Mrs. Olivia Alves Libanio

My godmother was a special women. She was always full of joy, love and happiness. I want to thank my godmother and godfather for accepting me into there home when my parents were not around. She took such good care of me. The little time that I spent at my godmothers house was the most cherished time ever. It's sad that both my godparents are in heaven now but I know that they are happy to be together again. You have left my live but you will never leave my heart. My condolences to my cousins and there family in this tough time. I love you all with all my heart.

You will be greatly missed Grandma Olivia. You are in a better place with Grandpa now. We love you and miss you. Love, Andrew, Dayana, Alexander and Kassandra

Dear Gourete, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Your mother was such a special person, and she will be greatly missed. Sending you all my love, Piper

Rest in Peace Aunt Olivia. Susie, Gourete, Andrea and Andy, my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. Wishing you all much strength to get through this very difficult time. May your fond memories help you. She will be missed. Im sorry I was unable to attend the funeral, I am away for work, but you are on my mind and in my heart. Big hug to all. May her bright smile shine down on you always.

In my memory of Mrs Olivia Libanio, I still see her zooming around full of energy, I truly was astonished of the amount of energy Mrs. Libanio had. Mrs. Libanio, made the best masa in Toronto!! No bakery can compare. I still have the taste in my mouth of the delicacie of her octopus stew incredible! I will never forget that beautiful sunny afternoon making peppers with Mr.Mrs Libanio. I am sure Mr. Libanio is greeting her with open arms. My deepest sympathy to the Labanio family. May the Lord crown her with everlasting life. I hope my mom, can make friends with her in heaven.

You will celebrate your Mom's life with your tears. And move on to the next stage of grieving. It is so hard, I know as I have been through it. You will make it and let us know how you are doing. Hugs, Donna R, Caregivers group

To me my Aunt Olivia was in my eyes the strongest woman i have ever known. when i was a child... i would look up to her because she always stood up for what was right.... that to me says allot about a human being ..her relationship with my Uncle was a cherished one ...something that i only dream i can have one day. My sincere condolences to all my cousins ...love you all!!! Your cousin. Theresa

Mom How it pains me so to read your name here...to finally have to let you go. I remember clearly when we first suspected something was wrong, Sue walked you in to see the doctor while Dad and I waited for you and we both cried so hard because we knew your life, all of our lives would never be the same again. That was over 12 years ago and we watched Lewy Body Dementia demish you over time. This disease stripped away all your abilities, your legendary strength, your memories, your voice and caused your mind and poor body so much pain. It was so hard to watch you go through this and we all tried so hard to ease your pain. I can't imagine how much harder still it was for you to endure it all. Lewy Body Dementia came across a very worthy opponent when it choose you because you demonstrated a courage and strength that I could only hope to emulate. You fought it all the way - you fought the good fight. I will always remember our daily walks in your wheelchair - feeding the birds at the park, eating yummy treats from the Portuguese bakery and nicking beautiful flowers from people's gardens while I ran away with you in the wheelchair in order to evade getting caught and all the while you would laugh and smile all the way home holding onto your prize. We shared many smiles, laughs, hugs, "I love yous"...we became amigas and our mother/daughter relationship became stronger than it ever was before. I will always be so grateful for this - more than you'll ever know. Dad loved you so very much mom and your health and happiness was always his primary concern. He was the very model of how a loving husband should care for a much loved spouse in time of ill health. He only wanted to be near you and I know it pained his heart to have to leave you behind when he died. Sue and I tried so hard to care for you mom all these years. There wasn't anything we wouldn't try to help ease your pain and enrich your life. Andrea and Andy were there with you too mom and they brought their little girls to you, your great-grand-daugthers so that they could know you and love you too. Lynn was a God-send to you and our family - your third daughter. I don't think we could have survived all these years without her loving care and loyalty to you. Lynn, words cannot express how grateful I am to you. I also want to thank my beautiful daughter Andrea for being there with mom when she finally left this earth. It took tremendous courage and strength of character to do that for her grand-mother whom she loved so much. I think it was fitting that it happened this way because from the very second I put newborn Andrea in my mom's arms mom fell totally in love and that love only deepened throughout their lives. Thank you Andrea. Mom, I hope you are reunited with Dad now. With your mom and dad, your beloved sister and your brothers. You are free of pain now. I love you mom. I am so sad that I no longer have my Cenoura Olivia. RIP Mom. We all love you so much. I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown, Which the Lord, the righteous judge, Will give to me on that day. Timothy 4,7,8
