Olivia Darlene Herschberger

Olivia Darlene Herschberger went home to Jesus on Friday, January 25th, 2013. She was born on July 13th, 1992 in Gainesville, FL, and spent most of her life in Sarasota, FL. She was a gentle, brave, beautiful girl, and we treasured every single day of the 20 precious years she spent with us.

She will be greeted in Heaven by her grandfather, Bert Miller, and her uncle, Marlin Shank.
