Biography:
Eternity without you my love is still difficult to believe
Vile are those that did this and those that still scar you
I will forever honor you while wishing for their demise
Living among us, lying, cheating and stealing still
May they see themselves for what they are...evil
Alive and living life to the fullest while our lives gone
Righteous they try to make others believe; they go unpunished
In every way they will some day suffer as you and I
All alone in this own world within their walls of hatred
Paul William Innella was born on November 11, 1967. He was raised Catholic but Paul said he was Agnostic shortly before his death, he did not attend any Catholic services at any time during his last year of life. Paul graduated from technical school in New York and briefly attended college. At the young age of 18, he was hired at Cantor Fitzgerald. Paul died as a well reguarded program analyst for their international bond division. Paul commuted by bus daily from our home in East Brunswick to the World Trade Center where he worked on the 103rd floor of the North tower.
Our life together was beginning and we were both gleaming with hope and anticipation of our future. Everyone that was part of our life shared in our happiness during Paul's last year, but after Paul's death many chose not to keep contact................................
Plans were made to buy Lucy's parents house, where they were already living. Paul was so happy to meet with the mortgage rep and was excited to again be a home owner. They anxiously began construction and redecorating. Paul wanted nothing more but to buy the house, get married and start a family with Lucy. Paul was helping Lucy raise her son Kyle from her previous marriage and Kyle was happy to have Paul as his stepfather and mentor. Paul had said many times during that year that Lucy was the only woman he ever loved enough to bear his child. He was a true romantic and a bit old fashioned, wanting to always care for Lucy in every way he could. Lucy wanted nothing more but for Paul to be happy and content, which he was until the day of his death..................................................
Our wedding was planned for the end of the summer of 2001. Paul invited his family, friends and co-workers and they all were pleased and excepted the invitation with open arms. Our wedding date was later changed due to a request from Paul's mother. Paul's family wanted to have a double wedding in Vegas with his brother who was thought to be getting engaged, upon Paul's death he was still not engaged and to date it is unknown if he actually got married. They set the date for April 17, 2002. We put in for our vacation at our jobs and advised everyone we knew. Paul reluctantly agreed. Paul's mother offered to pay for the entire wedding and trip as a gift. However, because of our kindness and willingness to please others our wedding day was taken away from us...like so many other fiances of 9/11. Paul wanted to elope and not tell his mother or family...this is one of my biggest regrets in life, I should have agreed with Paul. Though Paul called me his "misses" everyday and considered me his wife it would have been nice to have the ceremony before he died. He was so proud of our relationship and wanted so badly to marry me. Paul's mother often told my mother and family that she had never seen Paul so happy, he always had a smile on his face after meeting me. Our home videos are priceless............................................
Paul's love was like no other, his spirit like no other. Though time passes and life goes on and the heartship changes and a new direction in life takes place, the past cannot be forgotten. I could not have loved Paul anymore then I did and he was my family as I was his. I have found inner strength to continue on with my life and continue my fight for justice for fiances and domestic partners, as I am sure he would be proud of. The legality of Paul's death has yet to cease and the trials and tribulations unfortunately will continue, something I know Paul would have not wanted for me.
I know I was the luckiest of all...to have Paul by my side every day for the last year of his life and to be the one he told, "honey, I love you more then life itself". I have honored Paul since the day I met him and still do to this day. I was the love of Paul's life and wanted nothing in return from him but his love...the love that was real to the both of us for the last year of his life.
Paul and I were truly happy together for the year prior to Paul's untimely death. The World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001 took his life, at 33 years of age, shortly before we were to be married. Paul and I lived together as husband and wife and considered ourselves to be eachother's spouse, till death do us part... but death parted us first........................
Paul's final resting place will be as he chose, in East Brunswick. A memorial monument has been made in his honor and the other 7 people killed from East Brunswick. His monument is at Civic Center drive across from the East Brunswick Library all are welcome. Paul wished to be buried in East Brunswick and if/when his remains are identified he will be buried as he wished.

An excerp from the newpaper about the memorial ceremony in East Brunswick...
By JOHN YOCCA
STAFF WRITER
EAST BRUNSWICK: With family of the eight residents who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack looking on, sculptor Blaise Batko unveiled the township's memorial at Veterans' Park in the Municipal Complex.
The two 7-foot-high granite Twin Towers stood tall, bearing the names of each victim: Siew-Nya Ang, Susan Blair, Paul W. Innella, Hweidar Jian, Alan David Kleinberg, Stuart Louis, Suzanne Passaro and Kenneth W. VanAuken.
Wednesday night's crowd of nearly 1,000 then grabbed candles and headed to the back of the Municipal Building by the lake in the park for the township's candlelight vigil led by Mayor William Neary, who offered words of comfort to the crowd, some of whom wiped away tears.
"One year ago our hearts were broken," he told the audience, as a plane roared overhead, causing a few people to look up. "A year has not been long enough to heal our wounded souls. One year is a short period of time, but it seems so long ago."
Members of the crowd then reached for the closest match or lighter to light their candles in the gusty wind. Some cupped their hands to block the breeze, while others shielded the flame with their coats.
The Rev. Dr. Richard K. Smith, a member of the East Brunswick Clergy Council, told the people how "gratifying it is to see, sense and feel the solidarity here this evening."
The gathering, led by the East Brunswick High School Marching Band, sang "God Bless America."
Parents held their children tight, like Harry Sood, who held his daughter Verinda Sood, 3, in his arms as she waved an American flag proudly in her father's face.
Couples, young and old, wrapped their arms around each other, wiping away tears, all the while their candles flickered in the night...........................................................................
How sad it was for my family, friends and myself to see the memorial unveiled. A night we will never forget, the reality of it all again came back. We also were saddened that the Innella family and friends did not attend, what an insult to Paul and how embarrasing to us all. Everyone knew Paul and I lived together and for once I was treated as Paul's spouse...just as he would have wanted and would have expected.................................................LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL, BUT REJOICES IN THE TRUTH...I have seen so much evil since Paul's death shown to me by the most unlikely people, people whom I loved and considered my family........................................................
I have been treated so wrongly in so many ways from shortly after Paul's death. Here I copied and pasted the exact email sent by Paul's mother to the mother of Paul's child, her daughter Maria and a copy to me. You make your own judgement. Please write to me for a copy of the original letter shown below or with any questions.

Hi,
I think this is the way that Lucy's lawyer is going to go. A
nuncupative will shall not be established unless it be made in the time
of the last sickness of the deceased at his or her habitation or where
he or she hath resided for ten days next preceding the time of his or
her death. This is a Mississippi law I don't know if applies in N.J. The
only reason I mention this is that she now says she has two close
friends that heard this, and it must be witnessed by two impartial
witnesses. Maybe you can discuss this with your attorney.
Detective Shirley.....................................................................................................................
If I lost my son as Shirley did I don't think I could act as "detective" to try to conspire against his fiance. Could you? .........................Please be advised that Paul's brother in law is posting messages in the guest book...still trying to get people to believe his lies. It is a pity and a disgrace to Paul, however, I will allow these posts so everyone can see his mood disorder and severe temperment. Now from the law journal.................................Domestic Partner Is Awarded Workers' Compensation Benefits..................................
Mr. Paul Innella was killed in the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center terrorist attack. He left behind a 22-month-old daughter, the mother of his child, Jennifer Novara, and his fiance, Lucy Aita. On behalf of the child, Ms. Novara applied for and obtained $400 weekly in workers compensation benefits. Ms. Aita filed a challenge contending she was Mr. Innella's domestic partner and was entitled to her spousal share. At a hearing, Ms. Aita proved that she was Mr. Innella's fiance at the time of his death and was awarded $220 weekly, leaving a $180 weekly payout to the surviving daughter. Ms. Aita's relationship to Mr. Innella as his domestic partner was one of the categories listed in a workers compensation statute enacted after the September 11, 2001 attack. The statute applied retroactively to September 10, 2001 and gave domestic partners of employees the same death benefits available to surviving spouses...........................
In the Matter of the Claim of Jennifer Novara, on Behalf of Victoria Jones, an Infant v. Cantor Fitzgerald, LP, et al., Workers Compensation Board, 2205 WL 1038486 (N.Y.A.D. 3 Dept.).......................................................................................................................................September 12 the day after the death of my beloved fiance was the second worst day of my entire life, September 13 the third day of my entire life...and so on and so on.......................................................................................................The Thank you all for the kindness you have shown to my family and myself. Your support has been a blessing to me......................
