April was Very smart, could do anything she put her mind to and absolutely loved her family and friends. She was always happy go lucky, even when she was down in the dumps she'd try to make you laugh. I'm going to miss her like crazy. R.I.P. April... God's newest Angel. less

I am extremely heartbroken over her passing we just had lunch only two weeks ago and shared laughs and hugs. I was looking forward to the summer months with her and Billy. We had talked about so many plans. I found a really good friend in her and I am going to really miss her. Rest in peace my dear friend. less
April was definitely a free spirit. She had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen! I loved her for many reasons but mostly because she made my long time friend, Billy, so happy. They were great together. My heart felt condolences to Bill and all of her... moreApril was definitely a free spirit. She had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!

I will miss seeing you by Billy's side at all of the shows! less

I only knew April for a short time while she worked at the American Red Cross. I was her trainer and i got to know her one on one. From the short time i knew her she was an amazing, driven person. Her and i had many heart to heart conversations while on our breaks. She definitely was a person i needed to meet. She will be missed dearly. My heart goes out to her family during this sudden, tragic loss ❤️🩹 less
I am so sorry sorry to hear this. I am Aprils cousin and have fond memories of us growing up, especially around Christmas time. I thought she had the best hair, when we were younger, it feathered perfectly. 😊. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
