“The death of Sister Mahoney is yet another tragic reminder that September 11 continues to take lives. Her life and sacrifice embody the heroism that was so prevalent in the days and weeks after the attacks. We know that so many are now suffering health effects from breathing the toxic air at Ground Zero. Yet there are still some who doubt the link. By raising attention to her own devastating illness, Sister Mahoney will continue as she did in life to help those affected by 9/11.”
