April was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather Charles King; paternal grandmother Violet Smythe King; maternal grandfather William B. Hamilton; uncle Alvin Smythe; and cousin Ryan Hamilton.

There will be a private memorial service in her honor. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Bolin-Dierkes Funeral Home, 1271 Blue Avenue, Zanesville.

We was close friends at one time but time seems to slip away from us all. As we go through life we tend to become more distant from our close friends but in our hearts we will never forget them. My deepest condolences go out to Aprils family and her brother. I grew up with them and have good memories that I will keep forever.

When you feel you're going under, hold tighter to my hand. "Lean on me, when you have no strength to stand, and on me when your heart begins to bleed. When you come to the place that I'm all you have, you'll find I'm all you need."
