April,
Hey mamas!!! I friggin miss you so much geez it’s just yesterday we were running away and being our wild selves and it’s been almost 13 years already since you left us. I still ask why cuz I don’t understand but I also still feel you often reminding me you are right there and I know you are celebrating with us. Steve misses you too very much. We talk about you often. And dream about you as well. I love when you visit in my dreams. It’s a blessing to see that smile LOL. Where has time went I can’t believe we are in the 30s. 1,2 step baby. Numb encore. Remember when you used to call just to play our songs together and listen LOL before FaceTime and all that existed? Good times. Forever in my heart woman. I miss your face and smile and your amazing hugs and love. You are still my sista for life no matter where you are we will unite again someday. I know you won’t forget about me. Wish you could come back for me lol happy bearthday beautiful I’ll write again later. Love you and miss you lots..

Hello everybody that comes in here to send April a message. My name is Kendra and unfortunately I do not have the money to keep this on here forever. I do not know if ther is anybody else but I understand times are hard. Since that is the case and this page may not be on here after 10/3/09 I have developed a myspace page in loving memory of April. It is a free site and will be there forever. For those who would like to continue leaving comments feel free to add her on your myspace page you have it( if not they are very easy to make all you need is an email address, go to myspace.com and sign up) her url is www.myspace.com/r.i.p_aprilmarievannicolo. Add her as a friend and you will be accepted as soon as I log back in. Everybody is welcome. I love and miss April and wanted to make sure there was a place for us to have contact to leave messages and remember her. If anybody has pictures PLEASE let me know because I only have 1 from her and a few of my own but I must download them to a computer. Thank-you and my love goes out to April
P.S if you have pictures feel free to contact me via her myspace page or here for now.

Hey girl! You dont know what just happened. I was almost just finished writing this when my daughter pushed a button and it got deleted. lol but that was long and now I have to redo it. but its all good. I love you and miss you soo much. you mean the world to us and I wish you could see my babise grow. its amazing how they grow so fast. everytime I come to this page I just think about all the things that we could be doing right now. I wish you could be here to see my children. well you met my husband and my son but you just missed my daughter. she will be 1 yr. on sept. 16th which you know cuz you heard my voice mails i was leaving you . your mom told me you were happy. we were in shock that it was a girl but you did say that you thought it was a girl and you hoped it was. she is our little princess. she reminds me of you sometimes. she is always full of joy. I still have a piece of your blanket that you gave me like 6 yrs. ago. I will never get rid of that. it is a piece of you that is close to my heart always. I only found a few pics of us from a few yrs ago. they are safe also. I love yo uvery much and miss you like crazy.

I don't really miss you April, cause this life will pass me by. I don't want to miss you April, cause i feel you by my side. I wish I had more time with you, while you were alive. But its o.k. I'll see you again, and we'll live to the end of time. I won't ever miss you April, cause I know that your inside. You never really left me here, to be alone with time. You left behind a piece of you, that's in this heart of mine. I gave my heart for you to have, so i hope you liked my rhyme.
it's never goodbye
it's i'll see you later
Love You,

Happy Birthday!!! I will celebrate for you. We are going to have fun today because I know you are here with me. I miss you so much! You were the closest to a sister that I ever had. I love you and I always will, dont you ever forget that. You meant the world to me as a sister and my best friend. I know you are happy where you are but dont forget that people back home still love you. I know you are with Brooke so tell her I miss her too!!! You's will always be in my heart and I will always remember you. I think about you everyday and reminisce about the good times we had. We got into alot of things as kids and I dont regret anything we did because I did it with you. I wish you were here to see my kids grow its amazing!!! I believe that we will be together again someday. I am and always was here for you. I walked for you in the rain and I would have walked in worse if needed. April you were such a sweet person and you always brightened up somebodys day. I just wish you were still here so we could share these moments together. And as soon as I get a little bit more money I will be down to see you I promise. April I love you and I will be back soon.

Dear Dee and Dave,
Be strong and trust God to bring you through this stronger, wiser and more full of love than ever before.
To the rest of the family, I just wanted to let you all know that I really enjoyed meeting all of you today. I only met April once, but I learned many great things about her over the past several days. I wish I could've gotten to know her better while she was here. I was excited to learn that April was saved and I will be spending eternity with her in Heaven. I pray that all of April's brothers and sisters will remember that there is only one way to to see her again and that is to ask Jesus into your heart. There is peace in knowing that April is in Heaven now singing and dancing with the Angels. May God use this tragedy for good and bring you all closer to each other and to the Lord. If any of you need a friend, a hug or a shoulder, just write to me.
