Gina, Cliff and Fred,

Needless to say, we were in shock when we heard the sad news about April. We are so glad we had a chance to speak with each of you at your dad's funeral, and we want you to know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. Although we know that Fred and April are happy in Heaven with your mom, we can only imagine how difficult it must be to lose two of your loved ones
in such a short time. We pray that the Good Lord will give you the strength to move forward with your lives and be happy as your mom and dad would want you to do.

Much love,
Hoap and Brenda Reeves

Although it has been a long time since I've seen April, I have the fondest memories of her. She was always such a sweet and quiet person. She was always laughing and smiling and just a pleasant person to be around. She will be missed. Thompson family, I know you've had a very hard time recently and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

When I heard the news of April’s passing my heart seemed to skip a beat. The reality of losing such an incredible person that could brighten your day is such a great loss. Her incredible smile and heartfelt laugh was truly contagious. High school was a long time ago and it had been years since I last saw April but I will never forget her. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends. I know that she will be truly missed.
