerful. I don't know if your church has a copy of the book or the tape; the book is currently out of print. It's fairly well known in the Charismatic Community and if you can get hold of a copy--please read it. My thoughts & prayers have been with you, Tom and with your family many times since that day in San Diego and I'm blessed that I finally found a way to communicate with you. May God Bless and Heal you all. A friend from Lancaster PA

Message to Cecelia Ritchey....Thanks for your note and thank you for your prayers in loving memory of our darling daughter Lisa. I will look into the books you talked about and hope anyone else who has been affected by this tragedy will do the same. I took Lisa and her classmates from 8th grade to Old Town San Diego for school reports. The trip in Oct. 2001 was for R&R after 5 weeks of Sept. 11th responsiblities and turned out to be a trip down memory lane. St. John Neumann in Irvine was where Lisa made her first communion and I grew up in Lancaster, Calif. You have now added a special touch to that San Diego trip. And speaking of trips down memory lane thanks to "Miss DeVivo, Miss DeVivo...remember me? I'm Mr. Frost. We had Sunday Brunch in Pasadena with my daughter on the recruiting trip! Remember?" Thanks for the nice note Nina. Mrs. Frost and I think of all of you at B.U. often and hope you are coping as best you can. Melanie and I look forward to seeing you and all our B.U. family on April 12th when we come to town for me to run the Boston Marathon on April 15th. Until then know that I continue to do community service in Lisa's name and encourage everyone to do the same. The terrorists may have taken Lisa's physical presence away but her spirit will live on forever!! God Bless B.U. and God Bless America.

It will be displayed at the New York Historical Society and then travel the country. We are hoping to complete the Flag by September 2002, and want to make sure that you have the opportunity to have Lisa's beautiful face on the Flag.

I, like many others, did not personally know Lisa Frost, but she has been forever etched in my mind since these tragic events. I can't help but think of Lisa Frost when I think of the summer of 1996 when I trevailed the campus of Boston University partaking in a six-week summer film program at COM, where Lisa also studied. I think of her love of the Boston dining scene, and how I too loved discovering all the best the city had to offer. Though it was forever my dream to attend Boston University for college, I ended up going to a more local university where I lived in North Carolina. To think of Lisa is to think of Boston, to think of Lisa is to think of the dream of college at Boston University being carried out, to think of Lisa is to think we have walked each others footsteps along Commonwealth Avenue. Some people in life you just cannot forget. This proves you don't have to personally know someone to forget them or for them to make a true impression/impact in your life. I am the same age as Lisa when she was taken too soon. She is the friend I would have made had I attended BU with her, she is the companion I could have had running all over Boston for food finds. Lisa I appreciate what you were, you accomplished your degree at Boston University. It would have been a priviledge to know you. I will always hold you dear to my heart when I recollect on my days in Boston and how happy they were. You must have felt the same way.... Lisa, I will never forget you. Vanessa L.

I didn't know Lisa, but I do know that right now, as I stand poised to receive my diploma in a mere week, my heart continues to grieve for this young woman who was just about to really embark on her life journey. She, like I, was just getting started, and it is heartbreaking to know that this senseless tragedy cut her life so short. I didn't know you, Lisa, but I've read all that so many people have to say about you. Even months after the tragedy, people, even strangers, think about you daily, and about how much you impacted their lives. You continue to impact mine.

I didn't know Lisa...my boyfriend had been really good friends with her throughout high school and after. After the attacks I spent a lot of time consoling him and through that time "I got to know" Lisa. It was so obvious to me that she was an amazing woman , a Angel here on earth. I listened to who knew her talk about her , she had touched everyones life and made such an impact on them. She was so special. I think about her often. On my last trip to Cali, I saw a picture of her at Magic Mountain with friends in High School. Happy Lisa (as always) having fun....brought tears to my eyes thinking that such an amazing person had to be taken from us. Even though she is no longer with us here in body, she is with us in spirit and she will continue to still touch people lives in her special way. She has touched my heart and made a huge impact on my life. Tomorrow I leave for New York City, a last minute unplanned trip. I plan on making a trip down to Ground Zero and Battery park (for the memorial)to say a prayer and leave a momento there in memory of Lisa. Your always in my prayers Lisa. You are Loved and missed by all.

I met Lisa's parents, Melanie and Tom Frost, this past weekend as I was on campus for my 15th reunion. They were honored guests of the University for Reunion/Commencement weekend. I had the privilege of seeing one of Lisa's incredibly beautiful drawings that Mr. and Mrs. Frost shared with those attending the President's Breakfast. Mr. Frost, I was honored that you gave me a memorial pin with Lisa's photo on it. I will wear it with the utmost respect for your daughter (who I never had the fortune of meeting). Seeing you, Melanie and the other family members of September 11th victims being recognized at the 129th BU Commencement made me so proud to be part of Boston University.

A few months ago I met Lisa's parents at a community function. Her father spoke eloquently of his daughter and her history in our community, her sense of committment. After, I approached Mr. Frost, simply to thank him for speaking. I was reluctant to intrude, but her father seemed to welcome the opportunity, saying it is his way of dealing with the loss. Her father asked if I would like a button with a photo of Lisa, the last one he had with him that day. I found myself tongue-tied, eyes welling up. To my surprise, Mr. Frost comforted me. How do her parents, her brother, those who knew her well deal with this senseless tradegy? How do all those who lost family and friends go on? If I have such difficulty and I didn't know this young woman cannot find words to say to her father? The strength of the human spirit is unimaginable, isn't it? So tomorrow morning, Memorial Day 2002, I will go to the plaque by the lake under the young tree planted there by her family and think of her and all those who died that day in September. I visit there often, but tomorrow will be, well, in memorial.

Dear Lisa. I am a French student in Law from Paris,France.On 9/11 i was on a trip to Ireland where i learnt the terrible news.You didn't know me and i didn't know you.But i have two reasons to remember you and what happened on this terrible day:you were a beautiful girl of my age with an irrestible beaming smile and you lived in Rancho Santa Margarita,California where i spent my summer vacations in 1997. What is more some of my friends from RSM knew you. I think everybody needs to remember a victim.You will be the one i'll remember forever. The whole world will never forget. May your soul rest in peace.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity work with Lisa for two plus years. She was one of the most pleasant, easy-going people I have ever met or worked with. I do not recall her talking badly about others and was always so positive. She was hard working and displayed a constant willingness to always help others. She was a person I always looked forward to seeing and always enjoyed talking to. I know she left a lasting impression upon me and the many that had the opportunity (good fortune)to work with her. I know I will never forget her.

Lisa touched many people, and her caring will not be easily forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. I had the occasion to meet Lisa once, and the fact that I remember her after that one meeting speaks volumes about her personality. She is sadly missed by a lot of former classmates at BU, and we will continue to keep her memory alive in our hearts.

I knew Lisa in high school. We were friends the first couple of years and then we drifted apart. Although I only knew her for a short time She made a lasting impression on me. She was a good person in the purest sense and she showed me what it ment to be kind and honest. I feel foolish trying to put it into words, but she inspired me to be a better person when I was 16, and she continues to this day. Lisa, you and your family will be in my thoughts for the rest of my days.

As a parent of a fourth year student attending BU, words could not express our immediate grief for all those who lost their lives that horrific day, especially that of Lisa's. Our daughter Erin informed us that she had met Lisa when she was a 2nd year student as a freshman resource advisor. Erin also informed us that she was a student represntative for northern Ca, and an involved student with much to offer. Lisa reminds me so much of Erin with her involvement and she has been told by the admissions dept. that she reminds them of Lisa in many ways. Lisa will always live on through the BU community and the many lives she touched, especially that of our daughters. Mrs. Gore

I can't believe it has almost been a year since you were taken from the world. I read in the newspaper that they found your remains, and it was the strangest feeling in the world.

You will never be forgotten. Until we meet again angel, fly high!

As a family, your strength, courage, willingness to share and celebrate her life are remarkable and inspirational. You are each in my thoughts and prayers, now and always. May God Bless you.

Its been almost a year since you where tragicaly taken from everyone. I just wanted to Thank You for inspiring me so much. I started college this fall after all. I never thought I would make it this far. After hearing so much about you from my friend, who has known you for so long. All the wonderful stories of your success, drive and most of all your sincere kindness made me want to try even harder to meet my goals. I am working for a scholorship to California State U. Even though we never got a chance to meet, Thank you for everything you have done for me. Maybe, one day I will get the chance to tell you in person.

With the 1 year anniversary right around the corner, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Lisa's family. I had the pleasure of working with Lisa as an RA at Boston U, and in the Admissions office. The loss of a friend and a fellow graduate of the class of 2001 is devastating. All I can think of are her last moments...but I hope that she knows what an impact she made on my life, and the life of so many others. She is deeply missed.

Lisa, I don't know why I have waited a year now to share my feelings and send my condolences to your family, but I guess it doesn't matter. We were mere acquaintances in high school through mutual friends. We probably shared no more than 30 words or so. But even in those short interactions, I could tell then that you were someone special. I knew instantly that you were one of the nicest human beings I had ever met, and probably so much more. In the past year, I have both read and heard firsthand some of your closer friends simply rave about you and the many ways in which you touched their lives. They will never forget you, nor will I. I send my sincerest condolences to the Frosts. May you rest in peace, Lisa.

As I see your name, one year later, I can't help but cry again. I'd like to think that I'm a stronger person now, but the sorrow still persists. Life moves on, but I can't forget what they did to you: I can't forgive what they did to you. The pacifists say, "move ahead, brush it off; it was our own fault anyway." But no, I won't brush it off, and how dare you accuse me? America isa nation founded in choice. While we do make mistakes, our guiding principles seek to aid millions around this small planet. There is no excuse. As humans, we must stand together to remove the threats that challenge democracy and freedom. My heart is with you, even now. My tears are those of sorrow, and also resolve. I will live my life without fear, because you would have wanted that. It is to you that I now dedicate my hopes and aspirations, Frost Girl. Twenty-six doves flew for you: 22 for your short years, and four for those you leave hehind. I met you only once; but your life touched so many, and your death, so many more. I love you, Lisa Frost.

Lisa and I went to the same high school in Mission Viejo. Although I graduated a year after her, her named sounded so familar when I saw it run across the bottom of the screen on CNN. I did not have the priviledge of knowing her personally, but many of my close friends from THHS considered her a very special friend, to say the least. This day, a year from the tradegy, I cannot help but think of her. Maybe it is because it makes Sept. 11 a reality, someone I went to school with. Maybe it is because I have seen the hurt in my friends eyes as the recall memories of her. Or maybe it is because her angelic presence is here right now, consoling everyone who knew here name at all. Teresa and Mike~ I know she meant a lot to both of you and I am so glad you had the opprotunity to have such a wonderful person in your lives. My prayers go out to both of you on this day and many others. I have been, and will continue praying for strength Lisa's family. I can't even imagine what you have been through this past year, but you keep hanging on. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Last night, I spent the evening flipping through our highschool yearbooks, looking at your pictures, marvelling at your accomplishments then and thinking about what you went on to do after that. I read and re-read all the times you signed my yearbook. It knocks the wind out of me and crushes my heart each time I think of you and how you were taken from us. I can't help but watch TV and pick up newspapers and read everyone's reflections on your life. It somehow brings me peace to know that everyone misses you as much as I do. You were one of the most amazing people that ever touched my life. You touched so many lives without even knowing it. You always made me smile and always helped me out! I pray now for you to help get through this day and every day after that. You are God's most beautiful angel now, and he is soooo lucky to have you. I know you are in a better place now. God bless your wonderful family...You will be truly missed and remembered always, and I look forward to the day that I will see you beautiful smile again!! I love you!! Fly high FROSTY GIRL!!

I find myself with a lump in my throat and a hole in my heart today as I remember this day one year ago, where I found myself in disbelief and shock that Lisa was taken from us. Although I didn't know her as well as others knew her, I remember vividly all of my interactions with her. I remember the last night I saw her, in mid-August, when we talked about our plans for the future. I remember being so excited at hearing her plans... I thought to myself, "This is someone who should and will get everything she deserves out of life." When I heard she was on the plane, I found that part of me -- the part that hoped and believed in good things -- died. I think about Lisa every single day, when I watch the sunrise or as I lay in bed falling asleep at night. I read stories of people who she has inspired (myself included) and must force myself to believe that she had to leave this earthly world when she did so she could be a guardian angel to all of us. She surely is to me.... Whenever I am in a tough spot or wish for some peace of mind, I think of Lisa and I feel better. I hope that one day, after I too have passed from this world, I'll be greeted by Lisa, holding a glass of wine to me and toasting with me to a good life.

It has been a year since the day and I cannot help but to remember how Lisa continues to touch other people lives. I only had the opportunity to briefly meet with her parents and have not personally meet Lisa, but wish I had. In speaking with her parents and how they describe her, I can only imagine how Lisa was warm kind hearted person, who deeply cared about others and those close around her and yet could reach out to anyone. In many ways, she was a well-rounded person who over achieved in her classroom and had time for her friends. She seems like person who could accomplish anything in life and with so much potential. And I can only say that she will be greatly missed by all of BU community and she has impacted my life. God seems to work in mysterious ways, and I am not able to explain them. But I am reassured by the fact that she is in a wonderful place.

The lighted laughter I never heard. Sparkled eyes I never gazed upon, The smile that seems to linger yet. So, so many souls who miss yours, The feel of your touch in lives inspired. A creative kindness, boundless beaming, Whirling spirit that never tired. There is some kind of ever-glow That cannot fade, though time goes on. Even in those you did not know. We cannot, how can we, forget. Never forget you. Lisa.

Lisa, I remember seeing your name on SHA event bulletins and hearing it spoken of fondly by students and professors alike. It was quickly apparent to me in my beginning days around BU that you were a shining star, spreading light everywhere you went. One year ago, I saw the pain and grief on the faces of the SHA professors, of the students who knew you, and even of the students who didn't know you, including myself. I learned from the BU community of the many accomplishments that you've made in your life and of the many lives that you've touched. Around SHA and the rest of BU, your spirit is stronger than ever, as we can all feel it here. Though you are gone from this earth, we know that you hear our prayers and watch over us as we learn, grow, and strive to follow in your inspirational footsteps.

However, Lisa's legacy has lived on. I know many people, including myself, who strive to do better because of Lisa. Lisa lived life to the fullest, she accomplished SO much during her 22 short years with us, yet had so much fun doing it. If only we could all live like Lisa. I admire Lisa, she really makes me want to be a better person. I think of Lisa everyday and always will. My thoughts are with Lisa's family and Jan who have been inspirations to us all during these trying times. Rest in peace, Lisa!

I sit here at my computer, wondering what I can write...what words can I possible type that will make sense out of this tragedy? A little more than a year ago I was on my way to work - it was my first "real" job after graduating from BU in May of 2001. While in my car I heard the news of the 1st attack on the World Trade Center. By the time I had arrived at my office the second plane had hit. When I learned that a BU student - one that had graduated with me and was in the same stage of life that I was had been on that plane I started sobbing. I cried for the tragedy, the unfairness, the insanity of it all. I don't know why Lisa was chosen to be on that plane. I hope that her friends and family can find some solace knowing that she has touched so many people - people she never even met...and that she has inspired them to cherish each and every day they are here on Earth. God bless.

Lisa, I've been looking at pictures of us from college, remembering our adventures together beginning with orientation. Although we found separate paths as our college years flew by, I knew that you were a friend for life. Now, living and working in New York City, from my desk I see the empty space where the towers stood and I also see the Statue of Liberty. I think of you often when I look out that window. I'm overwhelmingly sad, but I honestly still feel your friendship to this day. Lisa, I find comfort in the fact that your strength, beauty and passion in life have multiplied infinitely in your memory. You have touched the entire world.

It amazes me, every time I come back to this website, people continue to write to you Lisa. Your strength and love here on earth touched so many lives, and now it seems that as an angel you continue to touch so many more lives. There are no words to express how much your missed but I think we all know that your presence is strong and you are still with us, watching and guiding us everyday. Your grace, strength and goodwill continue to amaze me even though your physically gone. Fly high Frosty!

Last Friday, 3/21/03, my 3rd grade daughter's class did a play on heroes; as part of the play each child did an oral presentation on a hero. My daughter (Christine) did her hero report on Lisa. Mr. Frost came to her class, and she interviewed him a week before the show. He told her stories about when Lisa was her age and brought a piece of the World Trade Center for her to hold. She invited him to the play, and he and Mrs. Frost came. They are truly amazing people, so warm and generous. After the play, they told Christine how pleased they were that she had chosen Lisa and what a wonderful job she had done. They then prsented her with a gift bag that had one of Lisa's stuffed animals in it, a skunk named "Stinky". Christine loves Stinky; she sleeps with him and plays with him. My family is overwhelmed that the Frosts would share a piece of Lisa with us. We live in the same community but had never met them before. It is truly testimony to what a wonderful family they are. I have shared this story with many, many people and everyone is moved by it and thanks me for sharing. The last amazing piece of this story is that I have a daughter who is a senior in high school. She found out that same day that she had been admitted to Boston U for the class of 2007! God bless the Frosts. I know that Lisa is shining down on us.

Lisa, There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I still have dreams that you and I are haning out and talking about everything that is going on in our lives. I missed not sending you a birth announcement of my beautiful daughter. Derrick and I decided to name her after you - Emily Ann Flanders. We feel that she should know what a wonderful person you are and how much you have touched our lives. We felt by using your middle name she would always have a part of you with her to look after her. You are missed... T

Lisa, I wore your picture button to work today, which your dear parents gave my mom when they met in Sacramento. So many people asked if I had known you. I admitted that I had never had the pleasure of meeting you. And then I told them all a little bit about you: about your academic achievement and charity work; that you were flying home for a visit before starting a new job in San Francisco. Lisa, I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. And from what I know of you, I think you would be kind enough to accept the trade. I believe that you are in a far better place than I.

You were taken from us so quickly and SO unfairly. Your short life was a true blessing to so many people. I hope you know how many lives you touched and are still touching. Your life will be celebrated an remembered always. The second anniversary of your death gives us a chance to reflect and mourn such a wonderful, smart, beautiful person. You are loved and missed......Until we meet again......Fly high Angel!!!

I studied abroad in London in the Fall of 2002 and met a group of wonderful people, Andrea, Aisha, Casey and Jan Lam. During that semester Jan had her best friend Lisa Frost come visit and it took me awhile to put together that this was the same wonderful, generous, special person that I had med and spent some time with. My main memory of Lisa was that Jan had some money problems and needed some while we were having a good time in London. I remember finding out that Lisa gave Jan enough money to last her awhile so that Jan could experience London without any money worries. I was touched by her kindness and thought that Lisa was the type of friend we should all be lucky enough to have. God bless you Lisa and my thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and Jan.

I sit here, in front of my computer, unsure of where to begin or even what to say. Still, I find it hard to go through a day without thinking about what had happened on that awful morning. My friend Justin wrote to me in an email a while back, “People will tell you different things, different ways to deal with the loss, and for the most part they all mean well. But the fact of the matter is, everyone gets through it differently, there's no single way to mourn.” He was right, there is no single way. Perhaps by writing this, I am in a way expressing my sadness. More importantly, I guess I just wanted to say hi to you Lisa. I encourage everyone today to take a few minutes to call up an old friend, have lunch with your boss, reach out to a stranger...because tomorrow, you might not get another opportunity. We will never forget. Love always.

on thursday my science teacher stopped the class in their work and started telling us a story about a girl he once taught. he told us how lisa had graduated in 1997 and how he cried on september 11. he pointed to a memorial he has in his class for lisa saying she was the best student he had ever had. i remember hearing about the former student on the day of the attack. i was only a freshman and never even heard about lisa before but thursday when my teacher started telling us about how great of a person lisa was i couldnt help but cry even though i never had the pleasure of meeting lisa i feel like i know a little bit about her. it is such a tragedy that she only got to live 22 years but from what i heard she made the best of it.

Ever Since Lisa's Death on United Airlines Flight 175 I will never forget hearing her voice. She was a great person to be with because she was very calm and friendly. I was actually In N.Y.C. when the Twin Towers were hit I was only a few minutes away then I looked up and saw American Airlines Flight 11 with 81 passengers and 9 crew hit the north tower. I was thinking that the plane was flying to low and it was an accident. Then I saw Lisa's plane United Airlines Flight 175 with 56 passengers and 9 crew coming towards the south tower. My friends and I were really scared after seeing both flights out of Boston's Logan Airport Hit the twin towers. But In my heart Lisa will always remain until the day of my death.

That if I could be only/accomplish only 1/1,000,000 th of what you did. I would be such a better person. You still blow my mind away with all your accomplishments. You make me want to be a better person. You make me want to do soo much. Even though I have never met you. Knowing you through people you were really close to for years and years bestowed upon me what an amazing individual you are. I will always remember that day, it changes my life........it changes so many others life. It will never be easy...yet thinking of you is. Your an angel to so many people, especially your family. They love you SO MUCH and honor you every minute of every day. Your friends are still loyal and they miss you. Especially Kirk, Shaun and Jan. Youll always be remmebered smiling........cause that is all you did!

I take every anniversary and spend it in reflection, in the pictures of our time together, in the memory of our friendship, and in questioning contemplation - trying to figure out how we fix what has happened as a result of the day that you were taken from us. You are always in my heart, and now that I am married I look forward to the day that I can tell my children about my dear friend, who remains young, beautiful and laughing in my memories.

I knew Lisa when we were in ad class. She was in my group for a project. We worked together pretty well and we got a good grade for the assignment. I didn't speak to her much but she was very nice and open about herself. I still feel sad everytime I remember the day I learned about her death. We didn't know each other that well, but she was someone I think would've been a good friend if I knew her more.

If we can endure for this moment All that is happening which we see, No matter how heavy ourheart is Or how dark the moment may be If we can remain calm and quiet With all the world crashing about, Secure in the knowledge God loves When everyone else seems to doubt If we can but keep on believing What we know in our hearts to be true, That darkness will fade with the morning And that this will pass away too Then nothing in life can defeat us For as long as this knowledge remains We can suffer whatever is happening For we know love will break all of the chains ~Helen Steiner Rice Lisa, you are still in my thoughts and prayers. your inspiration lives on.

Hi Lisa, You will always have a place in my heart and mind. It is so very hard to think about what has happened and how much time has passed since that day. You probably already know that we all miss you very much. Maybe someday we'll all finish that movie together. Sincerely, Brian

I had the privilege of befriending Lisa her senior year at BU. Her roommate at the time, Jan Lam, introduced us. I have many fond memories of Lisa, and her memory has become synonymous with the date September 11th. I'll never forget the last phone call I received that night, from Jan, telling me "She's gone..." It still makes me shake, even 8 years later. I anticipate it always will. I will never forget.

Lisa, I still come to this site on each anniversary to read the reflections of the people who loved you. You still live in our hearts, sweet angel. Frost family - you are in my thoughts and my prayers as much now as 8 years ago.

Still thinking of the Frost's and Jan. I remember watching a photo slide DVD show in one of the BU brownstones with many other students, staff and the Frost's and still, to this day, remember the smile and the joy the photo's emitted. Not only did she live life fully, but documented it well for the memories of so many - what a rare and wonderful gift. I pray for increasing peace for you each day, knowing it will still never be enough.

Lisa's family and friends: I didn't know your lovely Lisa, but she touched many lives in her short life. I am from Orange County, and my daughter attends BU, class of 2011. God bless all the families affected by 9/11.

I was at a ceremony in California where I met Tom after he gave his talk on his wonderful daughter, Lisa. I was there to represent the Father of the Green Berets (COL Aaron Bank) who, along with Lisa, was being honored. My Special Forces Group was the the unit that invaded Iraq from the north and up to the time of meeting Tom "it" wasn't personal. I kept the button of Lisa on my combat gear each day for the 22 months of fighting. I would tell my men her story when they would ask who she was. It always brought a smile. We "adopted" her into the unit. She won't be forgotten. God bless you, Tom. God bless America.

Lisa was my classmate and partner in a group project. I didn't know her well, but I knew she was very ambitious. From what she told me, she was ready for life after graduation. It's taken me years to write something here but it's about time. I wanted to say that we lost someone who was ready to contribute to society in a positive way. Lisa, you will be missed.

I went to High School with Lisa, I didn't know her or much about her except that she was a year older than me and my brother Ron was a good friend of her brother Danny. Coming up on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11/01, I thought about her again & found this site. There's a memorial for her at her home town of RSM, CA's lake & every time I walk by it I think "what a shame." I can tell you all she was extremely smart, I was ~3 yrs from getting my BA during this time, she was already finishing her 2nd BA from what I read. Although I didn't know her personally she & all the other innocent people that died on this day didn't deserve it. Love to you Lisa where ever you may be <3

I'm from Lake Forest Ca, just down the road from RSM, and read Lisas Fathers copy from our local paper. I don't get the paper and was at my moms house when I read it. My mom told me that he writes every year around this time and it gets published. Sorry to say I never knew Lisa but I know where she's from. Just wanted to say I hear ya Mr. Frost. You are eloquent and I was very moved by your piece. I wish you you and your family its own peace...and my prayers are with you. You are stronger than i'd ever be in the situation. I'm sure. Take care everyone..every day is precious.

Dear Lisa My first job was at Rubino's Pizza next to THHS. My brother went to school with you and is also a THHS alumni. Frequently, I honor your life by visiting a park in North Hollywood, where you name is joined with other Californians lost on 9/11. It is a beautiful tribute to you. When times get tough i visit and draw strenght from your life and courage. You will always be our California girl:)

I met Lisa's father on her last birthday in December 2011. He was finely decorated with Lisa's memorial pins and Boston University athletic gear. I introduced myself as a member of Lisa's home town giving him a hug sharing in his pain. Looking into his eyes, he shared the memorial efforts found fragments of Lisa's bone matter of which they intimately buried at a burial site locally. Tears whelped and my heart sank with sadness and joy knowing her family had Lisa home again. Lisa, you will always be remembered and we are honored to have you home. It's wonderful to have a memory of you right here at our local lake. May you be surrounded by love tonight 11 years later.... We love who you are!

A scrub oak tree planted in honor of Lisa Frost stands on the shore of Rancho Santa Margarita Lake in Orange County, California. Words on the granite plaque by the base of that tree commemorate her life, lost at age 22, when Flight 175 from Boston was hijacked and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

10,000 miles away from Boston, in Australia, I am thinking of the day you told me I should study abroad here. We were in the coffee shop on commonwealth and you were helping me figure out what classes to take for a com/sha dual degree. You were a kind and generous person and I will not forget you or the kindness you shared.

It's been 15 years since the world lost a bright gifted person who seem to overachieve in her accomplishments. She had loving family that carried over in her social interaction with her friends, family and anyone who she came in contact with. There was so much promise and potential, what you might have already accomplished by now. The world seems little unispired, less compassionate and little lonely without your presence. I remember 14 years ago calling companies to raise gift for silent auction in honor of your memory. In lots of the ways your story gave me courage to get involved. For me, you have placed a face to a tragic event in our country's history. You have profoundly affected my life and touch me to become better.

This morning as I drove my kids to school (one of whom is now in middle school!), I asked them to tell people your name. Their schools are beginning to teach this day like "history." I asked them to speak your name. You are so much more than a piece of our history. You live on in our hearts.
