To April, Bud, Frank and the rest of Karen Thomas's family. Karen was such a sweet lady and she was always wearing a smile on her face. I am honored to have been friends with her and to have known her for so long. I'm so sorry she's gone so soon. It's just not fair! Sending my love to all of you! My heart breaks for all of you!
