Letter from 9/11 Flight Attendant Reaches Her Son 24 Years Later
Over two decades after 9/11, a mother’s final letter resurfaces, and her son reads her words for the first time in a tearful and emotional moment caught on camera.
A heart-wrenching letter penned by a heroic 9/11 flight attendant has finally reached her son — over 20 years after she perished aboard Flight 93 in the September 11, 2001, attacks. In a moment as poignant as it is powerful, Jevon Castrillo, now a grown man and father, came face to face with a message written in March 2001 by his late mother, Cee Cee Ross Lyles, just months before her tragic death.
The touching revelation was made possible by WPTV reporter Jon Shainman, who orchestrated a video call between Castrillo and his former kindergarten teacher, Tammy Thurman — the woman who had held onto the letter all these years.
