11 attacks.
Funeral services were held Sunday for Lt. Marci Simms, 51, of Long Island. She died of lung cancer at her home on Thursday.

first responders who worked at ground zero. They said she spent more
than four months doing rescue, recovery and cleanup work among the
smoldering rubble, and later became ill.
