My beautiful baby girl Olivia How privileged was I to be with Mummy & Daddy when you finally made your entrance into the big wide world . When they said to me meet your Granddaughter Olivia Rose my heart just burst with happiness & I instantly fell in love with you. You were born in the middle of a heatwave & Steve went out to buy an air conditioning unit , not for us to use but for this new precious bundle who became our priority in life . Your first few weeks were you & mummy getting your feeding right & what a journey you both went on , perfecting it beautifully . From very young you really didn’t like missing out, why sleep when there’s far too much going on around you ? You started to settle in to your routine , always smiles as you woke in the morning , play mat fun , your black & white sensory cards grabbing your attention.Daddy would take you out for early evening walks in your pram to give mummy a rest before your bath time which you grew to love . You continued to grow to be the happiest little girl making friends at sensory classes & generally being a social butterfly . You worked your way through milestones , weaning was a doddle & you loved your food ( especially the ones daddy cooked for you ) l with lots of snacks & blueberries thrown in . You crawled with lightning speed & then started to walk and didn’t we know it no sitting around for us anymore . After a year at home with mummy , she went back to work & you started at Acorns nursery , this was a breeze for you & you just took it all in your stride , especially when soft play was out & again making more new friends . Mummy being back at work meant I now had my special Thursdays with you, just you & me, lots of cuddles , giggles & reading books .we went for walks in your pram & played in the garden … you loved the outdoors pointing out the birds you saw , how I looked forward to these days & our time together . My baby girl you made my heart smile every time i saw you , you looked at everyday as a new adventure with your boundless energy . All that met you fell in love with you especially that big gummy smile, your royal wave and how you lit a room up in an instance You were only with us a short while but what an Impact you made on us all. Nana will hold you in her heart forever & never forget her amazing granddaughter . For now until we meet again , night night sleep tight & be the brightest Star in the sky My beautiful Olivia Rose xx❤️❤️

Darling Olivia, I remember when I first met you. I gasped and said ‘she is SO tiny!’ Even though you had the cutest longest legs (ready for her football career)! Just the most beautiful little girly whilst being held by her proud auntie Amy. Who people often said you looked like her (sorry mum and dad!) One of my memories with you was the constant eye contact from you around Christmas last year, you were fascinated by me and not sure why ha! Never the less I sneakily enjoyed it and was amazed by watching you grow and learn! I have said it numerous times and will always say it, you were the happiest and smiliest baby I have ever met. Always around our house or should I say Denzels house, playing with the remotes, so we couldn’t find them! candles (not lit) and the dogs.. fur to be exact! Forever hiding his toys from your eye line before you toddled off to try grab his red ball. We loved your company, watching you play with that gummy smile we all love and cherish. Such a pleasure to be around! You are going to be so missed Olivia. You played such a big part in all of our lives with your infectious smile we couldn’t resist. You will forever be in mine and Amy’s heart ❤️

Olivia, I remember the first time we met. I held you in my arms and you were the most perfect little girl. You have brightened everyones lives, now go and brighten the sky. Goodnight Olivia ✨💗✨

Olivia, You lit up every room you were in. Your smile, so contagious, could turn anyone’s frown upside down! Although you were so small, the impact you have made on so many of our lives is mighty! You will be so greatly missed and loved forever more. Sweet dreams beautiful baby girl 💜 xxx

Dear Olivia, you are the most beautiful, smiley and darling little girl. I will never forget holding you so small and so precious, only two months old. You bought so much joy for your wonderful family and everyone that had the pleasure to spend time with you. I never told you but I love blueberries too. All my love always, Rose x

Olivia my precious niece, my funny, sassy witty niece. Daddy face timed me (I was on a night shift) 13th July’ 22 early hours asking me if I wanted to see my baby.. niece, NIECE I SAID!? I thought you were a boy… I finished work rushed to nanas house in the hope to have nap before visiting hours. I turn up at the maternity ward 8am sharp eyes full of tears heart ready to burst so excited to meet you, to find auntie Amy had got the wrong times!! I begged and I cried to the ladies to let me come and see you and mummy, “ok just the 10 mins, she’s through there”. And there you were my teeny tiny long legged niece. My peawee. I cried you cried. Fast forward the first few weeks we had sleepovers ,night time feeds, lots of exploded nappies and I was hooked on you, a best friend for life. You found your smile you found your voice and we’d lay for hours cooing over your precious gummy smile, singing songs, and laughing at everything and anything. With a finger pince grip you had your first solid food, I’d come over all clean and leave looking as though we’d had a food fight. I’d never to say no to a snack one finger point to your cupboard and you knew I was wrapped around your finger. We’d clean you all up because bath time was so fun, from playing peek a boo to singing biggy smalls - anything to hear that laugh. Paddington days, to playing in the garden, foot ball was your thing with the strongest right foot - the lionesses didn’t know what was coming. Long walks with Denzel come rain or shine, laughing and waving to everyone that came by. Mad auntie Amy they called me. From a tiny baby probably too small (sorry mummy and daddy) I’d wiz you around rolled in the blanket, throw you in the air and catch you in my arms. All to hear that laugh that gorgeous belly laugh. We had so many memories in your life, ones I’ll hold on to for the rest of mine. My first baby niece, a best friend and more. My world was much better with you by my side, until we meet again my little peawee niece. I’ll love you forever more 💗

It has been a privilege to set up this memorial to Olivia. We hope that everyone finds it a comfort, to have a place for family and friends to share their condolences and memories for the loss of a loved one.
