April Ann Nettles

I can not even begin to express how much April has effected my life. She was the greatest person that I have ever met. She always had this joy like no other even when she was frustrated about stuff with work. She always spoke so highly of you, her family, especially Jer-Bear and Brent. She made me want to meet you all. Even though the circumstances were not as I had planned, I am very happy that I got to. You all continue to be in my prayers. Even more so on this day. I love you all!

You know how much I loved April...she changed my life so much. I haven't been able to go one day without thinking of her and how I can live to be better in order to make the difference that she did. I know the hurt will never completely go away, but find joy in the fact that we will see her again! April will always be missed, and never forgotten. I love you guys so much, thank you for opening your hearts to me. Please keep in touch,...

Dear Nettles Family,

Dear Nettles family,
I am a student at CBC and a fellow HeartSong member with April. I would just like you to know that her sweet spirit and incredible talents were and are an inspirtaion to us all. We will all miss her greatly. I would like to thank you and the Lord for allowing us the chance to get to know her. I know that we can say with great confidence that we will see her again and that she is now worshipping in the very presence of God.

You will continue to be in...

Dear Nettles Family,
I can never find words to express how much I appreciate your family. April was such an inspriation to me on the worship team. I had actually planned to not lead a team this year. I honestly feel that God's plan was to share April with our team for a short time before He came to get her. She taught us so much. A special thank you for allowing me to be invovled in her service in Houston. You have no idea how much that meant to me. My heart prays for Christ to hold...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nettles, Jerry and Brent,

I am a student at CBC and sat beside April in our Music theory III class. Although I did not know her as well as I would have liked to, I remember one of the last times I talked to her. She was talking about her favorite thing to do: lead others into worship. I immediately felt convicted about not having the same passion about my calling as she did about hers. I think it's incredible that she is now in the presence of the Lord where...

Nettles Family,
I express my deepest sympathy for you and your family through this difficult time in your lives. I did not know April very well, but what I did know will stay with me for the rest of my life. You see I was in lab choir with her and we were both sopranos, and she sat directly behind me, and so every tuesday and thursday I was able to hear her beautiful voice in my ears when she sang. She had such a gorgeous voice, and I could just hear her angelic tone as she sang for...

Mr. and Mrs. Nettles,
I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your daughter was an inspiration to us all. We weren't very close, but every time I talked to her, I could see the love of Jesus come out. There was always a peace and joy that I felt whenever I was around her and I will never ever forget that.

I remeber the first time I saw April. It must of been about five years ago when she sang at Lindale. I remeber being in awe. I just couldn't believe that so much passion could come out of something so delicate and small. As time went on and I heard her several more times I was still always amazed. I now realize that she was just practing for the big chorus. The heavenly choir. I believe that when God puts us here he has a purpose. Some fulfill it some do not. April fulfilled hers. Sue and...
