Hi Louise and Family, We think and talk about Oliver often. We miss him. He was a brother to Owen. It will always be difficult for us that he is gone from our lives as a friend. We cherish the memories of knowing him. We give thanks at this time of the year for that honor. Hugs, Liz, Mark, Owen, Henry and Meredith

Louise, I am devastated to hear of Oli's death. Even after he left DU, I would run into him from time to time, and I've never stopped thinking about him. I don't know why, but we had a special bond -- I always loved to see him coming, and I worried about him all the time! I remember our conversations about Oli well -- you were a wonderful mother to him. My deep sympathies to you and the rest of Oli's family. May he rest in peace.

Our family is heartbroken that Oliver is gone. It has been hard for us to comprehend how such a gentle man could be a victim. Please know that we think of him daily and remember the funny, independent, charming and well-mannered young man he was and will always be to us. Oliver, we will miss your stopping by to visit and catch up! Our sincere sympathy to all family members.
