April King

You are loved beyond my ability to express at this moment. I'm just glad that we were able to sing, dance, laugh, pray and just be sistas! Rest in his arms now... you're so much better. We may never know the "why "

JESUS is LORD and that was his call to call you and your mother my beloved sister HOME! Missing you both like crazy

April, you were a doer, a mover. One saw what they wanted to do and took action.You were an unstoppable force of nature. Im truly saddened by your passing. It felt like after so many years apart we were growing close. You inspired me and I got to love you the way a sister should. Im glad it wasn't too late. I wish we had more Conversations more time to talk it was only the beginning and now it's the end. I'm sorry. Rachel

April I remember when we first meet over two decades ago you were a very sweet, caring, GOD fearing, intelligent, beautiful young lady who was kind and willing to help those in need with a heart and soul on fire for the LORD. Through the years your Dad has become one of my closest friends and I shared with him that I was proud of you and your accomplishments. My regret is that I didn't tell you just how Proud I was of you. So I'm reaching out to you in Heaven to let you know that I have always been proud of you and your fire for the LORD. May you rest peacefully in the arms of GOD and enjoy your HOLY GHOST parties with the Angels. Until we meet again. Blessings, Eduardo ✝️🙏🏾🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🙏🏻✝️

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine was the epitome of April. You definitely lit any room you entered. From the first day I met you, your radiant smile melted my heart before I knew you were my sister, I had the biggest crush on you, growing up, you and I established an inseparable bond. What used to Make my heart melt makes my heart break, I will eternally miss you. You were my best friend, baby sister, and guidance counselor. I have so much more to say, but it will be a whole history book to read and store in the Smithsonian museum...I know you see the tears I cry for you daily, but I know you are a part of the greater cloud of witnesses routing me on, saying Come on bro, finish strong, don't give up, you're gonna make past the finish line. And when I do baby sis, I running straight to Jesus and giving him the biggest eternal hug and kiss then hug and kiss your glorified face and smile back at you and mom and the rest who gone on to glory..... You and mom can tell me your experiences with death. What you saw before passing over. With eternal Everlasting love, your brother prophet Mario MJ Kimball 3Jr. Rest well sis! Until we meet again at the finish line in the millennial reign..

My Dear Friend/Sister/Twin, my heart aches that you are no longer here with us, but knowing you are present with the Lord comforts me. I appreciate you for what you stood for and how transparent you were with me about your new walk with God that encouraged me to go harder. You were always there when I called on you. I never got a no. I love you to life, rest well my dear Friend/Sister/Twin.

First, I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to her family. I'm praying that you all will find peace and comfort during this most difficult time.

I had the absolute honor to photograph this beautiful soul. In front of my lens she was joyful, confident, funny, beautiful and radiant. She was such a caring person. She referred me to all those she knew and loved. I even started a friendship with one of those individuals. I cried when I heard the news, so hard, so deeply, because she, in the little time I knew her, had an impact on my life. She was encouraging and genuine. A most beautiful soul indeed. I will miss her. May you rest in eternal peace April. ❤🙏🏽🌹

Sincerely,

Enin Jzar

I remember April when she was a little young when I joined loj she always keep a smile no matter what and her energy was always there I really don't believe she ever meet a person she didn't like I'm going miss you April RIP love you

April: a wonderful wife, mother and friend. An intelligent, compassionate woman of God. I will miss her dearly, and wish we had more time to change the world. 💒 I trust God's will and I know He knows best, but it still hurts. My heart goes out to the family, her children and her husband who loved her dearly. May Our Father in heaven heal our grieving hearts and give us all peace to move on without her. She will be loved always. DrBliss

Oh, April, my friend and executive assistant, words cannot describe the impact you had on me and so many in the short life you lived before you were untimely pulled to greater things beyond this world. I cannot wait to see you again in the Kingdom that is to come that you currently enjoy through our Victorious Lord and Savior Jesus while I am left here behind to deal with the challenges of this world. But your example and cheerfulness lingers behind to encourage and spur us all on the way of our own pilgrim journeys. I miss you and will always remember you fondly until that day that we meet again.

Derek Archer

April....We have such fund memories of growing up and becoming young adults with you, but then time caught up to us all and we went our own separate ways. Although we all occupied our own space, it was such a joy watching you truly occupy yours. You will be missed my sister and we will share our memories of you knowing that we will see you again. Rest in Heaven our dear sister- E&K

Firstly, my deepest condolences to the Kimball and King families during their bereavement. The impact April had on the lives she encountered during her time on Earth is both evident and immense. I first met April at her family's church, Lion of Judah when I was about 9 years old. I vividly remember her baby sitting me as a child, attending her baby shower for her first born, visiting her home, rehearsing at church, and praise dancing with her. Though I am completely floored by her sudden passing, I am grateful to have known and experienced her warm smile, inviting energy and beautiful light for the brief time that I was allowed. May God continue to protect and bless her children, husband and loved ones. Sincerely, Joya

Even though I only knew you a short while, I loved the way you loved God. I loved the fire and the passion you had for people to walk in their Kingdom Authority. We may feel that you are gone too soon but you did what you were suppose to do while you were here! Well done Mighty, Powerful Woman of God! You will be missed!❤️ Lisa W.

Your smile lit up any room you entered, your spirit was so happy! See you in heaven! May God keep you on his arms and in his care til we see each other again

I will always remember you as that sweet little girl from Germany! That continues into adulthood, with the love of God even deeper.

It is so hard to know where to begin, so I suppose I will start at where we started. April, you were such a dear friend to me, but you were so much more. From our very first conversation, you felt like my sister ... even though we were strangers and we never had the chance to hug each other's neck or break bread together as we promised each other we would someday. We immediately bonded as sisters-in-Christ, over the Word of God, our profession, and how we were going to change it. I knew that I wanted you in my life from that very first moment. April, you impacted thousands of administrative professionals across the globe, and I am so thankful that I had a front-row seat and cheered you on every step of the way. I am committed to keeping your legacy and passion alive and running my race with joy. I am reminding myself of all of the scriptures that I know you would be pointing me to right now and remembering that you are living out our hope in Christ. I am so grateful that I had the chance to know you and to love you. You were the best and the brightest of us all. All my love, Melissa

April, my birthday twin, my peace, my comforter here on earth. You were a light, my sunshine when I needed it most. You will live forever in my heart and my memories. I love you! ~Andrea Ross

"Hey friend". This is how we addressed each other throughout the workday. April was a rock of support to me and anyone who needed it. She looked at EVERYTHING through rose-tinted glasses, and I vow to wear them in her absence. My spirit is broken, but I'm doing what I know she would want me to do...to keep the trains running. To her family, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

I know that the Word says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." I know that the Word says "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." I know that the Word says "whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord." I know that we can find comfort in the Scriptures to help with the loss of a loved one, and yet this earthly heart of mine aches with the loss of my friend April. Confident, courageous, motivated, God-fearing, full of energy, wise ... you were all that and more. I will miss our weekly meetings; I will miss the frantic phone calls trying to prepare our executives for their next appointment; I will miss the deep belly laughs, often about nothing at all; I will miss how much you advocated for those in our profession; I will miss how you stretched us all to be and to do better. I will miss you my friend, and I pray that your family will find comfort and peace in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. ~Jarvis Ridges

Sis I am speechless. I figured I had more time, however God needed you to watch over us. You had the biggest, most genuine smile. Your heart was just as big. You are and will continue to be missed by many people because we thought we had plenty of time. I love you little sis.

April Nadine King

Where do I start? There were so many wonderful times I've had with April. Times where she made me laugh so hard my head hurt. She was such a good friend, a true friend to me. I am so appreciative to have had her in my life. No words can express my love for her over the years. We were roommates, dance team partners, and eating buddies. She was so full of wisdom, I'd always bounce ideas off of her knowing she would always tell me the real truth. A person I could trust, I didn't worry about the side-eye or back-biting with her. I honored her as my friend and I can say with all sincerity she honored me as well. We didn't talk every day on the phone, but we'd always pick up where we left off when we eventually talked again and I loved that about her. I was very protective of her and there was nothing I wouldn't do for her and vice versa. I remember when she returned to Georgia from Houston, TX and she took me to CHOPS Restaurant for my birthday. I believed I cried that night because she showed such generosity. I think that dinner was over $200 and she said I was worth it. We laughed, talked, and enjoyed the ambiance of the evening discussing our futures and what we wanted to do next. You were such a force to be reckoned with. So loving, talented, and creative. I always admired how she did things on the fly and I felt safe that anything she was in charge of it would be handled. She had such grace and authority. Oh, girl, I'm going to miss you so much (crying).

Thank you for your love over the years and for choosing me as your Big Sister. Until we meet again, I love you, Sis!

Felecia W.

You are so loved and will be greatly missed I know I'll see you again in heaven rest at peace with the Lord we shall see each other again love you with all my heart God's blessings your auntie Lorraine

I can not find the words to describe how I feel. And in my heart I know that there are countless others who feel the same. April's spirit has touched so many. To say that she will be missed is an understatement. I can only speak for myself the pain of losing her will never go away. It will always be there in my heart. April I love you as much as any father could love his daughter. I find comfort knowing that I will see her again in Heaven.

We express our sincere condolences to the Kimball and King families. As a youth attending New Horizons Church of God in Christ under the leadership of Dr. Oliver Haney Jr., singing in the choir, participating wholeheartedly in the youth ministry, praise and worship ministry, and liturgical dance ministry, April demonstrated her sincere love for God at a very young age. We were blessed to watch her grow and enjoy her prophetic gift as she moved forward and embraced the call of God on her life. Her beautiful personality and various spiritual gifts and talent were such a blessing to all that knew her. She will be missed dearly. The angels will be singing, joy bells will be ringing; they will all welcome her when she gets home (Rev 7:9 – 17).

We agree with the words of the one who said "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories." We love and miss you April!

Peggie Pearl and the New Horizon Church Family.

Sending my condolences to the King Family, prayers for strength and comfort during this time. April was a light at Spelman and will truly be missed! Dawn Garvin and Family.

April, You will truly be missed on this earth for what it's worth, Heaven has gained a new angel to smile down on us. May God continue to let your light shine on the lives you have touched. For you are in a far better place than we are, And even though you left your physical body, You are not dust. But a bright shining star, And we Love You Very Much!!

Thank you for being a blessing in my life. Tiffany H

To Jeremy Angelo and Teré, my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers to you all. I feel your pain at this time and I am so very sorry for this great loss. April was one of the greatest young ladies I ever met! She was full of joy, full of life, and most of all full of happiness. She loved her family very much! I watched April grow into being a great wife a great mother and a great friend to many. April helped mentor my children and I'm so grateful to her for that. April kept up with them, encouraged them, and helped them grow into the young men and women they are today. I hope that I could help you all that same way love G Mama and Papa Southward ❤️

April you will always be in our heart and prayers. You were also the bright light in the room, sharing such wonderful ideas and directions. I pray your family has the strength to get through this time of grief. Your smile, your energy, your beautiful spirit, your willingness to help, pray, share; will forever be missed and never forgotten. Your Spelman family ...Tracey

April and I connected through LinkedIn. As a tribute to how full she kept her plate, we had to reschedule at least 3 times and then she finally said, Does 7pm on a Tuesday work? We connected and stayed on our 30 min call for over 2 hrs. She was so uplifting, funny, knowledgeable, and real. Her passion spilled through the phone and I didn't want to get off. I am so devastated that was our only real interaction. God bless all that knew her and sincere condolences to her family.

April you will always be in our heart and prayers. You were also the bright light in the room, sharing such wonderful ideas and directions. I pray your family has the strength to get through this time of grief. Your smile, your energy, your beautiful spirit, your willingness to help, pray, share; will forever be missed.

April made such an impact on me and others in the administrative profession. Thank you King family for sharing her with us. April makes me want to do better in every area of my life. God bless you all.

April, I thank you and your family for being a wonderful support. You were not only a pastor but also a mentor. Thank you so much for all you have pour into me, you will truly be missed.

April was an amazing woman who touched so many people. I remember when my family moved to Georgia and joined LOJ when I was around 4. April soon became my dance teacher but little did I know she would make a lasting impression on my life. April was my big sis, my mentor, my friend, someone who told me what I needed to hear even when I didn't want to hear it, a motivator who taught me to chase after the best in life...I could make this list go on forever. Now that she has transitioned to glory I can only hope I influence, encourage, and nurture someone the way she did me. I wish I could rewind time and tell her I love her and she means so much to me. I wish I could rewind time and spend just another moment with her. Oh I wish I could see that beautiful smile and here that hearty laugh just one more time. April you will forever live on in my heart. I'm so grateful I was able to make so many precious memories with you. I will cherish those memories forever. I'm praying for your family and I know God is going to bring them through this stronger than they were before. Enjoy heaven and save us all some good seats. I love you forever April ❤️

April left this Earth too soon! I miss her. She was incredibly sweet and wonderful to work with. I will remember April most for her kind spirit and for her care, commitment, and support at Spelman. Rest in Peace. May God continue to bless your family and loved ones! Michelle

Cousin I don't even know where to begin. We didn't talk everyday or even every month but when we did it was like no time had passed. You were truly an inspiration to many, including myself. You were the most humble spirit and carried yourself with such Grace. You were placed on earth with us to fulfill the work of the Lord and you did just that. Wear your crown girl and rest. Well done cousin.....well done. Always in my heart Love you, April

Woman of God, When I met you, April, I saw that you were full of life, love, and joy. You leaving us so soon made me so mad. Yet, I know that I can never be sad and mad forever because I know that you are with our heavily Farther. The way you move speaks louder than any words. Your beautiful smile, dance, and how you worship in the presence of God are what I will miss the most about you. It was a pleasure to know you. Sure, you are going to be missed, and make sure that you have fun with Papa. Jacqueline.

April's light is too bright to end here... I will fondly remember her as a Spelman College team member who added organization, thoughtfulness, care, kindness, leadership, and spirit to our institution. April was gifted and highly skilled and she coordinated meetings and presentations and letters and schedules and graphics and distribution of information and planning and special events and confidential matters and meals like nobody's business. April reminded us what excellence looks like. She showed out!!! Her service to Spelman will always be remarkable. Her ideas and initiatives are still brilliant. The smile in her voice is still reassuring. Many thanks to April for all of the many ways that she gave of herself. My prayers and deepest sympathy is extended to her family, her church, and our Spelman family. I will miss April. - Angela Farris Watkins (Spelman Faculty)

God's song bird! The first time I meet April, I was invited to LOJ Ministries. The service had started there was a sweet aroma in the atmosphere. The sound of a keyboard was playing, welcoming in the presence of God. I was looking down then I heard the sweetest sound of love. It was April! She was standing in front of the people with the most beautiful smile. She was looking at the ceiling as if the heavens were opened. With the mic in one hand and the other raised glorifying the King, instantly the spirit of worship entered the room. April was anointed with passion. A gift only God could give. She honored the Lord with every word. She knew the words she was singing would bring intimacy in the hearts of the people to worship our Lord and she did it was such pleasure. Soon after she introduced herself to me and a sisterhood was form. Immediately I went from stranger, to friend, to sister, without any other consideration. She opened her life to me as Christ did with her! She was a perfect example of grace. When I shared my testimony there wasn't any judgment only compassion and a sincere hug. I will always remember April, our laughs, has been captured in eternity. To Jeremy her reflection of Love always resembled Jesus and you! She loved you very much... Be strong family and friend! Love always A'kyva

Baby girl, lately the sun doesn't seem to be as bright, the grass doesn't seem to be as green, the morning breeze doesn't seem as cool nor do the sound of the singing birds sound as cheerful, now that you have gone to be with the Father. You no longer belong to time but are a gift to eternity. While you were here, you brought so much joy to so many. We did our best as we prayed and warred on your behalf that the Father would allow you to stay with us. For as surely as the Lord our God lives, you cannot return to where we are, but we can only come to where you are in Christ. So until we meet again those special memories I have of you will always bring me a smile. From the days of your playing with your dolls in pigtails to watching you ministering before the Lord, leading us in worship. If only I could have you back just for a little while. Then we could sit and laugh, sing and sort of watch an action move while I slept. The fact that you are no longer here in the physical realm brings me pain, but I'd rather you be there with Christ, than being here in pain. You will forever be in my heart until we meet again in the rapture. So rest dear heart for your reward does follow you. For it's Christ's cross that's the only safe crossing into eternity. Eternal Love Dad (MLK)

I remember speaking with April one day when I went to the Provost office, and commended her on all of her accomplishments. She was always so polite and cheerful, a beautiful person. I will miss her. I wish her family peace and strength and comfort. With my love, Bonnie.

I remember interviewing April for her position at Spelman, and being so impressed with her focus, intelligence and professionalism -- she had a well developmed plan for her career, which was impressive. Although she described herself as an introvert, she was also a true force of nature. She was thoughtful, kind, generous with her time, and so polished. On top of all of that she was just so much fun! She was always reaching out to bring joy to others. I am heatbroken for her children, who were her world, and her husband, parents, and all of her family -- I hope that the words that you hear and read about your beloved April/Mommy, help to heal some of the pain that you're feeling right now. We too are deeply sad and shocked by her sudden passing, but we know that her strong faith in God would lead her to say to us -- do not despair because I am with the Lord. She was a rare gem and will hold a special place in so many hearts. Love, DBB

Faith itself falters when someone like April King returns so soon to Source. Silence, where just now was her voice. Heartache, where mere seconds ago was joy. I once told April that she had faith enough for all of us. But now, I think, we may need our portions back. Enough, at least, to know when she visits us, to hear her words of comfort, and to feel her prayerful embrace. I extend to the family, and to all who were blessed in life to know her, my deepest and most heartfelt condolences. Sharon Davies, Provost, Spelman College

She is such an angel who had a kind heart. Her words are so courageous and kind. May her soul rest in peace . Dulma

Trying to write this Statement to express how much Pastor April has been so hard for me. She was my sis and a good friend. She showed me so much kindness. She believed me, encouraged me in the things of God and as mothers we encourage you each other. She value what others had to offer. she spoke life into me through word of God .She invest time and money to help me with my dreams/new business. She saw the gifts of God in me and she begin to train me without me evening realizing it. She allow me to go at my own pace . She was kind, gentle and supportive. April was an answered pray. I will miss April while cherishing the love she gave and everything I learned for her. Thank you father for the time I got to share with her.--

Such a Beautiful person inside and out! Dear Sweet, April, you will truly be missed. RIH Woman of God, Love Renee

I can only imagine how difficult a time this is for April's family. This is indeed a great and tragic loss. It's hard for her colleagues at Spelman as well. April was such a warm spirit and had an infectious smile. I will miss that about her most (and her fashion sense). She and I were fortunate to work together on many occasions and I grew to respect her knowledge and professionalism. I will miss her being "right down the hall" from my office but I know that she is at peace. I pray God blesses the family through this trying time and in the weeks and months to come. Farewell April. Much love & respect, Karen.

I interacted with April several times at work and although those moments were brief, I STILL got a tremendous sense of her kindness and spirit reflected from so many others who knew her well. She was always so kind, smart, and professional. I really did love working with her, and will dearly miss her beautiful, smiling face.

Condolences and comfort to the family and all who knew and loved Nadine. Although we never had the opportunity to meet in person, we met many times virtually. Nadine, your light and love for all you encountered was something to behold. You wanted to and succeeded in making a difference in this world in many ways. I will miss that light. May you rest in eternal peace. -- Karen M. Swoopes

April Lynn/Sis was my name for you! I can always count on you to make me laugh, lite up the room and just enjoy life, despite of any situation. No matter what life threw at you, you would still keep pushing and spreading joy. I am going to miss everthing about you, your amazing smile, the light that radiates through you when walk in the room, the laugh that was so infectious, the love that you never failed to spread, the dance moves that kept the party going, the praise dances that brought the presence of God, but most of all your wisdom and drive to push harder and pull up all those around you to see themselves as God sees them. I love you my Sister, my Sis for eternity!!! I will always be here for your children and family!!! Love you for eternity Your Sis, Kristal aka "K"

April your smile could light up a room and your laugh could change a cloudy day into a ray of sunshine. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share in laughter and fellowship with you! You will always be remembered and I pray that your family continue to remain strong and know to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD! Amen!

Phenomenal Woman BY MAYA ANGELOU Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman, That's me.

Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Yes it is love u and miss u

Dear April, Your light and love for life and all that it involves was amazing, you are and always will be the one person that anyone can turn to in times of need. What you have done for the profession of administrative professionals in your time on earth has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for always being there for those in need, for always helping where you could and for spreading the word that God is Good! We will always remember you and carry out what you started. Till we meet again, Rest peacefully and in His glory!

dear mommy, you are my world, and you'll always be my favorite person.. thank you for teaching how to a confident black female. thank you for the amazing life lessons. but most importantly.. thank you for loving me unconditionally. right now, i don't have all the words. but i love you forever. i will never ever EVER forget you. i will make you so so proud. lastly, like grandma z told me, this isn't a goodbye. this is a see you later. i love you mommy. rest easy beautiful.

April Nadine King "Sis" was so many wonderful things to so many people. She was a ray of sunshine, a breath of fresh air, dancing warrior & the life of the party. There are so many memories that we shared & it was a beautiful sight to watch the hand of the Most High evolve my sis into the Queen that she was. She had a drive like no other & an amazing ability to draw people & bring them together. She took joy in being the wife of Jeremy King & the mother of Angelo, Tere, & Ezra. I will always keep her in my heart being blessed by her presence, inspired by her drive, Sharpened by her wisdom, ignited by her love & honored to be her sister❤️❤️❤️ Love Always Tiff/Sis

April approached everything in her life as if it was an assignment that was given to her by God and was determined to complete the task, decent and in order. April had a style all her own, not trying to copy anyone, or competing with anyone, she enjoyed being herself. God gives us all talents, and I'm sure that April used everyone that He gave to her. She had a beautiful spirit that generally let people knew where she was going. Most of the time she had already figured out how to get there and I believe that taking people along on her journey was something she enjoyed. Being successful was something she saw for herself and everyone as long as you were willing to work for it. She could give you a real boost just by talking to you and offering encouragement. Her assignment as a Mom was very important to her, and she cared a lot about her children's welfare. She taught them about God and gave them a good example to follow. She loved being married to Jeromy, you can see the love in all the pictures of them together. Rest in Heaven

April, I had the honor and privilege of watching you grow up throughout the years. From the energetic, spunky lil 8 year old girl in Germany to the fierce, bold, upright woman of God that you became. My life has been greatly impacted by your transition, but I choose to embrace the impact you made by your living! April, you lived your love for the Father out loud! You were bold! You were courageous! Your physical presence in this realm will be missed, but know that your legacy will live on. Rachael Folds

Cousin, You were such a beautiful soul. We hadn't seen each other since we were children but thank God for social media. Social media allowed me to share in who you had became. I was able to feel your purity, and authenticity through a post. I was so inspired by you. Your smile was so radiant, your meekness was so natural and your love for God / Jesus was so real. You were genuinely a virtuous woman and you will be missed. My heart bleeds for the family and most of all your babies. Rest well love.... Your transition has truly made me see life different. 💔😔 R.I.H 💐

Live upright, hug your children every night, call someone that may be going through tell them daily I love you, take a walk and talk to God, love and laugh and live life hard, never miss a moment to say a kind word, if it's not uplifting don't repeat what you heard. Speak life to your spouse, welcome family into your house. My twin cousin April was an example of what love is and everday she will be missed. Until we meet again TWIN.

My Beautiful full of fire, full of life Niece gave me hope in family and love. She loved the ocean and going to the beach and we were called beach bums because we used to go so much. Evertime I go to the beach from now forward I will see her in every wave, I will see her as the sun rises and sets and I will remember her hearty laugh and how she lit up a room just upon entering it. WHEN GOD MADE U HE BROKE THE MOLD HE PUT NU A ❤ OF GOLD AND EVERYTHING I SEEN U DO CAME FROM THE ❤ GOD GAVE TO U. A POEM FOR APRIL

April I met you as a little girl in Germany back in the early 90s. Then we came to South Carolina and visited Lion of Judah church a few times. You grew into an awesome WOG- Woman of God. Your teaching and inspirational words are effervescent. I'm sad, but I choose to follow the scripture which it says sorrow not like those who have no hope. You are much live in another realm, enjoying it with Jesus. I will see you again.

April, I knew you as a little girl in Germany in the early 90s, when we returned to the US and came to SC we visited Lion of Judah church a few times. You grew into an awesome (WOG) Woman of God, your teaching and inspirational words are alway effervescent. I'm sad but chose to follow the scripture that says sorrow not like those who have no hope. You are much alive in another real, enjoying life with Jesus. Will see you again one day. Love you much. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

I met Nadine as one of her BAM group mentees. As a mentor, she sowed seeds of greatness, with so much grace and positive energy, I felt empowered to go after my goals fiercely. She called me out, with sincerity and care, on the ways I was playing small and not giving myself grace. So when she later asked me to be a NABAP board member, no wasn't even a thought, just "let's do this!" Because again, she sowed seeds of greatness. Naturally...intentionally and with so much authentic love. I am thankful that our paths crossed in such a life-changing and impactful way. She indeed did God's work. May He comfort the family, friends, and all those who knew and loved such a beautiful soul.

Throughout my life I met people who wasn't genuine or real. When I met you I found out just how precious you were and are. My Queen! You stood head and shoulders above the rest. I cannot imagine going on in life without you but I know you would want me to carry on. The children will be fine and I am led by the Holy Spirit. Know I love you now and forever my love. You walked with me knowing I was not perfect, still loving me though my downfalls. You helped God build me with love and I will never for that. Your Husband, Friend, and King

Our Angel!!! You will always be greatly missed as well as in our hearts,and your family in our prayers

I never met April in person, but I know that she was a beautiful spirit who Loved the Lord and she was True to her Ministry. I reached out to her to ask her a question and although she didn't know me she took the time to respond And even sent me a voicemail just to make sure I understood what she was explaining. The fact that she took the time out of her schedule for a stranger showed that she was not one to just talk about Kingdom building she was willing to Add to the Kingdom by being available to others who maybe be temporarily struggling in the Faith. My deepest condolences to the Family! God makes No mistakes we just a accept his will even if we don't understand. May God Bless her husband and children and those who were blessed to Know her.

The laughs, the talks, the movies and the memories are so many. My favorite one will always be us watching The Klumps lol. Me and you were kindred spirits when it came to movies. You were my sister and friend. I love you so much April and im going to miss that big smile and that infectious laugh. My deepest condolences go to Jeromy, Angelo, Terè and the rest of the family. Until I see you again big sis keep watch over me. Love, TreBien Williams

I'm so grateful that i got a chance to spend time with April before she went to be with the Lord. We worship together. Thank God.

A beautiful sweet spirit. I will always remember April as a praise and warfare dancer.

Dance before HIS throne!!

Prayers for the family and loved ones.

April was a kind, wonderful person. April loved God and her family and lived each day to be a shining example for others to see.

Although our work days could seem overwhelming, she always managed to do everything with excellence, and with a smile. Her professionalism, wit and charm was infectious.

April was so special. She was not only my co-worker, but my friend. I will miss our sisterly jokes and daily talks.

Rest well, friend. I miss you. Love, Joya

Beautiful April!! Your smile was so radiant and it would light up any room and your love and passion for God was magnetic!! Your name matched your vibrant personality!! You loved your husband and family so passionately and anyone who knew you could see it and feel it!! We loved to watch you praise dance because you made others feel what you felt!! You were April the daughter of the KING here and Your the DAUGHTER OF THE KING IN HEAVEN!! Rest well beautiful daughter and know that your loved beyond measure and we celebrate your LIFE!!

The Kingdom principals is what you stood on, your praise and worshiping is a blueprint. Everything that you shared with me I will forever be grateful and hold my end up to finish what we started. You will be missed much, however enjoy your new life in the Kingdom.

Over the years I watched April grow from a teenager to a mature woman of God seeking to serve him with her all. Her love for her husband, children, family, and those closest to her was encouraging. She gave her all to those she loved and loved to please God. I am glad to have known her and watch her growth. I send condolences to Jeromy, the children, her parents, and family on behalf of The Clark's (Tanya)

She was the perfect fit to a world in chaos. She calms it because of her positive energy, happiness, and her willingness to help others. The couple of times I met her,I knew she was different. It's wasn't a bit of hate or negativity in her. April had Intelligence on another level as well as drive to get better everyday. They say the good die young but she was great and still living through all of us. We have to cherish that. She will forever live through us and continue to teach us. Thank you God and Thank you April

April was a very kind, gentle,loyal and generous woman. She was the absolute salt of the earth. She made an impact on all those around her, just one look and she made you want to be a better person. She also was a very hard worker, loving mother, dedicated wife and friend. She had a smile that would light up an entire room, that smile will you could also see in her two children Angelo and Teré. She will be deeply missed, and will live on in all of our hearts.

At times you don't have to know someone for a lifetime to know what they are about, While April and I only met a handful of times she caused a major impact in my life. When I met her she had just decided to finish her Bachelors degree, along with being a minister, a Mom, a mentor, and just a light for the world. She can do it all, and she made me feel like I could too. I will never forget her angelic yet piecing voice singing in Church, or the contagious laugh she first met me with. She called me sis immediately and made me feel like we knew each other for a life time. She welcomed me in her home for a dinner that will always be how I remember her. In all her greatness being a Mother, a wife, a sister, a boss. I thank God we cross paths on this realm, she is truly an unforgettable human being. Thank you for existing! Love, Ada

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
