Lia Beamer: A New Hero Emerges
Lisa Beamer: A New Hero Emerges She took to the skies to make a
statement against fear, against terrorism, and as an expression
of her personal faith in God. She met with Todd's associates in
the hope of raising funds for the Todd M. Beamer Foundation,
dedicated to assisting the 22 children who lost parents aboard
Flight 93. Her hope is that those child- ren will grow up into
the kind of people who "can make courageous and and moral
decisions."
And so recently a new hero has emerged- as Lisa Beamer retraced
her late husband's steps- boarding the same Newark to San Fran-
cisco flight that Todd Beamer took that terrible day in
September 2001. She completed the flight he began, meeting with
associates, that Todd was on his way to visit.
With a daughter, Morgan Kay, born in January Lisa Beamer is now
the surviving mom of three, as Morgan joins brothers, David and
Drew. Lisa reports that little Morgan has Todd's hair color,
chin and eyes.
Lisa was named 'one of the world's most intruiging persons of
the year 2001 by People magazine. On January 18, 2002, Lisa
announced that Tyndale House publishers will publish her story
of the ill fated flight 93, to give people a behind the scenes
look at her late husband Todd Beamer.
She has started the Todd Beamer Memorial fund, which will aid
victims of the disaster as well as Todd's favorite charities.
