    I don’t know any of you “kids”. I did get to know April. I live in the Village at Wesley Manor and I was in the “lunch bunch” with your mom. She will be missed by our group so much. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    What a kind lady is what I remember, also very quiet and just a pleasure to have worked with her at National Cigar for several years. Rest in peace, Mrs. Thacker.

    Teresa and Rob,
    So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I still remember the long conversations we had over the phone. She was such a nice person and was always concerned about her family that she loved so much. I also loved hearing her stories about back home in Kentucky. May your wonderful memories of her bring you comfort. Revelation 21:4
