Extending my condolences and best wishes to all family and friends who mourned the loss of Gennady 21 years ago and continue moving forward with their lives.

In September of 2001, I was working at Marsh in Chicago office. I didn’t know any of the victims personally, but I was shocked by what has happened to them. It took me almost two months to be able to express my feelings in a poem that I dedicated to all the victims of 9/11. I want my poem to also become a special memorial for Gennady. May you always be alive in the hearts of your family and friends! God bless your spirit! Barefoot Dream /Dedicated to all the victims of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001/ Bare-footing through the broken glass, through concrete ash and bloody mess, through melted steel, through roasting fire, I'm waking up with one desire. I wish someone could turn back time and to protect New York's skyline, to change the fate of tallest twins and save the lives... My night begins with silent prayer in my mind to keep the horror from mankind, to soothe the pain and stop those dreams, sleepwalking through the chilling screams. Still, every time I close my eyes, I see the smoking hole in skies... My mourning heart is hurt so deep - I dare not to fall asleep. Marina Dudanova November 2, 2001.

Dear Dad its been three years since you've been gone and I always thimk about you and I will never forget you. I carry your blood and flesh and even though you are not here to see me grow we are spirutaly connected

Gennady, Although I did not know you personally, I pray that you are now resting at peace in heaven and that God is giving your loved ones the strength they need to carry on in your honor. Love, Michael Cantatore

Gennady, it's been a year already and I still expect to hear your voice answer the phone when I call to make travel arrangements. I miss talking to you and teasing you. My prayers are with you and your family on this one year anniversary.
