"I know it's been a very, very, very difficult time for everybody in the whole planet - so this is a time we can get together, celebrate each other and our families and whatever faith that you believe in we can express it with each other which is very important. "I want to thank you all for all of your support over the years and I wish you all the best and send you love and light." Beneath the post, one fan wrote: "An angel now and forever. God speed, Olivia." "So many condolences for your family during this time. Beautiful soul- Our hearts break but you're bringing light to another place, happy journey," another said. Related links:
