Nikki..

I am writing this later than I should have.

Yesterday, at 11:11am my friend Nikki Kukwa passed away from leukemia. She was getting better for a while, but it eventually overtook her. She was a good person, and a great member of the flight team. She was the best at the Safety interview and won the award for us twice.

One of the things I remember most is during the 2004 flight team regionals at KSU she sang the national anthem and messed it up! She stopped and I know she was embarrased, but she started again and did it perfectly. I'm not going to say it wasn't funny, but now that you think about it, she could have run away right there.

If you get the chance to do something extraordinary today, maybe something you wouldn't normally do, please do it for her and remember that you can always start again.
Thanks
