It's so hard to believe that a year has passed since you got your angel wings. I think about you and miss you everyday. It's been hard moving on but I know I'll see you again one day in Heaven. Your always on my mind and I carry you in my heart. I love you cousin!

I love you mama. Next month will be one year since you've been gone, it still just doesn't seem real. Baby James hasn't forgotten about you. Turning 2 years old next month, he looks at your picture every day and says "mom-mom" then he points to the sky. It breaks my heart. I miss you more than anything words just couldn't even describe. Nobody can replace that special mother & daughter bond. Rest Easy Mommy. I love you so much

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of April. Her mother, Josie and I had both of our kids within weeks of each other when we lived in Stoney Chase Court. It just seems like yesterday. Only God can give of the reasons why to all our questions. Keep the faith and some day soon you'll all be together again. That is God's promise. Love to All -- Betty, Timmy and Kimberly

To my beautiful Guardian Angel, April: I know you were watching over all of us yesterday at your service. You looked so beautiful even in death. I promised you several months ago that I would never leave you and here it was you that had to leave me. I miss seeing you and talking to you everyday. I would not trade your last night on this earth that we spent together for anything in the world. I sat and watched you all night with my hands folded in prayer asking God to please take you home. I couldn't stand to watch you suffer anymore. I know you heard me talking to you and reading scripture to you. When you awoke that morning, you had that sparkle back in your eyes and I knew right then, you were listening to me throughout the night. I am blessed that I got to spend your last night here in this world with you. There is an emptiness inside of me that only time will heal. I will treasure all of our memories forever.....especially the fun times we had growing up and the in depth talks we would always have these last few months. Just like the Guardian Angel wind chime I brought you back from my trip, you are now one of them. I know you will watch over all of us. Rest in peace beautiful girl. I'll see you in Heaven one day. I love you...........Melis
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

April, I'm so sorry you had to go through this.Im sorry I wasn't there more in the end. I can still remember the first time I saw you it was one of our first days in middle school in the cafeteria sitting with your friends I thought you were the most beautiful girl I ever saw. You know I had a crush on you until we got into high school.i always cared for you.then we graduated and lost touch. I always wondered what happened to you.Then we ran into each other in Baltimore and got reconnected and rode back and forth from there to elkton every morning together and just talked the whole way then you started to pick me up every saturday and you knew you could tell me anything and I would keep it private I will always hold those days in my heart. We could talk about anything with out being judged you are a very special friend with such a big heart I will never forget our long but short friendship .Im sorry I just can't handle coming to your service you no why we talked about it.I will never forget you you were one of the only people who knew the real Chris I will miss you .You will always be in my thoughts and heart Good bye my friend I hope to see you on the other side LOVE Chris

Dear Josie and Family, You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your precious daughter April. I know your heart is breaking. A mother should not have to bury her child. I remember how sad my mother was when she lost her son Jim. Please know you are daily in my prayers for God to give you comfort. I will be in touch with you. Thinking of you everyday.

I have alot of fond memories of April. We were together alot as kids and always had sleepovers. I remember when I was spending the night with April and we were practicing cutting hair. We cut the hair off of her new Baby Chrissy Doll and a couple select barbies. My Aunt Josie was hot!!!! We just talked about that only a couple weeks ago. We talked about alot these past few months....... I miss you dearly April but I know your a beautiful ANGEL in Heaven now with no more pain or sadness. I love you cuz!

How do I wrap a life time of memories into a message for you. Especially when so much of your life I have lived so far away in Ak. I' m still having a hard time believing that you are really gone. I was fairly young when you were born. I used to babysit for you & your brother while your mom & dad worked. We all lived in Stoney Chasetrailer court back then. Mom mom & pop pop managed the park, you guys lived across the street, & Kas & her kids lived next door. Pretty cool to have family so close back then. I was sort of the babysitter for all you kids. Me & the Rowe twins, they were my girlfriends, we would babysit you & Eddie while your mom & dad went out or went to work. You were just a tiny, fair, blue eyed, chunky baby. Always had the bluest of eyes, & a sweet smile. You were a good baby, a quiet little child. Most of my memories are through pictures of you & Eddie that your mom would send me. You could always see how much you loved & looked up to your brother. Very sweet. I still have pictures of you sitting at the piano during your recital. We were such a close family back then. I rememberthe days in the trailer park, the house in Rollingsville, we all pitched in cleaning & painting, how happy your mom was over the paint colors she picked out for your dining room in your house in Bay View. I spent a good bit of time with you guys then to. Trips made to come see us in FLA. And when I took you kids to ocean city. I was in from AK.You spent so much time burying Nick in the sand. You really seemed to have a good time. Your Mom surprised us by showing up the next day. That was a great trip. You were always there to greet us when we would come to visit from AK. Such a pretty girl but then you grew up, became a mother & oh my how beautiful you were. I would sit and almost stare, you were so stunningly beautiful. You had a pretty full life. Faced a lot of hardships. I am so sorry that life was not a more kind to you. I love you & this isn't goodbye.
