April enjoyed being with family and friends. She was a devoted mom, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, auntie and friend. She loved to cook for her family, especially her boys. The holiday season was her favorite time of year, in particular Christmas season. She made sure to be present at family gatherings, it brought her joy to see everyone together.
April took time to plan special outings with her boys, one being the Dallas Cowboys Training Camp. She is about DEM BOYS. Spontaneous adventures were her way of making memories.
April has always had a way of making others feel accepted and cared for. She embraced people for who they were. She gave the best hugs. She loved hard and was fiercely protective. She was a big music lover. She played music while doing almost everything. She loved to dance, laugh and get everyone to the dance floor. She captured every moment, living in the moment, always laughing. Her laugh was infectious.
April was described by one of her former classmates as stunning and ferocious with a heart of gold.
April, we love you and we cherish the 45 years we were blessed to have with you here. We will miss everything about you, your unconditional love and hugs. We have comfort in knowing we will see you again.
