Balloons released in memory of Hwy. 412 crash victim

JACKSON, Tenn. — Families and friends released balloons for a loved one Wednesday.

At Catfish Cabin, friends and family of Chasity Thomas, a former employee at Catfish Cabin, gathered to remember her.

Thomas was killed in a car crash on Highway 412 Tuesday.

Thomas was 29 years old.

Co-workers say she was friendly and always smiling.

“Right now, we just lost a family member to us, and it’s something that we can not bear. It is a hard pill to swallow,” said Eugene Harris, a co-worker. “We will continue to push on in her memory and continue to be there for her family and anyone we can.”

Thomas leaves behind her husband and two children.
