I don't know this young lady who has passed away, way to young. My heart goes out to her precious mother whose life will again be the same as well as to her children and other family. Being a mother who has lost my own son, my only child, I know the pain her Mother is going to endure until her last breath.
((((((HUGEHUGS))))) to all who are impacted by this great loss!!!

Dear Maxine,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the recent loss of April. I cannot fathom what it´s like to lose a child. This world is a sadder place without her.
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ hold you in the palm of His hand.

My Precious Friend, Maxine,
Your beautiful Daughter is beautiful just like her Mother. I cannot express the pain I feel for your loss.
I have loved you from the first day we met at Whitmell School. You have always been so special to me although, I never met your family, my love has remained the same. If there is anything that I can do for you, I will my Darling.
A friend Forever.........Abigale Melton Eisenberg
