Dear Ms. Olivia,
God sent you into my life so that we could grow together as young and old friends. We shared many conversations and outings together that will always be remembered. Your hats and your smile will bring joy in your absence.

Aunt Lil,
That's what I called you when I was a little girl. I loved your style, your spirit and the way you loved me. I will always remember our special times together when I stayed with you on weekends as a child to my celebrating wedding anniversary as an adult what a great time that was. Aunt Olivia you will always hold a special spot in my heart. I love you very much and I will miss you. I know you are in a better place and greeting everyone with that winning smile of yours I will miss that smile. Say hello to Madea and my Daddy. May God bless you and I'll you see later.
Love always,
Kim

My Dearest Sister Olivia,

You are forever etched in the tablet of my heart, although you are gone we shall never part; Heaven is now the place you call home, I know you are with mama again so you will never be alone; You know I still worry about you because that is what SISTERS do; Even though you are not with me I am comforted by knowing that mama and dady are taking care of you.

What a beautiful angel God has. Ms. Olivia was a beautiful person inside and outside; to me she was a friend and I called her "Diva". To her family, my prayers and thoughts are with you as you remember this beautiful and blessed lady. May God's love hold you during this time and give you peace. She is now out of her pain. To God Be the Glory!
