Dear Melissa and David,

I was sad to hear about Olivia on Saturday. I was at work when I got the call, I then Printed out her picture off the web and took this pretty little girl who is now an angel with me everywhere I went. I don't know why God has takin her away, I was going to put the poem up that we had for my Dad because I thought you would like it but your aunt lily already did and I am glad that you have it now. I know none of this helps your pain but with friends and family we can help make it a little eaiser along the way. I love you both with all my heart and I will always be there for you.



Love Barb and Mark Gronowski

Dear Melissa, David and Madison,



Olivia was an inspiration to so many people. She was a fighter and tried her very hardest to beat the enemy. I know you are so proud of her and so are we. To have touched so many people's hearts is a real testament and one that we will all keep close.



Olivia is in such a wonderful, pain-free, loving place now. She joins loved ones who will welcome her and care for her. We know that God had a plan and while we don't understand, we certainly thank him for allowing us the opportunity to know this special child.



We love you and we share in your grief and saddness. Please know that we are always here for you.



All our love and prayers,

Candy & Gary

David, Melissa & Olivia,



We Love You.



This is just something that I saw and thought you might like.



God saw she was getting tired

and the cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around her and whispered "Come with me"

With tearful hearts we watched her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

small little hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.



Love Auntie Lilly, Uncle James & Christian
