To Desiree, Kathy and Frank,



Losing April is losing a member of the Brickman family. We've known April for more than 32 years. There's a family bond that is so much more that just social friendship. We've shared so very much---cheers and tears. From me and Jeff and James, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The comfort you all seek and deserve will come from your great friends and family. All of the Brickmans send their love.
