A GoFundMe account is also created by Kayla Lancor to help raise funds for April Carbone’s funeral. the account set at raising $15000 has raised just $975. Kayla wrote on the GoFundMe account that “For those of you who knew April and Richie knew that they were starting an AMAZING chapter in their lives. They had good jobs, pets they loved dearly, and a baby girl Layla Rose due December 30, 2021. On 11/17/2021 that was all taken away from them. 3 lives were brutally, viciously, and senselessly taken from this world. April was robbed of being a mom for the first time, she will never be able to hold her baby girl for the first time, or experience all the firsts that come along with having her first child. April ultimately was robbed of the life she deserved, and so desperately fought for, a life she was just beginning to experience. April and Richie moved to North Dakota in 2019 from Connecticut. Nobody plans for a tragedy such as this, financially it is not feasible for April’s family to afford the costs to transport her back to Connecticut from North Dakota, along with funeral/memorial costs. Their family could use all the help they can get to ensure proper services.”
Richard Pittman’s obituary will be organized by the family.
