"My heart breaks for this young family. This beautiful child was a school friend of my great grandchildren Jax & Lucia. Unimaginable loss," wrote one family friend.

"I was Olivia's teacher for year and a half when schools were virtual," wrote another. "I loved Olivia's smile, happy nature and spunkiness. My heart and prayers go out to the family. I will miss her more than words can say."
