Gaddafi's Death May Bring Closure for Haddonfield Woman Who Lost a Sister in Pan Am 103 Bombing

Rebels reported the capture and killing of Muammar Gaddafi on Thursday.

Susan Maslowski said it was years before she spoke publicly about her sister Diane's death aboard Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.

She recently spoke to a high school class in Haddonfield, NJ, about her sister's death from a terrorist bombing and the lessons it taught her to cope with the 9-11 attacks on New York, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon.

"You have to continue to live," said Maslowski, 52, an owner of the Jay West Bridal shop on Kings Highway. "You can't let the terrorist tell you what to do. Then the terrorist wins."
