First and formost I am the proud Mother of Hidi Ja Ratliff who died August 16, 1987 on Northwest Flight 255. Second I was a Single Engine Flight Instructor in Southern California. I was Born in Toledo, Ohio and moved to CA when Hidi was 2 years old. It was me and her against the World. She was my Light, My Beacon, My Reason for living!

I have an Appraisal Company, that she also worked at. We did everything together. Ride Bikes, snow ski, water ski, jet ski and just had lots of fun. She was not only My Daughter, she was my very best friend.
