this is the sister of the girl (Gabby) who was on tv waiting at the next station for her to arrive. I saw her on tv all evening getting more and more desperate for not being able to reach her sister....so very sad that she is one of the victims.

Chris was my cousin. Like often happens, we grew apart as adults and your death, Chris, makes me so sad and want to go back in time. My love to your wife and kids and Uncle Ted. Thanks, Chris, for the memories. I was just looking at that picure of us in front of the Trans Am not too long ago. Love, Melanie

Walt was a fine person and an excellent air traffic controller. He always seemed to have a grin on his face, and he brightened our days. He will be missed. Our condolences to his family.

Above all, Walt was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, living his life to the glory of God. He was a loving and caring husband and father who lived for his family..walked his daughter down the aisle, cheered proudly as his other daughter graduated college, and supported his son at his many baseball games! This is the legacy he leaves behind.

He was a true family man; he loved his wife, son, and mom. He had the humility of Christ and was never concerned with building himself up. He loved entertaining kids and never shied away from laughing at himself. We will miss him and are deeply heartbroken over his tragic death. He is with our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Doyle was a loving, caring, devoted man to his wife and children. In spending time with his family, you could tell what kind of man he was by who they are. He was the cornerstone of his family and a committed Christian. May God grant his family peace and strength during this surreal time in their lives.
