Memorial services, and the establishment of scholarship funds, continued this week for Tristate families who lost loved ones in last week's terrorist attacks.

        Meanwhile, those listed as missing in New York City and Washington, D.C., remained so Tuesday.

Faulkner

Reszke

        The Reszke family of Liberty Township in Butler County returned from the Washington area following a memorial service for their aunt and sister-in-law, Martha Reszke, 56, of suburban Virginia.

        Her body has not been recovered from the Pentagon, where she worked as an accountant in the finance department.

        “Her son stood up and said, "If this was a sacrifice to make this country a better country, my mother would have gladly done it,'” Mrs. Reszke's niece, Melissa Reszke, 24, of Liberty Township, said Tuesday.

        She said the family also found solace in the fact that her parents, John and Paulette Reszke, had spent the previous week with Martha Reszke at the suburban Virginia home she shared with her husband, James — John Reszke's brother.

        “I just think it gives them some peace of mind to know they spent the last couple of days of her life with her,” Ms. Reszke said.

        Also this week, the family of Mason business executive Wendy Faulkner set up a memorial fund for her two teen-age daughters, Loren and Ashley, and possibly other children, the family said.

        The daughter of Christian missionaries, Ms. Faulkner, 47, was on a one-day business trip to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. She remains missing.

        “I'd like to be optimistic, but ...,” her husband, Lynn Faulkner, said Tuesday.

        She was a vice president for systems at Aon Corp., a risk-management company and insurance brokerage.

        Contributions to the Wendy Faulkner Memorial Children's Foundation can be made by check to the Mason United Methodist Church, 7076 Mason-Montgomery Road, Mason 45040. Note on the check that it is for the fund.

        The church will transfer the donations to the foundation once it is established.

        Mr. Faulkner said Tuesday the goal is not simply to finance his daughters' education, but other children's as well.

        “Our goal is to make this an ongoing thing, my daughters and I agree,” he said, “as a tribute to their mother.”
