LISA and SAMANTHA EGAN: Sisters,
Always Together
Lisa,
right, and Samantha Egan, sisters and co- workers, did
most things together: playing sports, visiting their
parents on Long Island, collaborating on a Mother's Day
gift. This year, they gave their mother, Elizabeth, a
photo album of their moments together.
When Lisa, 31, heard there were jobs available at
Cantor Fitzgerald, where she had worked for four years as
a human resources manager, she suggested that Samantha,
24, apply. About seven months ago, Samantha started
working steps away from Lisa.
And so their father, David, says he knows that in the
minutes after the plane hit their tower, Lisa and
Samantha were together. "They would have been seeking one
another immediately," he said from his home in Rocky
Point, N.Y. "It would have been the first thing in their
minds. `Where is Samantha?' Lisa would have said. `Where
is Lisa?' Samantha would have thought. I know they are
together."
Lisa, the oldest of three, had a master's degree in
psychology and was looking for another job. Samantha, who
had gone back to college, planned to finish school and
find work that would tap her business experience and her
interest in charitable work.
"My girls," Mr. Egan said, "were outgoing, bright,
articulate, giving, loving, caring. Not just my flesh and
blood."
