Dear Lynch Family, I pray for your family and for Olivia in heaven. I will definately plant somthing in my garden in honor of her beatiful little life and spirit that has touched even those she never met. I am one of those and it was a great joy to make a few hairbands for her to wear and share this past year. Please know you and your family have not stopped being in my prayers. No doubt she is bringing lots of joy those in heaven and will always be with us. My her memory be eternal. -Desiree (Roz’s friend)

To the Lynch family,
A few weeks ago, I read Oliva’s obituary in the paper in passing while waitressing at my job. Her beautiful smile caught my eye. I have 3 children of my own, 10, 4, and 2, and lately things have been rough. Despite working on the weekends and my fiancé Luke’s full time me job, money is tight year round. This year, for the first time, we signed up for Toys for Tots. Unfortunately,  I wasn’t able to go as I had to work this morning and couldn’t afford to take off, so Luke went in my place. It wasn’t until I got home and looked through the box of toys that we stumbled upon your envelope. I’m in tears typing this because we truley will have an amazing Christmas now thanks to Olivia. <3 Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. The Shirey’s.

Our prayers are with you.

I am heartbroken to hear of the loss of your little daughter, Olivia.  An early death is tragic and sad, and I can’t help but think about the success, love, prosperity, opportunity and achievement she may have had in store for her life had she been spared this wretched disease.  I will be extra vigilant about performing random acts of kindness in Olivia’s honor, and I pray that you may take comfort knowing she rests this day in Paradise.
Sincerely,
Frances Axsmith

Paul, Kelly and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you for the loss of your sweet angel on earth. She will now be the angel on your shoulder watching over and guiding you.  Olivia was wise beyond her years and she was born into a family of great strength and grace. I will be honored to do acts of kindness in sweet Olivia’s name and plant colorful flowers next year in her honor. She will always be a reminder of grace to us all.

Our deepest sadness for the loss of your sweet Olivia.  I remember her big smiles as she jumped on he trampoline with Vaughn this summer, she was such a trooper, when she would go down, get up, and jump again.
 Tears for your loss of this young Angel.  Prayers for your extended family.

December 06, 2015

I had the privilege of being embraced by Olivia’s delightful presence only one time. I was inside my home and heard these childlike squeals of glee! Adoring children, I ran outside, down the driveway, to cast my eyes upon a child, smiling from ear to ear, dancing around my vintage-style ice cream truck! She was touching, very, very gently, the rubberized “eyelashes” and the painted characters on the truck! My neighbor, an extraordinary person, Carol, peered around the corner of the truck and introduced me to her niece, Olivia!! Carol had spoken to me, on occasion, of the family’s challenges. I was so emotionally and spiritually overwhelmed by Olivia’s being, I was compelled to scoop her up, into my arms, and embrace her physical and ethereal  being!! Every week I reiterated to the ice cream truck drivers to please make sure to stop at Olivia’s house as they made their neighborhood visits. Of course, Liam and Grace were always welcomed! I only can hope and pray, in an extremely minute way, we were able to bring some fleeting moments of joy to Olivia; who is now, Somewhere over the Rainbow??  My Heart to All of Your Hearts, Gail, aka, The Ice Cream Lady

I wanted time to write something meaningful, something touching, something perfect for you all, but I guess I’ll just share an experience. 
As you know life can be stressful and demanding and overwhelming. I wanted to be there to express my appreciation for Olivia, and to show how much I care about her family. I’m so sad not to be there as we have some hospital drama here. Don’t worry all is good! As I walked through the halls of Penn State Hershey Medical Center all I thought about was the calm I was feeling because of how you talked about living in the moment, Kelly. It was something I practiced long ago, but you reminded me again. Thank you for that. I should’ve been stressed out, but I was at ease thinking in the moment, appreciating it. I made a purpose of smiling at everyone as they passed me while thinking of Olivia, and how her life here has meant so much to so many people. Holding the elevator door, saying something kind to someone that looks sad, and even taking time to be patient (and keeping my cool!) and kind when in tense moments. Those Random Acts of Kindness have Olivia’s name all over them! Not only will this carry on her memory and the amazing things she’s shown people, BUT it will be life changing for so many individuals. Thank you, Olivia and thank you, Lynch family!
Oh…and a special little note from Nick. He said, “I can’t wait to see Olivia again! I bet she’ll be friends with me again, and probably my baby brother.” It is real. Until we meet again, little Olivia!
We love you, Lynch family!

My most benevolent condolences to the all the loved ones of Olivia. My name is John Sayer and I run a private program dedicated to Acts of Kindness. I was moved by the request of the family  in lieu of flowers please do an act of kindness in Olivia’s memory.  The passing of this little angel will not be in vain or without purpose. I will renew my strength in my work as an advocate for Random Acts of Kindness in memory of this little angel who spent too little time on this earth. May her spirit and soul soar to new heights as we that are left behind to finish what she has started on  this earth. My God continue to bless all her loved ones.

Olivia, this beautiful child, taught most of us life lessons in 5 short years, that sometimes take a lifetime to learn. She was so brave, kind, gracious, cheerful, resilient, and generous.

Our family is heartbroken that Livvy’s story took this turn.  Her story will continue on, however, it is not over.  She has impacted so many people in such a short time.  God used her in a mighty way.  Livvy taught us all how to truly live – to not give up, no matter what the circumstances are.  She was a true warrior – so brave and so very courageous.  Her glorious smile will forever be imprinted in our memories.  We will continue to lift you up in prayer.

I am a student at Penn State and a THON volunteer.  I met Olivia last year at THON.  I was on the Dancer Relations Comittee and was able to spend a lot of time with Olivia on the floor.  Her vivacious personality and infectious smile captivated me.  All she wanted to do was for me to give her piggy back rides and run around playing tag.  She was such a sweet, fun, caring little girl.  I am so, so sorry about your loss.  I know there are no words to ease the pain but just know that the Penn State and THON community is sending love and prayers to your family.

December 03, 2015

Paul and Kelly… I can’t even begin to imagine the depths of your grief. Prayers are being said for you and your family, and random acts of kindness will be carried out to honor your precious daughter, Olivia. May God’s love offer some level of comfort during this emotionally painful journey. God bless.

I did not Olivia or her family.  My heart aches for you Olivia’s family.  My heart also rejoices in knowing Olivia is now pain free and that beautiful little smile and face is lighting up Heaven.  I pledge to do random acts of kindness  as much as possible.  I pray that the five years of memories will constantly fill your hearts.  May God hold all of you in his Loving arms, conforting you.. Love and God’s Grace upon you and all family… Linda L. Hanna..
