The LDRNY Comfort & Renew Center has hosted many visitors from around the world in the past month. Many came to commemorate 9/11, or were in town for the recent Republican convention. Here is what they’ve said about Lutherans’ 9/11 work in New York.

"We’re touched by the love and care being taken to help us all to never forget." 

"May our grief be short-lived and our fond memories  last forever." (from Virginia)

"You’re forever in our hearts and prayers."  (from  Nevada)

"May the healing of the Lord God be poured out upon
all the 9/11 victims and families."  (from South  Dakota)

"With awesome respect and prayerful thoughts, we remember those victims and great heroes of that fateful day."
"God bless you, New York City!"  (from Virginia)
