April is our second child. Like her siblings, she attended several schools through the years. In 1993, she graduated from Lakeview Christian School in Marion, Indiana. She attended Grand Rapids Community College, Indiana University at Kokomo, and St. Louis Community College at Forest Park in preparation for her career as a dental hygienist.

It was at church in St. Louis that April met her future husband, Mike. In 1998, Dale had the privilege of uniting them in marriage in a beautiful flower garden ceremony in St. Louis. Mike, who holds an M.B.A. degree, is part owner with his father in a manufacturing business. They reside in the St. Louis area.

April and Mike have two daughters, Audrey Dale and Avery Rose. You'll find several pictures of the four of them on these pages.
