Olivia Rose Ripley

RIPLEY, Olivia Rose
August 2, 2012 – August 3, 2012
It is with lots of tears that we say goodbye to Olivia Rose Ripley, baby girl to Tyler & Dianna Ripley. Little Livy softly tiptoed into our world for just a moment but left footprints upon all our hearts.

Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY’S, Airdrie Funeral Home on Saturday, August 11th from 1pm to 2pm. If friends and family so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to The Emergency Medical Services Foundation, www.emsfoundation.ca or Stars, www.stars.ca. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

 

 

 

My best friend Dianna and her husband Tyler unfortunately experienced  every parents worse nightmare.

Knowing that people lose their children is so sad but to see it happen to people that you love is unbelievable at times.  I was lucky to be with Dianna when her water broke and I got to see her mother in law help out so much and see the excitement in all of their faces.  To have all that change in just a few short hours is still tough to understand and process. 

 

I miss Olivia.  

 

She was a beautiful little baby girl with surprisingly big feet!  Anyone who has met Di and Tyler knows what I am talking about.  

It is not good bye but instead goodnight. 

   

While I am writing this, I don't know what to say or how to express my feelings.  

I do know something though...Seeing Dianna and Tyler during all of this warms my heart.  They are so loving to each other and to see that in amongst all this gives me hope.  They are so loving to each other and do anything to help the other one.  For a lot of couples, losing a child rips them apart but with these two, it has brought them closer.  I love them so much and am so thankful that they are in my life.  

Good night Olivia,

Love Auntie Jill xoxo
