Guestbook
Although I only had the pleasure of knowing April for a brief time, her kindness and wonderful personality made a lasting impression. Two things about her were quite obvious; first that she had a close personal relationship with her God, and that it truly made a difference in the way she conducted herself, both personally and professionally. It was easy to see that she exuded the warmth, peace, and concern for others that were the products of her faith. I hope and pray that those who knew her will be inspired to seek and live out the same faith and Christian values which made April such a truly beautiful person.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. All our love. Jerry Donna Belitz Geraldine McCalman
