Our hearts go out to Sue , Scott and & family as you face this tragedy in your life. Being your Mom's best friend for many years, I remember how excited your Mom was when she was carrying you. We watched you grow up thru the years into a beautiful young lady. It is so sad that your life was taken so quickly and at a young age. Thankful we were able to get to know you, be assured we will stand by your family to help them get thru this very sad part of their lives. We love you all!!!!

I knew her as "Livie" when she was just 4 years old.
She was so sweet and shy and cute as a button.
I can't believe that God called for her so soon.
Susan, find peace in knowing she has family in heaven who are taking her in their arms and loving her.
I'm so sorry you have to live through this tragedy.

My family was heartbroken when we heard the news! No words can express how unbelievably sorry I am that Olivia's family has to go through such a tragic loss. I have many fond memories from babysitting Olivia when she was a young girl. She was only 4 years old when her mom 1st brought her to my house. I am thankful for the years that Susan trusted me to take care of her while she worked. When Olivia was young she was a beautiful, smiley, fiery little redhead that liked playing soccer in the backyard with the boys! Olivia Mae will always have a very special place in my heart! Her family is in my thoughts and prayers!
