Paul, I first met you when April was a baby. I loved all their names, we were so young. "Sing to the Lord you saint's", praise his holy name."For his anger last only a moment, weeping may remain for a night, but joy will come in the morning. God bless!

Our beautiful April will always by forever part of our hearts. I remember April at 3yrs old sleeping in my lap. I always love those beautiful curls, most of the time in her face. So many memories since then. I watched Taylor being born, her wedding to to Jason. April was a beautiful bride.Then along came Macie so beautiful like her momma. The suprise of twins as her little family grew. Watching her mother her little ones, such a good mother. Then holding her again as she grieve the loss of Launa (her mother). She was a best friend to us both. We cant beleive you are gone April.There will always be a place that is yours in our hearts. To Jason and the kids I love you and you are daily in my prayers. To Summer and Sunshine I have loved you since you were 4 and 5. I am always only a phone call away.
