On behalf of the Wilkinson family, I send our condolences to April´s family and loved ones. April had the biggest heart, full of love for everyone. She was a second mother to my brother, Michael, and he has asked me to send this remembrance. Michael carries with him the lessons she taught and is so grateful for the love and acceptance she showed not only to him but to everyone she knew. We are so sorry for your loss and will remember April always as we honor her memory by being better people for having known her.
