  • Shawn Perry had just picked up his children, Luke, Logan, and Morgan to fly them to Safford for Thanksgiving

PHOENIX (AP) It's been a difficult time for an Apache Junction woman who lost her three children and her ex-husband in a pre-Thanksgiving plane crash last year in the Superstition Mountains.

Karen Perry tells Phoenix TV station KTVK (http://bit.ly/10BH5ef) that November "has been a very emotional month," but it has taught her a greater appreciation for everything in her life.

Perry's children Morgan, Logan and Luke were killed in the Nov. 23 crash along with her former husband, Shawn Perry.

Two other men aboard the plane also died in the crash in the rugged mountains 40 miles east of downtown Phoenix.

Authorities say the plane hit a cliff less than five minutes after taking off from Mesa's Falcon Field.
