loses her pride

daughter's heart until she found a journal written after her
death
When Deora Bodley was just 11 years old we found
that quote People ask who what where when why how
I ask piece
Almost 10 years later Borsa still has trouble describing what
it was like to read those words
That's always been a difficult question for me to answer
You know I guess I just have to be responsible
for the fact that I raised an amazing daughter
It's very moving to me Boris remembers the call that
came early on September 11 from a family friend saying
Bodily had taken an earlier flight as a standby passenger
and was on Flight 93
She didn't believe the news at first and went across
the street to a church then just ask God where
she was and he said she's with me and then
my cell phone rang and it was United Airlines borsa
says shortly after she made a decision that would guide
the rest of her life had pretty much decided that
who I was going to be was going to be
courageous and loving force a has been active with the
memorial at Shanksville
She was working on fundraising when she heard the news
about Osama bin laden's death
The news came across and I just I said who
is it that I really don't feel much of anything
Borsa says long ago she asked God to help her
forgive the people responsible She appreciates the work done by
the Navy seals
It gave me now the opportunity to say okay you
know Osama Bin laden just kind of put a check
next to his name and that aspect was taken care
of Borsa says she's even more determined to continue the
work that's helped her move forward to create those things
that we would like to see happen in the world
It's something her daughter wanted from a very young age
