Daniela R Notaro - remembering
It is hard to believe that 5 years has passed since that horrific day. I didnt know anyone who died that day…but the pain of knowing that so many were lost that day, is still fresh. We see little things, old pictures of the New York skyline, pictures from that day, and the memories come flooding back. I asked for the honor of remembering a victim from that day, and I was given the honor of remembering Daniela. I think it is important, that we all remember. There is a saying, I dont know who said it, but it is so important…”Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.” We must never, never forget.
“She was full of life,” said her father, Carlo Notaro. “It was a very simple, normal, peaceful and joyful life.” Ms. Notaro, 25, took a vacation in August to the Bahamas, and her favorite holiday was Christmas. “She would wrap gifts for friends, for everybody in the family,” he said.
And she was a perfectionist, particularly at the office, where her good manners and character made her a valuable worker. “She used to like to go to work,” her father said. “Every morning she would get up very early, and never be late. If she would be late, maybe she would’ve saved herself.
“But she was never late. They took my life away.”
I spent a good part of this past week, looking through different sites, to learn more about Daniela. Notes such as the following, make Daniela more than just a name or a picture, she was a real person, who touched the lives of those who came in contact with her.

It is a shame that this had to happen to you. We never had a conversation, but our faces were familiar to each other, so the day never ended without a quick smile to each other. We went to high school together and i remember your bangs and red lipstick the most. Well, just wanted to say you are in my thoughts as well as the others who lost their lives that day. May you rest in peace.

Already a year has gone by, and you still touch me the way you used to. Your smile, Your laughter, Your Aura always brought brightness to my life and everyone who surrounded you. You are a very unique and special person which made you worth more than words can say. I am sad that you are not here with us anymore but I am happy that you were part of my life at one time. A piece of my heart will always belong to you and no one can take that away.
Love,Stooky

Daniela was a sweet and beautiful girl. She always had a smile on her face. She was the type of person who wanted her family and friends to be close to her, and would often suggest small get togethers. Daniela would also be comical on family videos, which looking at them now reminds me of what a good person she was. I will miss her.
Your Cousin

Thank you all for your comments on this post. 5 years ago, some horrible people did a really horrible thing. I am sad, but I am also happy to have been given the chance to honor Daniela.

I think of her often - each time I pass her old block or a “hang-out” of our high school days. Today, especially, I am consumed with thoughts of her and her family.
Daniela, you are loved and missed by the many lives you touched during your too-short life.

I didn’t know Daniela personally, but I spoke to her often. I once worked for an office supply company in Chicago that supplied Carr Futures with copy paper and their supplies. I remember placing Daniela’s orders or speaking to her when she was inquiring about the supplies. Daniela was always so sweet, soft spoken and so friendly. She will always be remembered. My prayers goes out to the Notaro family. She is now in a much better place and one day her family will meet her in heaven. God bless you Daniela. Thank you for this website.
God bless you all,

Daniela was a great person. I had many fond memories of Daniela growing up. I remember just sitting on the stoop in Brooklyn with her an other cousins. I will always cherish those memories. She was always a pleasure to be around. She had good values and manners. I always admired her beauty and kindness. She had a smile that could light up a room. God Bless you Daniela.
