April was on my team at CASS and she will be truely missed. I enjoyed the time I had with her and she had lots of frineds here. She always had something nice to say about everyone and this is one of the reasons she did have so many friends. She got to work down in our clothing store, in fact she pretty much was running it. She enjoyed it so much and she said it brought back memories of when she worked at Younkers. You have my condolences and I'm so sorry for you loss.

I am deeply saddened by April's untimely death. The year that I knew April I saw so many wonderful changes in her and she was becoming the woman that she wanted to be. I will miss her
