April used to be a frequent visitor to our house. It has been too long that I haven't seen or talked to her and now she is gone. I will miss her smile and her sense of humor. Like everyone, I was shocked to hear of her passing. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends. God bless you.
I worked with April for approximately 6 months at the Huntley South McDonald's. We became friends through work. She was always a pleasure to talk to. I'm going to miss her smile and pleasant nature. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. May God bless your family during this most difficult time.
We are so saddened by the loss of April She was a loving and wonderful woman. May God comfort you all in this difficult time. We will miss her very much ! All our love to you!
To April's Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with April at the Cary Jewel. I was there for 22 years and worked in the Meat market till I retried 4 yrs ago. April was always a pleasant person to be around, funny and always neat in her appearance. She loved her black clothing, I guess that was her fashion statement . It is sad that someone so young is gone way to soon, but just maybe God needed another Angel and April was just what he needed. God Bless your Family at this time of sadness. Janet Wills .
Healing Love April , In our Hearts Forever. Gone are the Days we used to share. But in our Hearts you're always there. Never more than a thought away. Loved and Remembered Every Day.
Tootsie and Bill, May the love of our Lord see you through this difficult time. May April in God's arms find peace, free from health issues and your love surround her in her heavenly home.
So very sorry to hear of Aprils passing. I worked with April at Jewel years ago, as well as being a Cary neighbor. God bless your entire family, - I will always remember her very tender heart. Donna
