Joan Cullinan, 47 (SNYT)

It was one of those sister things, not easily understood by the outside world. Joan was T.M.G.F. Her sister Blaise was T.O.G.F., and her third sister Brenda was T.Y.G.F.

The initials could mystify others. But the sisters knew what they mean: the middle girlfriend, the older girlfriend, and the younger girlfriend. The girlfriends ate oysters together at the Blue Water Grill in Manhattan, and even vacationed together in Paris.

Throughout her life, Ms. Cullinan - assistant to the president at Cantor Fitzgerald - seemed to have a knack for making a large group of friends feel as close as sisters. "She was kind of like a girl's girl, a woman's woman," her husband Tom said. Ms. Cullinan had a long career in business, and was in the middle of changing directions on September 11th.

She and her husband had been married in the summer of 2000, and they had just began filling out paperwork to try to adopt a child from China. She had also sent out applications to graduate schools to pursue a degree in social work.

"Maybe one of these days we'll get an acceptance letter," Mr. Cullinan said.
