Olivia was a bright young woman with whom I went to elementary school. For a variety of reasons that school was terrible for me, but she continually reached out and helped me. Today I heard of her passing from cancer, the third battle since October 2020, and more battles with it going back to 2018. A kind and caring beam of light in this dark world. She was 19. We know that, through conformity to the Cross, all have the hope of being united with God for all eternity. I am not 100% sure if she was baptized Catholic or practiced, but I'm sure God looks after her nonetheless. But I'm certain she needs your prayers, if not for herself, then for those dearest to her. Requiescant in pace.
