Olevia was one of the most beautiful, full of charisma, free spirited individuals I've known. Her voice was beautiful,as was her heart. You will be truly missed.

Olevia and I grew up together from Middle school at Horace Mann up to North High. So many beautiful memories we shared together as teenagers on Jackson street. Thankfully we found each other on Facebook a few years ago.
I wish we had got together to catch up as we said we would.
She will be missed.
My thoughts and
Prayers to her family.

So many amazing memories of you, that was just who you were all the time with everyone...but what I keep hearing on the wind is your laughter and you singing...and the memories first comes to mind is you helping me when I was drowning in sadness from not seeing my kids and then later me doing the same for you. But mostly the rest are good or great and happy because that's who you were in most situations. If we all could be so truly blessed with that ability! It made you strong, like nothing else could ever match. Oh my beautiful friend, you are truly a devastating loss to humankind because you spread so much light in the darkness. You are so loved and will be missed more than words could ever convey!!! To your daughter's, your mom and sister my deepest most comforting energy and all the love I had for Olivia goes out to all of you. If there is anything, any of you need - FOR REAL - please don't hesitate to ask! I will do anything in my power for all of you... Really and truly. My number is 8062318889
With my deepest sympathy and love, honor and respect - Sheri (Fatal) D-H
