I cannot express how much April will be missed by so many of us. She was so sweet, kind and fun to be around! I will never forget the way she laughed, it was so contagious. April was my cousin, always has been and always will. Growing up with her was such a treat for me because it was like having another big sister.  One of the greatest memories I have of her was the way she treated me. I was the little sister she never had. I will always remember her beautiful freckled face and her beautiful smile. She will be in my memory always and I know Jehovah God will keep her in his memory too. 

Soon after her Grandmother and I were married, a very young April pulled on my pants leg and advised me " I call you Grandpa now". There is no way for me to express the sadness I feel.

thoughts & Prayers to you and the family/friends. 🙏🙏

I went to school with April .She was always so outgoing and loved life to the fullest! She will be missed by many! Sending prayers and condolences to her kids,family, and friends! R.I.P. April❤

Our family sends our love prayers and condolences to April's babies her parents and all family and friends. April was a beautiful, smart, fun,and brave young woman. A Daughter, A Mother,A Friend, and so much more!!! I remember dancing in the living room music blaring working on our moves, walking to school because we were too cool for the bus, bumping in the grand prix every where we went, and being there when she became a mommy!! April was the kind of friend I could ALWAYS count on. Whether near or far we had eachother. There are so many wonderful memories with us and so many more. I'm so thankful for the friend in her.

Wanted to send my condolences. April was a very nice young lady, she was my student at John Casablanca. She always dreamed of making it as a professional model/actress. We shared laughs and great memories. She will be missed. 

April and myself went to school together from middle school to high school. She was such a bright beautiful young lady. We have had some fun times together from school dances to team games. We kept in touch often when she moved to Dallas and myself in Houston. I love and cherish her so much and pray for her beautiful babies!!! April fly high baby girl and spread your wings 

I remember the last time I hung out with April so clearly. We were sitting in my parents living room and watched the movie Centerstage. This
memory has been playing on repeat all weekend. I’ll always cherish my time with her. April was a force of nature and I miss her. 

Sending my love to everyone who knew and loved her.
