StoryCorps collected over a thousand remembrances from September 11, 2001 victims' families and friends as part of its 9/11 Initiative. So, far, 583 victims have been represented and StoryCorps has produced three, incredibly moving and lovely animated shorts. In "Always a Family," Monique Ferrer remembers how her ex-husband and the father of two children Michael Trinidad called from the 103rd floor at the North Tower: "The only thing on his mind was to tell the kids that he loved them."
