There is a great deal of confusion over a memorial for the victims of Swissair flight 111.

Two hundred and twenty-nine people died when the passenger jet crashed into the ocean off Nova Scotia last September.

A memorial is supposed to be unveiled on the first anniversary, September 2. But a description by one spokesperson left many people wondering how anyone would know what the tribute is all about.

The memorial will not include the name of the airline, the flight number, the fact that 229 people died, or even that there was any kind of aviation disaster.

Within hours, spokesperson Joe Gillis, who gave those initial details was backtracking. "Perhaps I spoke prematurely. Nothing's been finalized yet. Nothing's been determined."

Gillis won't say why he described the monument the way he did. He refuses to say if that's how the memorial committee is leaning. "Like I said, nothing's been determined yet."

He says the decision on what will be written on the memorial will be made in the next couple of weeks. No other members of the committee will comment on the matter.

But Nancy White will. Her 18-year-old daughter was killed on Swissair flight 111. "I really think the Swissair name should be on the memorial," she said, "I mean, it's part of history."

White says it seems the committee hasn't reached a consensus yet. But she needs them to find one soon.

The anniversary of the crash is less than two months away, and there are two monuments that must be completed.

One will go over an interment site where 29 coffins of unidentified human remains will be buried. Another will be placed at the spot where families gathered to grieve and where they will soon gather once more to remember those they lost.
