One of my photos from April & Steve´s wedding. I miss them so much Jackie

I am so sorry to hear about April's death. I was a classmate of April's in Palos Park in middle school. Even then she was a gifted and remarkable person. I have all of her books and enjoyed them immensely. I remember her kindness, her beauty and bright spirit. I pray for comfort and strength to Stephen and all her family in this time of grief. With love, Marlene Johnson

I met her when I was 6 at the bus stop, first grade. She was my life long best friend. The deep pain of her loss is immeasurable. I don´t have the gift of words, like she did, but I think of her family every day, and my heart has a hole that will never be filled. NBL, Jackie Moe Pernal

Steve, so sorry about April. What a wonderful human being. My heart felt condolences to you and the family. Many good memories with you and April. I miss those days. God bless you. Pat Acuff. 208-660-3203

I am really sorry to hear about April. My friendship with Steve & April was fantastic and the memories will always be cherished. With my thoughts, Gary

I have fond memories of our thanksgivings together with Lisa, Steve, April, Mike and Ashley drinking mimosas, watching football, saying what we thankful for at their home in Bellevue and looking outside the window at their horse(s) and Binky the goat, which managed to eat all the flowers. RIP April.

April selflessness and graciously read a draft of my book and made valuable suggestions. We shared a love of writing.
