Kim, Stephanie, and Tim,
So sorry for your loss, Aunt April was a wonderful Aunt to me. She was always interested in what was going on in my life and I knew that each year in her Christmas card that I sent her, that she would want a picture, because she cherished pictures so much.
I wish that I could make it to her funeral today, but was unable to make plans with such short notice.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Love always, Phil and Susan Brethold
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry I could not attend the funeral. I have been friends with April since 1st day of high school. I will miss our lengthy talks. We shared many wonderful times together. May she rest in God’s loving arms.
April used to come in to our store for some basic items. It was good to talk to her. Sorry to hear of her passing I will miss talking to her. May she rest in peace. Prayers go out to her family and love ones
My name is Kathy. I did Aprils hair for slot of years. I had a feeling something happened to her when I hadn’t heard from her. She was always making sure her hair looked nice. I’m sorry for all of her family, she was a wonderful woman . If you can look me up on Facebook Kathy Pinkowski Mccandless I would like to see how she got so sick and passed. We had such wonderful conversations, beautiful woman inside and out, I miss her for sure!!
