Leave a tribute for April Dawn Ollis.
Deepest condolences to the family. My fondest memory of April was she was always smiling. She drove an 80's Camaro back in the early '90's with the vanity tag "richgirl", but we drove my '66 VW bug to charlotte to see MC Hammer and Boys to men and we ran out of gas on I40 at exit 132. Guess she was wishing we had took her car :) RIP April, save me a seat on the front row
April was the first person to make me feel welcomed when I started working at Valdese Weavers. We had our little inside jokes, without trying she always made me smile, even if I didn't want to. She was a great person to be around. I grew up with Matthew, and I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. She was a great friend and she will truly be missed, but I'll never forget her, a person like her can never be forgotten ♡
Emma, they're are no words for the sadness that I feel in this time of great loss for you as a mother!! Just know that my prayers are for your comfort and peace at this time. Tammy and I are thinking of you often!!!
A beautiful soul gone too soon, I hope the other side is everything you expected and more. Im glad we crossed paths even for a short amount of time. Nobody ever enjoys going to work but it was coworkers like you who made it worthwhile. You'll be missed.
Rest easy April
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of another cousin. Prayers for all her family.
