My condolences to Livy's family, David Johnston, Steve and Shelly Street including all of their family, and of course little Kayli Ann.
Livy you were a great person to know, you always brought light to those who had the pleasure to know you. You will be missed, and we will never forget you.
Rest in Peace and we will meet up again some day.

Joe,
I pray that you and your family find some peace and comfort in each other during this time as I can't imagine the difficulty and sadness. While I unfortunately do understand the loss of young people, there's still no comparison as each individual is so special in their own way as I've heard about Olivia. I hope that her daughter will be a bright spot for you all and remember that people in your work family grieve for you all as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Lara Deal

We all have just lost one of the most genuine and free spirited girls that I have ever met !!!!! I just seen her about 2 weeks ago with her daughter Kali at Wal Mart ( I always seemed to run into her there ) and she was looking at rings, saying she was going to have one soon and how happy she was with her current boyfriend - she said she finally found "the one"!! I was so happy for her after that, and to hear this just breaks my heart!! My family will hold your family in our hearts and prayers.
