Dear Sharp Family,

While looking through some old boxes and photos I have recently came across some photos of a girl named April Sharp. I decided to “Google” to find out what has happened to her as we have not seen each other for almost 12 years. I was shocked to find out that the April I knew may have passed away.

I have looked several pictures and tried to compare the April I knew from 12 year age to the April on the
online “guestbook”. I am afraid it could be her; but it is so hard to imagine that I could be right.

The April I knew if from New Jersey and went to the University of Colorado at Boulder. She also used to work at Domino’s pizza and I helped her to move into her first townhouse about 12 years ago off of University Boulevard in Littleton, Colorado.

Forgive me for intruding into your life but April and I were good friends and I have many fond memories about her. Will you please let me know? Please feel free to call me any time 303-519-0928, or if you prefer via email at [email protected]

Thank you so much!

My Sharp Family, John, Carla, MaryLou, and children,
We are so sorry to hear about April. We know what it is to loose a child. I know we don't get to see you as we would like to.
Here is a poem in remembrance to April. She will remain with you forever.
Our love and prayers are sent to you and the family. gloria

I Did Not Die:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
by Mary Frye (1932)

John and Carla, Lynette and Rob, Kevin and Margie, Deb and Bob, Butch and Diane, and especially Mary Lou,

With out having experienced the loss of a
child, it would be impossible for anyone to be able to imagine the magnitude of the loss you must all be feeling.

April was so special in so many ways. I know how much Landon loves his Mommy and I will pray that his loss and pain will be softened by the grace of God. May peace be with you, and April.

Love,
Bob Johnson, Denver, Colorado

Dear Sharp Family,

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. April was a beautiful inspiration to us all. Rest assured that her spirit will always be a part of your lives.

Margie Sharp

May 30, 2009

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Sharp family during this difficult time. April and my daughter were friends in high school and I remember April as being a free spirited young lady who would always bring a smile to your face with her antics! Cherish the memories and how April touched lives in the special way that only she could.

My heart is sad with the loss of April. The loss must be very difficult for family members to comprehend and deal with. April was a beautiful woman and had a rich presence that made a difference in whatever setting we were in. She could be so open with her feelings and thoughts. I feel blessed to have known her and to have been even a small part of her life. I am very sorry for your loss.

To John, Carla and the Sharp family. I want you all to know how sorry I am for your loss...April was a very good friend to me for the time I got to share with her! Her and I had a lot of good times and for that I am thankful! We come across alot of people in our lifetime but when you came across April you knew she was something different! This maybe why her and I got along so well. I will miss her crazyness, all the wild stories and our little outings, me with my margarita and her with her cigar sitting on the back patio @ The river front...I feel very blessed to have these memories of her. John, Carla you had a wonderful daughter not that you didn't know that...but I thank you for letting me be a part of her even if it was for a short time!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
