Kevin,

I received a call this morning from Don Jagger, 9-1-1 Administrator for Atchison Co 9-1-1 in Atchison Co Missouri with the following information:

On the midnight shift of Sat Oct 22, 2005, 9-1-1 dispatcher Cyndi Meier was on duty alone, when she received a report of a 1 vehicle rollover with 6 victims involved.

Cyndi dispatched EMS , Fire and Rescue, and Law Enforcement to the scene. While units were responding, Cyndi was obtaining more information and consoling the caller who kept apologizing to her. As Cyndi calmed the caller, he advised her that one of the victims was her 19 year old son Ashton.

Cyndi stayed at her post, and continued to dispatch until she could be relieved by supervisor Don Jagger.

Ashton was flown from the scene by Life-Net helicopter to Heartland Regional Hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri where he later died from his injuries.

Ashton Meier's funeral services will be held Wednesday, October 26 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tarkio High School, in Tarkio Missouri .

Cards, prayers and letters of condolence for the center or for Cyndi may be sent to:

Work address is Atchison Co 911
P.O. Box 280
Rock Port , Mo. 64482

I know that Cyndi needs alot of support now. Anything that can be done would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, Michael L. Kindle, President - Missouri Chapter, National Emergency Number Association
