Back in 2000, in the midst of the crazy dot-com bubble, I worked at a company that I had founded in 1996 and had successfully gone IPO in 1999. One of the people that was on my team was Alicia Titus. She was still early in her career, and had moved into a mid-level account management and marketing role on my team. I always remembered her as being competent, kind, collaborative, interested in learning.

Alicia left the company shortly before I did in 2000, and did a variety of things before signing on to be a flight attendant with United Airlines. On 9/11, she was one of the victims on United flight 175 from Boston to LA.

Every year around this time I visit the Alicia Titus website that her parents set up and sign the guestbook. They have also established the Alicia Titus Foundation through Urbana University focused on support efforts to bring about peace in the world. My thoughts and prayers are with John and Bev Titus. They have been an incredible example to me of turning hatred into fervent efforts to bring peace to this world. Their tribute website reminds me to cherish the time I have with friends and family, coworkers and others that I come into contact with, because “tomorrow is not promised.” This is something that I pray I can remember throughout the year, not just on 9/11. Blessings to you, your family, your friends, and your community on this day.
