Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us everyday...
unseen, unheard, but always near,

Remembering April on this 15th anniversary of her passing...

To the Visco and Shovlin Families,
I just found out about April's passing and wanted to entend my sympathy and condolence on behalf of me and my brothers Tony and Joe. I knew April during the high school years. I knew her mainly on a social level seeing her at parties. She was always so friendly and kind with a warm smile. I remember the fundraiser that the community had on her behalf back then-she was so humble and took it in stride that so many people came out to support her and make a fuss. In reading the guest book entries I can see she was well loved and will be fondly remembered and never forgotten. Take care-our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Michael,
You and April have been in my thoughts since I heard the sad news. I think of the time we all spent back in Indiana, PA and how fun and how easy it was to be around you both. I wish that life was fair but it isn't sometimes. April was just the best - full of grace, wisdom, strength, and humility. So beautiful, so caring - it broke my heart for you and your children to lose her.
You've got another ally in heaven watching over you and your family now. You can still see her every day - in the eyes and smiles of your children. And you WILL see her again someday. Remember, Michael, that she chose YOU. And she chose you for a REASON. Be strong for those kids, for yourself and for April. My prayers are with you all.
God bless April and the Visco and Shovlin families.
Sincerely,
Grace Di Thomas-Di Virgilio

Our deepest sympathies. We just heard of April's passing. I will always remember April as the beautiful girl in a straw hat watching the love her life playing ball at Frick park.

April was the KINDEST person I ever met. She was as tough as they come until the very end. I will miss her greatly. She truly did have the will of a worrior. She will always live on through those four beutifull children. Stay strong Mike.

It was with deep sadness that I learned of April's passing. I may not have known her personally, but she touched so many lives just with her presence. My son, Stevie, has played with Marley at the pool. I cannot imagine what you all must be going through. Please find peace in knowing that she will always be in your hearts and your extra special guardian angel. May the sadness you are feeling now soon be replaced with the love you will all carry with you forever. May god hold all of your hearts in the palm of his hands. We all were blessed just by her presence.

April's Showers of Love
It is hard for us to understand
the Lord's mysterious way
It gives you small comfort
for what your friends, they will say
None can tell of your pain
the empty space you must feel
For your loss of April now
seems your heart may never heal
Four reminders you have
to see her in them each day
But to explain to each why
it will be hard to ever say
Children are the greatest
gift we can give
It's a testament to all
of how April lives
I wished there was something
that someone could do
To ease the great heartache each day
that you must carry through
The memories that you have
of pain now and joy when
Will bring you through the tough times
the remembrances of her and then
The love that you built
and the children you'd make
She will always be with you
and no one can ever take
You carry your love
like a weight from above
My prayers are with you
much respect for Mike Shov
-mac
those that we hold in our arms for a little while,
we hold in our hearts forever…

Dear Michael,
I just learned today the sad news of the loss of your wife. My mom called to let me know. Though it has been many years since the "alley days of Wilkinsburg" and playing in the playhouse at 435 South Ave., I still have fond memories of growing up with all the neighborhood kids. I just wanted to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of April and to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
Lisa

I first met April as a young woman when she hung out with her friends in front of Burke's Deli where I worked. She was always polite and well mannered unlike some of the others. Our paths crossed again when a high school classmate (Cathrine Wandless) dated her brother Tony. Although Tony and Cathy didn't marry, April and she were closer than any sisters-in-law could be. Through the years I heard of her marriage, her beautiful children and of her second batttle with cancer via Cathrine. My heart breaks for her loved ones loss. She truely is a spirt who's light will never fade.

Not knowing the struggle your family has been facing, it broke my heart to hear of your loss. I look back at the old 'Wilkinsburg' days and remember the little boy that always wore a belt. All of you have grown up and started your own personal history. Although, I didn't know April you have my heartfelt sympathy. Ah yes, your mom will welcome her in and they will share a few stories, now. God Bless them both.

Our hearts ache for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a great wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend and the list goes on. You must be feeling overwhelmed and in shock, thus the numbness. That numbness, or fog, is our way of protecting ourselves from what feel too painful to bear. It will wear off when you're ready to feel again. We hope that you find some degree of comfort knowing how many people send their prayers of concern and support. She will be missed but will NOT be forgotten. We pray for her family which meant so much to her. Her images were a gift to each of us in different ways. April, we look upward towards the heavens today and send you a gentle smile. Peaceful prayers are sent your way.
Keep in mind to please take comfort in the fact that she will always be there with you in your hearts.
You're all in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathies.
Love,
