A Tribute to Christine Lee Hanson, 2, Groton, Ma.
(Originally posted on September 11, 2007, edited to post every year and today in memoriam. My other tributes with links are at the end of this post.)
Never to be forgotten:
Christine was the 2 1/2 years old daughter of Peter and Sue Hanson. She was born on Feb 22, 1999. She was the granddaughter of Eunice and Lee Hanson of Easton, Connecticut, and the great-granddaughter of Ok-Hee Kim of California. She was a beautiful, happy, outgoing little girl who loved to talk on the phone with her “Namma” Eunice, telling her of her time at day care and ending the conversation with “I love you, Namma.” She was attending Knowledge Beginnings in Chelmsford, MA.
On September 11th, 2001, they were on Flight 195 bound for California on their way to a Disneyland vacation and a trip to visit Sue’s relatives when their plane was hijacked and flown into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. Her father held her and her mommy in one arm while expressing his love and saying goodbye on the cellphone to her grandfather Lee.
Christine Lee Hanson is the youngest victim of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
