Jane was on United Airlines Flight 175 which was crashed into the World Trade Center by hijackers on September 11, 2001 (CNN's list of victims).

To pay tribute to Jane, her friends made a donation in her name to a fund that meant something to her: the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Below are details of our unified contribution in Jane's memory.

The Jane Simpkin ASPCA Memorial Fund collected a total of $1,248.00. A check for the full amount was contributed in Jane's memory to the ASPCA on April 23, 2002.

I have received an acknowledgement letter from the CEO of the ASPCA thanking us for the donation in Jane's name. As soon as I can get a good scan of this letter I will publish it here.

If you would like to make more contributions in Jane's name (or your own) to the ASPCA, please go to their website for information on how to do so (they offer many easy ways to send donations).

Jane's family set up a scholarship fund in the law school she had just started. If you would like to contribute to this fund you should make the checks out to the "Jane Simpkin Memorial Scholarship Fund" and mail your donation to:
