From the protests that I attended when they were started in early March against The Falls bar, to driving from NYC to Boston to attend the “A Night For Imette” fundraiser sponsored by Boston Latin High School, her old Alma Mater, I’ve gotten to know a lot about Imette. There, I met briefly with Imette’s family. I also saw pictures of Imette being displayed by a digital projector that the general public has not seen. Imette is shown from Childhood to young Adulthood. Some of the pictures must have been taken with a ‘date-camera’ because the date in imprinted on the bottom right. It’s sad to view some of these as I ended up thinking “this was taken 2 years before …;” this was taken 6 months before …”

I’d like to give you this link. It is a response to an e-mail that I had sent to Terry James, one of the webmasters at Rapture Ready DOT com, about Imette. If you scroll down, you’ll see his response titled “Endtime Behavior” where I mentioned our experiences of rallying against The Falls bar and what we were up against:

Imette touched me in a way I had never expected. I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer just two months before her death. Indeed, I worked at the World Trade Center in 2001. I’ve excaped death a number of times in my life and I have often wondered ‘why’? If it were possible, I would have traded my life just to get her’s back; to take away the grief that her Mother, Maureen, and her Sister, Alejandra must be feeling, expecially as the current holidays being on or around the 25th are a reminder of Imette’s passing.

I agree with you and this I have learned. We have some people walking among us, and we don’t even know them; and some of them are fantastic! Such was Imette C. St. Guillen.

She and her family are in my prayers daily and I look forward to meeting with her in the next life.

I hope you receive this response as, no one else has left a comment. Imette’s life was too important NOT to leave a comment on her life.
