I was at Farrington with Robert. Having just moved back to Honolulu I did not know any other students. Somehow Robert and I connected. I remember that we came to know April in our senior year. Even then she was spiritual and gregarious in her kind, sweet way. Just recently in our last conversation she told me that it was I that suggested to Robert to approach her saying " you should talk to April, I think she is into you".
Thank you god for sharing her with us. She brought us joy, we loved her well. April will be missed
Your friend, Derrick
April was a vital member of The Writing Well in Southern Ca. Her poetry, writings, and art inspired and enriched our lives. Her lovely spirit will always be with us. Aloha, my dear friend. Patricia Dreyfus
