Wednesday, November 21, 2001 11:41 AM November 21, 2001 Dear Victim's Compensation, My only sibling, was murdered in the south tower of the WTC on September 11th. Other than our parents we have no family. My brother and I planned to always take care of each other. He did leave me his estate in the hope of taking care of me and my children for the rest of our lives. His estate will do that IF we are NOT taxed at the 55% tax rate. We are finding that the parents and siblings are being forgotten in this whole process of compensation. Because I am not a wife I am being treated differently. Our loss is just as great as someone who lost her husband. I believe under these circumstances we should not have to pay any tax on estates that are left to the beneficiaries of victim's of 9/11/01. My brother was 32 years old and had his whole life in front of him. He was just getting to the position where he was achieving the financial rewards of all his hard work. My parents both made many sacrifices to pay for my brother's college and worse I will never have nieces or nephews. I am now an only child. My life will never be the same. I appreciate you treating all families of the victim's of September 11th equally.
