Words cannot even begin to express the incredulity I feel at the outpouring of love. As stunned as I am by Olivia's death, I am in complete wonderment at the outpouring of love. I am profoundly moved and grateful for the love, care, empathy as our family still goes through this overwhelming storm. I wish I could reach out across these pages, hug you and grasp your hands, in deepest thanks.
Of late, I had become pessimistic about events and people in the world. I now know my viewpoint has been, slowly becoming distorted because of harsh experiences happening to me lately. But, we cannot determine the Entirety of truth or reality simply and only by what happens just to me, only myself. There IS goodness; there IS love. There is tremendous beauty and goodness in the world; there absolutely is. I see it; I have witnessed it. I have been its recipient.
I ask that everyone touched by Olivia’s death and life, nurture and grow your unique abilities, dreams, and talents to create beauty, goodness; Try not to hesitate, second guess yourself. While we live, I now know it is an absolute privilege to express love and experience it. Without us, Love has no vehicle, no channel, no form
Again, the deepest thanks and gratitude to everyone who gave.
