April was precious gem and a beautiful treasure to many people. She touched so many people’s lives in her short years. April was wise beyond her years and through many tragedies in her own life, she chose to take those hard times and make her life positive and try to show others that regardless of what you might be dealing with, be optimistic; positive and to live life full of happiness. Many people saw how April lived, full of life and bubbly, they began to become more optimistic instead of negative about life. April volunteered wherever she could no matter where or when. She wanted others to learn that even with hardship, life can be joyous. April is preceded in death by her loving great grandmother, Elsie Ida Funk- Shine.
