A beautiful photo, and Thanks So Much for all the Support and Love you gave April through her medical difficulties. It’s been hard to be so far away. As a Masters Level RN, that loved serving the folks at the city clinics she was very invested in problem solving specific issues her patients had…we remember her sadness when illness changed her life and she could no longer serve patients. April loved her dogs, most recently Splashy and loved to cook, especially for others. Her pork steaks we like non other, and recipes she created were fun and imaginative. She used foods and spices from all cultures. April was a great taker for friends. She worked hard to care for Jude after a head on car accident in Washington State. We will miss her always, and we know she’s a hec of an ANGEL FOR ALL!! TK
How can I leave a comment about my best friend of 55 years? I remember the first time we met. It was the first day of high school. She was sitting on the ground with some of her friends. She was wearing her favorite red poncho that her mom made for her. She looked up at me with her U shaped smile and I knew we would be friends. She was the maid of honor at my wedding and strong support through my divorce. She was there for me and she was my nurse after a car wreck left me unable to walk and in bed for a year. She was tough and strong. She would walk in and pick me up and lay me down in the bathtub to get cleaned up. When she moved back to St. Louis we had weekly phone calls. When we got together, we had nothing but fun. There were so many fun times, listening to music and singing along. Neither of us could carry a tune. One of the best times was a long weekend at a friend’s cabin on the Gasconade River. We sat in lawn chairs in the river and drank beer, told stories, and sang real loud. There were so many more fun times. We kept up our weekly phone calls until I retired. Our phone calls were then 2-3 times a week and multiple texts everyday. I loved her dearly and I will miss her everyday but I take comfort in knowing she is out of pain and grateful for our time together.
Dear April, you were one heck of a nurse and friend! I will miss you.
She was the greatest grandmother anyone could have asked for ill miss you so much.
