Making a Difference

Patti Quigley was also pregnant when her husband, Patrick, boarded United Flight 175.

"We had just taken my 5-year-old daughter to a sibling class and two days later on September 11, Patrick got up, he left our house, got on a plane, and didn't come back," says Patti.

Both mothers, who were introduced by a mutual friend, worked to put the pieces of their lives back together, trying to create a sense of normalcy for their children.
