David and Cheryl,
I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, but i'm sure words cannot describe what this is like for you. I just said good-bye to my dear mother on Tuesday and I do know the pain of losing someone so dear to you. May you feel God's presence and strength strengthening you. Sincerely, Pastor Joanie

I remember last summer when I was havin a hard time with a guy friend of mine and you told me to forget him and closed the door in his face. You then had me sit down on the bed and explained to me that chocolate will take the pain away and that you had the best. Now you can have all the Dove Milk chocolate candies you want. Love Ya

April,
We have chatted in TAC for a very long time. Since this happened, I am very pleased and happy that I finally got to meet you Dec. 2, 2006. You had me cracking up that night, I didn't think I could laugh so much. You are a great friend, even when I was in a bad mood and arguing in the chatroom, you would come in and make my day. Thank You for being a great friend. And I will meet you again someday.You are the sun, that made the TAC shine!!
Love You,
Pammy

Dear April,
You celebrated many events with friends often. I will never forget the first time I met you at the Bowling Alley and u announced who I was under my sn. U were definetly a friend to all. You kept the peace and never judged. Thanks for that meeting and thanks for the peace. I know ur up stairs and watching us in our intimate moments and laughing. You were always the comedian. THANK YOU! AOL is not just a chat room but a place for friends to always be.

I only knew April in passing. Meeting only a few times but I always figured she would be in the chatroom and I could say Hi. There are no more hello's and I am sadden by this. I really never got to know April and this is my loss.

Tears are shed for the children who lost a good mother.
Tears are shed for the family who lost a dear loved one.
Tears are shed for the people who lost a great friend.
My tears are shed for never getting to know April.
Maybe one day I'll get that extra chance.
May the Angels carry you onto Gods arms.

I had the pleasure of meeting April this past Spring. She was giving me "CRAP" because I was the DJ...and had never heard of the song she wanted played. Thank you for giving me "CRAP" April. Every single time I hear "Smack Dat" by Akon I will think of April. After that April and I crossed paths several times and always she had a smile on her face. Never turning the other way always stopping to say hello....May you rest in peace....May GOD comfort your family and friends in this time.

April *Willma* , You were a wonderful daughter, sister,friend and a dedicated mother. You knew how to bring a smile to everyone no matter the situation.we know you will be watching over us all. When you see us smile it is because we are thinking about the good times we shared with you. And the joy your friendship meant to us all. No matter if we knew you a day or a lifetime the friendship you gave share and the smile you brought to each and every one of us will never be forgotten.

April hun we didnt hang out much but You'll be missed greatly. your presences brought a smile to everyone and warmth feeling in thier heart. You was truely a Great Person and even a better MOM

It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
