Todd and Stephanie.

There are no words to express our deepest heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your beautiful daughter, Olivia.  Our hearts ache just thinking about what you are going through right now.  Please lean on your faith and allow that to be your support during this time of sorrow.  God must have thought you did an amazing job raising Olivia – so much so – that he set a place for her early – in his house.  Too early for you – I know – but not according to his plan. Remember, she will ALWAYS live on in your hearts, your thoughts and in your memories. No one can ever take those cherished moments away from you. Please know – we will keep you in our prayers – knowing that God will hold you both in his hands as you face this difficult time.

Lisa and Dave Frymyer

Our hearts ache for you and your beautiful Angel Olivia. We can not even imagine the pain you are experiencing, we are thinking of you often and praying that God will ease your grief. Lean hard on your family and friends, we all need others to carry us through extremely difficult times.

Tina and Jim Kirchner

My heart aches for you during this time of intense sadness. The sorrow that is found in your loss goes far beyond the written word.

Courage: also known as bravery, will and fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty or intimidation.

Physical courage: is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, or threat of death.

The true meaning of this word is directly associated with the fight Olivia gave and the strength, bravery and HONOR Olivia, Todd, Stephanie and Samantha showed during this confusing and tragic time.

That courageous spirit will remain a part of you as you remember her with love and as you find a strength you never knew you had in rebuilding a new way of loving Olivia and living without her physical presence.

You will be forever comforted by Olivia with those memories she’s left you.

NOTHING can take that away from you.

Sincerely,

It is with heart felt sorrow that I send this to your family I can only offer mear words of sympathy in this very sad time. To quote "FootPrints" it is God that walks through life with you and at the hardest times of your life you look at the footprints in the sand and you see only 1 set of footprints it is then that God is carrying you through the trama. I feel so sad and have shed many tears for Olivia and know she is and will always be missed very much.

Dear McCrery Family,

Our heart is broken for you. Words cannot express our sadness. We have been praying for you every night as a family,our church (Living Waters Church) and in the youth group. Jerry Egan goes to our church as well as Peter Dutton, a fifth grader at Hambright. My daughter is also in 5th grade and shares so much in common with your precious Olivia. She is hurting for a family she doesn’t even know. We are especially praying for the friend Rachel and the big sister Samantha. Life is so hard to understand. We are so very sorry. Our prayers will not stop for you.

Sincerely,

Laura Sambrick (the mom) and Sarah Sambrick (5th grader at Hans Herr Intermedate)

My deepest sympathies to your family. My nephew, Ryan Miller, is in Mrs. Martin’s class. May God hold you in the palm of His hands in the coming days.

I didn’t know your daughter well, however I had met her at a soccer clinic where she was helping the coach with the other younger kids (my son Ryan included) Ryan attends 2nd grade at Hambright. She was very helpful, and she seemed to be having allot of fun. It seemed she had a love for not just the game but for helping others as well.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with your and Olivia since we found out in the flyer the school sent home. As a parents who haven’t lost we can’t even try to know how you feel. At least she is with god, watching over the rest of her family.

Please accept our sympathy and prayers, if you ever need anything the entire Hambright family is here to help

John, Michelle and Ryan Nicklas

Although we did not know Olivia personally, we want to extend our deepest sympathy to you as well as her sister Stephanie. Ours is not to know why she was taken so soon but to take comfort in the belief that we will be reunited with her when we meet up in Heaven. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Stephanie and Todd,

It is with a heavy heart that we write this message to you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Olivia was a beautiful gift to you…if only for a short time. Right now you are probably just trying to make sense of it all. She will forever be in your hearts and dreams.  How special she must have been.  Her picture is beautiful. We know that your hearts are broken.  Our hearts are breaking just thinking of your sorrow.  Hold each other close as you go through the hard and difficult days ahead.  Take it one moment – perhaps one breath at a time. You have each other and Samantha to hold onto.  Of course, you have us, as well  If you need anything at anytime, please let us know. She was so lucky to have the two of you for her parents. We think the world of you. 

Much love,

Bob and Doreen Hershey

Todd, Stephanie, and Samantha,

Dear Todd, Stephanie, Samantha and Nancy,

Please know that though we are many miles away in Washington state, we feel grief and sorrow for your loss. Our family is praying for your family. We hope you find comfort in our prayers and in the following poem by W.H. Auden for its profound expression of one’s loss.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message She Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

She was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

With deepest sympathy,

The Christophers (Brian, Lisa, Kathryn and Elizabeth)

Extending our deepest sympathy to you. What a beautiful daughter. We found out about your loss on sunday and our church had a special prayer for you. Lots of guys from our congregation at Spring Garden have played baseball at Intercourse Park over the years and have come to appreciate your service as an ump and are deeply grieved at your loss. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

"Homesick"

You’re in a better place, I’ve heard a thousand times And at least a thousand times I’ve rejoiced for you But the reason why I’m broken, the reason why I cry Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow I’ve never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don’t understand your ways The reason why I wonder if I’ll ever know But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same Cause I’m still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow I’ve never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye

And in Christ, there is no end

So I’ll hold onto Jesus with all that I have To see you again To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face

If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow

I’ve never been more homesick than now

Dear Steph, Todd, Samantha and Nancy,

We share in your sorrow.  We lost our 3 year old nephew, Will, to cancer and like you could only wonder why such innocence is taken from us so young.
We must cling to our faith even when we don’t understand why such things happen.  Our Lord, Jesus said He has gone to prepare a place for us in heaven. Olivia is there, joyfull and happy.  Our minds cannot conceive the reality of heaven…we must simply have faith and believe. 

Please try and take care of yourselves and take the time you need to mourn and heal.  So many prayers remain with all of you through this sorrowful time. At the same time, think about your sweet, Olivia and what she would want all of you to do.  She would want you all to go on and live life.  You will in time.

You have been blessed with a precious gift, Olivia and she shined so brightly in her short life. She has touched so many lives and inspired so many with her strenth and spirit.  Olivia will never be forgotten.

God Bless you all!

With Love,

Cousins, Loretta and Marty

Olivia has touched our hearts and lives here in Hatboro and the surrounding area. We formed a close group for prayers and the Willow Grove Michaels where I work also kept her in theirs. She was a very special girl which is evident in the fact that so many that never ever laid eyes on her could be touched so profoundly.
My sympathies go out to you and your family.

May God Bless all of you and watch over you during this most difficult time.  Olvia was a wonderful child and our children enjoyed playing with her back at the park.  Andrew loved when Olvia would visit with her dog and was always so excited when Olivia would roll down the hill with him and race to the bottom when no one else would! Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  May you find some comfort knowing that Olivia is with God and looking down upon all of you.

I have always heard that just like a field-full of flowers, God picks the prettiest one for himself. I would like to think that is why he chose Olivia.

Pure, innocent, and full of love.

Dear McCrery Family,

When I shall close my eyes for the last time, and leave behind this beautiful place I love- These trees, these bushes, these birds- This crystal night sky, this radiant sunshine day,- The hello and goodbye to Gods’ four seasons over the years- Family, all friends- Cry not for me! Rejoice!

My soul has wings and when my eyes reopen I shall look into the eyes of Almighty God.

Our Deepest Sympathy,

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Olivia, but I have been praying for her throughout this horrible tragedy.  I belong to a scrapbooking message board on which updates were given. 

I can’t imagine the loss and pain you are feeling.  My prayers continue to be extended to your family.

THE STAFF AND CONGRIGATION OF DESERT BREEZE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF GLENDALE ARIZONA EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPHANY AT THE LOSS OF THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILD. WE WERE ADVISED OF HER ILLNESS BY THE SCRAP ROOM AND HAD HER IN OUR PRAYERS FROM THE BEGINNING OF HER ILLNESS. WE ARE NOW PRAYING FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF OLIVIA.

I DID’NT KNOW OLIVIA PERSONALLY BUT FOUND OUT ABOUT HER THROUGH A FAMILY MEMBER.
I CONTINUED TO PRAY FOR HER THROUGHOUT HER BRIEF ILLNESS. GOD BLESS HER FAMILY. JUST KNOW THAT SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE RIGHT NOW, WATCHING OVER YOU AND WAITING TO SEE YOU ALL IN HEAVEN SOME DAY. I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE THE PAIN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THERE IS NO GREATER PAIN THEN LOSING A CHILD. JUST TRUST IN GOD AND HE WILL GET YOU THROUGH THIS TERRIBLE TIME. MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS

Dear Stephanie and Family,

I know Stephanie, Samantha and Olivia from Hershey Heritage Pool. You are such a nice family, always pleasant and friendly. Suzanne Albright called me yesterday and told me of Olivia. I have moved from the area, so I hadn’t been aware of what you all were going through this past month. I’m shocked and saddened by the news. My memories of Olivia started when she was a little toddler with a pacifier, running around the pool. She always was so active, and so beautiful.

My heart aches for you.
