Not sure what to say?

Heather and family. I was so very sorry to hear about your mom´s passing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Keep your memories close and she will always be with you.

Everyone who cared for my kindergartener knew April and loved her (she knew that the pick-up person at the end of our driveway changed daily ) On the first day of Young 5's she dropped off my daughter and said "I just love her, I'm so glad she's on my bus this year!" I felt immense relief knowing that my child was being taken care of daily by someone who loved her. I can think of countless instances where April went out of her way to keep my daughter safe. I can't thank her enough for that,...

April was very kind to our family at church. We remember their family camping out at Swain Lk. It was a surprise that she passed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Owen & Esther Oswald

Heartfelt Condolences Arrangement- BASKET INCLUDED

April was the epitome of a Western bus driver. Her passengers became "her kids" and she treated them as her own. She never had to "write a student up" as she took it as a mission to get the desired behavior through kindness and compassion! A bright light in the lives of all who knew her, she and Ron often chaperoned out eighth grade students to Cedar Point. It was always calming to me with 150 students to know they were by my side. While I knew her from work, she became a friend who...

April was a pillar in her family, at her work and just to everyone who had the blessing of knowing her. She was always there when you needed her and her love just radiated through. We pray that all of the memories you created together will help give you comfort through the coming days. She is a light that will burn forever in your hearts and she will be truly missed. Praying for her peaceful...
