She left us too soon, but we will never forget. Thank you for sharing her with us. We will never forget. Love, Mom On the anniversary of April's passing Dearest Mac,

A year seems a lifetime ago, but April lives on in all of us, in the beautiful garden she dreamed of, in memories of the meticulous plans she helped make for our family gatherings, her insightful commentary on our lives and world, her love and understanding of all things alive, in the friends she cherished, her courage. She left us too soon, but we will never forget. Thank you for sharing her with us. We will never forget.

Love, Mom
On the anniversary of April’s passing

I'm sure it does seem like everything has changed since then. I just got the strangest feeling after reading how you felt she was there, and then her name being right there in giant letters.

We were planning a 40th birthday party for me in May, and April's 35th in June. Seems like a lifetime ago.
