I met Antoinette back in 1998 when we both worked at a NYC design firm, and walked back and forth to Penn Station together as Long Island commuters...we instantly hit it off and remained friends for years.
Even though I'm such a terrible keep-in-toucher, and it had been awhile since we last spoke, I always felt like I could talk to her and pick up right where we left off, we had those kinds of discussions and I felt like I could tell her anything.
She was my "9/11" friend...getting through that horrible day together, Antoinette about 8 months pregnant with Maria but leading the charge as we all walked uptown to her friend's apartment.
I'm just so shocked and saddened...she was so young and had her whole future ahead.
My sincerest condolences to Andy and Maria and Antoinette's entire family...you will be in my thoughts and prayers, I am so tremendously saddened for your loss.
