Olivia Goodbye

When I heard that you had left us
 I was simply blown away
 How could that be possible? 
 We were laughing just the other day

 Your dry wit and your humor
 Your 'grin' and devilish smile
 No one knew what you'd do next
 You had one unique style!

 Oh how I'd anticipate you
  How I waited for your quips
 You had a truly special gift.

 Always there for everyone
 So dependable, sincere
 Kind, gentle and caring
 Felt good to have you near.

 So, my dear departed friend
 I'll think of you each day
 Peace and rest and comfort
 I hope you've found today.

 Your last words to me
 Will help my tears to dry
 You punched my arm and said,
 "Hey...see ya, love ya, bye!"
