Mayor Adams joins families and officials in Queens to commemorate 23rd anniversary of AA Flight 587 tragedy - QNS
Briefly

"I was 14 years old when I lost my father, Danilo Corporan, and my sister, Janet Marie Corporan, to flight 587. Growing up, I was asked when did you get over it, meaning when did I stop mourning, and the truth is 23 years later, I still mourn the loss of my father and sister. Losing a parent isn't something that you can just get over; it is a pain that remains in the back of your heart, and every once in a while, you will feel a pinch that reminds you that they're still there and reminds you of who they once were."
"The pain does not dissipate over 20-something years. It is still as fresh and as new to the family members who feel the loss."
