Monday, August 16th 2004 was the 17th anniversary of the crash of Northwest Flight #255.
I lost my son Ron Geiger, his beautiful wife Val and my two gorgeous grandaughters
Lisa and Lauren in this horrible senseless plane crash.
I am working hard at helping others because that is what Ron would have wanted me to do.
I pray that others do not forget all the wonderful people that died on August 16, 1987.
Especially the people of Phoenix, Arizona where most of the 154 deceased lived.
We pray for them and we miss them terribly.

It is pretty amazing when I am thumbing through the photos on the website
and came across a photo submitted by Kathy Kurasch
of her Mother who was on the EgyptAir 990. She was sitting with my step-mother, Maurine Ross when the plane went down.
They were on a pleasure trip together to Egypt.
I think so often of the two of them together.

I lost my brother in-law, Roberto Jimenez, 36 and my Godson, Jayke Jimenez, 10 months and 8 days old on American Airlines, Flight 587 on November 12, 2001. Both of you were taken so suddenly from our lives , what was to be a proud father bringing his baby son to show the family in Santo Domingo turned tragic, ripping you both apart from our lives. Roberto we miss seeing you preparing breakfast on the stove and seeing how happy you were with all the children. Baby Jayke, only 10 months old you touched so many of us even strangers with your happy smile all time and your eagerness to want to talk and walk to join the gang with your brothers & sisters. We love you and miss you both terribly. We'll always hold you in our hearts, ROBERTO & JAYKE.
