Remembering Worcester's 9-11 Victim

WORCESTER, MA—We all remember where we were when it happened, and Sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the tragedy that shook the nation. Around the country, many will gather to honor and remember the victims of the 9-11 attack, which occurred on Sept. 11 of 2001. More than 3,000 people lost their lives that day.

Worcester lost one of its own in the attack:

• Tara Creamer, 30, worked for TJX Companies and was on AA Flight 11. "Tara and John Creamer met at college, where he was captain of the football team, and she never missed a game. 'Her life, in her eyes, was perfect,' said her sister, Liz Waldo. "She had a tremendous life in her short 30 years. Her smile was radiant. It was her most beautiful feature."
