A bright and gentle spirit, April had an infectious smile that could light up any room. She was a devoted daughter, a caring friend, and a gifted artist whose dream was to illustrate picture books for children. Her teachers and classmates fondly recall her as a quiet but radiant presence, always ready with a kind word and an imaginative idea.

​

Though her time with us was far too short, April’s life was a testament to the power of creativity and compassion. She poured her heart into her art, leaving behind pieces that reflect her vibrant spirit and the beauty she saw in the world. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

April is survived by her parents, her siblings, and countless friends who will forever treasure the joy and light she brought into their lives. Her family invites all who knew her to honor her by embracing life with the same passion and kindness that defined April’s too-brief but beautiful journey.

In April’s memory, her family encourages acts of kindness and creativity, sharing the spark of joy she so effortlessly gave to others.
