Dear Oliva family,
There are no words to ease the pain you are feeling. But maybe you can take some comfort in knowing that Mary is now your guardian angel, looking out for you from heaven above, just like she did when she was here with you on earth. The only difference is she now, can see everything you do. Anthony and Lexie are lucky to have such an angel on their side. With time things will get better. This I promise you. Also know that you have many friends whose thoughts and prayers are with your family through this time of sorrow.
