Dot -I always enjoyed working
and talking with April. She always talked about Zach. It was fun when she came to the Kendallville Plant for a couple weeks.
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

To Dot and family,
April was one of the first people I met when I came to work at Courier 10 years ago. In all my years, I have never and probably will never, meet anyone as kind, generous, hard working, and positive as April. She was a rare person who made me feel welcome in my new job immediately. I will miss her dearly and think of her often. God Bless you in this difficult time.
