PATTI was named for CIRA MARIE PATTI, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Cira Patti, age 40, New Springville, New York, was employed as a trader's assistant at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and worked at the World Trade Center in Tower Two. A graduate of Drake Business School, Ms. Patti enjoyed shows and New York nightlife. She also was a fan of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. She was an excellent cook and spent time with family, including as the family holiday cook. She was a parishioner of Holy Child R.C. Church, Eltingville, New York. She is survived by her parents and siblings. We salute Ms. Patti, a hero, and name this sweet mama in her honor.
