In Memory of Stacey Lynn Peak

Stacey Lynn Peak was 36 years old and from New York, N.Y. Stacey worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.


This picture was taken on Stacey's first day with Cantor Fitzgerald in New York City in 1999. The Twin Towers are pictured in the backdrop.

Shortly before 9am on September 11, 2001, a confused and frightened Stacey managed to place a brief call to her then 76 year old mother, Bobbie Peak, in Tell City.

Stacey didn't know a plane had struck the building, but she knew that a fire, a bad fire, had broken out. Smoke was everywhere. She was trapped and she didn't know if she would be able to get out. Her mother could hear the sounds of chaos on the other end of the line. Stacey then told her mother one final time that she loved her.
