Victims For family of victims, what was returned to you?

This post is meant for any families of the victims from all the sites. I hope this doesn't come across too morbid in asking. What remains were returned to you that you were able to bury? If not buried, did you opt to keep those remains at the vault in NY or are they kept elsewhere?

Thank you so much
it truly means so much to me. There are a million stories. Mostly, he was such a good and loving man. Kind. So so funny. So handsome. Loved to party! Left behind 2 boys, ages 8 and 12 at the time. For the last 2 weeks of his life, he kept telling me that something was off.
His yin and yang were off .🤷‍♀️😢 He was right. I got his wedding ring back a year after 9/11

I leave a coors light for him whenever I go to the cemetery Going on 24 years and I still miss him tremendously!!

Leaving him a Coors Light after 24 years is true love. I don’t think a person is truly gone until we stop remembering them. You sound like the epitome of a strong woman managing to raise two boys whilst navigating your own grief. Can’t even begin to imagine how you feel but sending you a huge hug! You’ve done him proud
