I heard about this so late and I was shocked when I heard it. I remember goofing around in auto class and seeing you at O’Reillys when you worked there. It’s crazy the things that happen in life, it really makes you step back and look at everything in a bigger picture.  

Muinthel, 
I remember at least one word, (that is a lie I googled it but you did once teach me it so I am counting this). Growing up with you was a once in a lifetime experience. You are the only one in the world that fully understood growing up together. I never got to call you back for pulling the joke with Friday but it was hilarious and you should have seen my face when Mom showed me. I am going to miss you for a very long time. We might have fought but I always loved you. The only memory that I can think in reflection of our short time together was the day you almost burnt the house down (over exaggerated of course). I was rushing around working on two school projects with mom last minute and you had just seen me age paper with a candle. I guess you decided you wanted to try and held the paper a bit too close and in the chaos no one noticed. Well not until you dropped the paper on fire onto the kitchen counter. While it was easily put out I dont think any other moment captured growing up together better and its the one memory that always comes to mind when I think of you. I hope your doing well and I hope to see you one day. Take care and say hi to Nibbles and Tinkey for me (Yes I know/think I spelled his name wrong).

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Olivia. It is so heart breaking to loose such a young life. The family is in our thoughts and prayers. We thought she was a sweet girl to have around. 

My Dear Nut,
You and your sister have always been my world - you came into the world with such an entrance always keeping me on my toes.  You, your sister, and I have traveled so many roads together and had such a varied and an amazing journey.  Some of the things I loved about you the most was your beautiful smile, strong will and never needing to fit into societies boxes - you definitely lived life on your terms.  You were  born with  a courageous soul.  Your life may have been short but you definitely packed a lot of living into the time you had.  I am not sure how to travel our remaining journeys without you here with us, guess time will lead the way.  

As always - are parting words:  "Be Safe, Be Smart, Have Fun" Until we meet again - Love Mum

To the Loved ones of Olivia:
No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now, it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. I have such fond memories of your daughter in my classroom. It was a pleasure to watch her grow and mature into such a kind and caring individual.  I am proud she was able to fulfill her dream of joining the Army and will never forget her coming to class in her combat boots.   Even though I only knew her for a short while, l will miss her wonderful spirit, love for her family, friends and animals.  May your memories of Olivia sustain and strengthen you as you navigate the difficult days ahead. Please accept both my and my families condolences.

Olivia was a remarkable young woman.   From archery to animals her enthusiasm was an inspiration.   The first reptile show I took her to. Saw us coming back with a tortoise.  To her wanting to get her own chameleon.   Her impact on those around her will continue.   We are better people for knowing her in her brief but special time with us.  

Olivia was part of the crew of friends my kids had in high school and even after joining the army. She was always here at the house for birthdays, holiday parties, and just get together. The first time our dog Phoebe ever went to a dog beach was with Olivia, Evan and her dogs. One memory that particularly sticks out is a Halloween party we had. The crew were all outside making s’mores at the fire. I thought it would be funny scary if my sister and her husband parked on the road (so no one would see them) and walk up through the woods with scary masks. They did and everyone looked at me. As soon as I confirmed that I didn’t know who these creepers were, Olivia grabbed a shovel and Crysta grabbed two marshmallow toasting sticks to defend the group. She was so brave and her best friend had her back to defend their friends. Had to confess pretty quick so no one got hurt. She was always fierce even during Nerf Wars which we did often here and she always chose the bow and arrow as her choice of weapon. I have great videos that make me laugh. We’ll all miss you Olivia ❤️

My heart is so sad for the loss of dear Olivia. I have watched her from afar grow into a beautiful smart young lady.  There is forever a place in my heart for her.
Love, Marg and family 

Olivia was the kindest soul I could have ever met in my middle school years. Since she was so confident and much taller than me, she would help me by silencing bullies and just being one of the funniest and brightest people in the room. Her ambitions and passions were so pure and added to her absolutely wonderful personality. She was truly a good friend to me all through middle school and high school, and I believe she was an angel disguised as a human.

When we were a lot younger, her, me, my brother, and crysta all went to this weird little bonfire event that the high school held. It honestly wasn't the most enjoyable event but the important thing for me that's really where I got to know her. She was a bit wild to say the least. But she just wanted to have fun with her friends. And welcomed making new friends with a person like me. I'm not sure if it was the most memorable event for her, but I think it was a very important time for our friendship and I'm thankful for that day. Having the opportunity to gain a much stronger level of friendship through the years.
