I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy on your tragic loss. My son,Jon Beleshko and April were close friends and shared many of the same challenges in life. Jon often spoke of April and his concern for Aprils welfare.
Sadly,we lost Jon a year ago last March. May they rest in peace together. They’re in Gods hands.
