I'll never get over your passing. I loved/and still love you so much. You were soooo full of life. I still can't believe you're gone. We couldn't be more opposite...but, we connected on a very deep level. Kindred spirits for sure. It seemed everyone who met you loved you. You were a good friend to me and you will forever be loved and remembered...I miss you so much.

Though I did not know April, I know she was a good lady just by her sister Robins attitude. To Robin and her family, my deepest regrets. Loosing family is the toughest thing mankind goes through. I hope you only think of the good things you shared together and smile when you think of her. Keep the love in your heart
Uncle Bruce.

April quickly became an essential part of our Pepperock Farm family over the last year. I will personally miss her bright spirit, all our trail rides, and ability to make me laugh. My heart goes out to Carter and her family for their loss. She passed way to soon, and is in my thoughts daily. RIP April and I hope you can feel all the love in our memories of you!

In high school she always had a tape in the VCR and the TV on MTV ready to hit record every time RATT came on. It didn't matter if she had that video 20 times before shed record it again. If she was your friend you knew it. I'll miss you and wish I'd got together with you sooner. Love you girl.

I remember how caring she was, every time she brought home a new animal to save....how could I say no, I never could. I loved making her laugh and would gladly make a fool of myself to do so. I'll miss you April, please don't worry about Carter, he is in good hands.
