Sasha was our dear friend. He had the biggest and kindest heart. He could light up a room with his smile. He loved life and celebrated it to the fullest. He cared deeply for his friends and family and we cared deeply for him.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Sasha Lygin went to his job as a computer programmer for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th floor of Tower 1 of the WTC. He did not come home.

Like many of the friends and family of the people who worked in the Towers, we held out hope that Sasha would come out of the rubble safe and sound so that we could see that incredible smile one more time. But he did not. And our lives were forever changed.

To Sasha's family and fellow friends who loved him dearly, we raise our glass to the sky in remembrance of our sweet friend. One who's memory will touch our hearts forever.

We love you Sasha.
