I did not know Olivia King, but I know how hard it is to lose a Mother and a Grandmother.  My own mother passed away on June 26, 2021.  All of you are in my prayers, known you loved your Mother very much. I have no children, and know what it feels like, to lose someone you love.  Wish I could be a friend to help with all of you at this time.  All of you had a great loving Mother and Grandmother, sister,  that her lasting love will always be with you, since all of you have great memory's of her.  Love and prayers to all of you.

On behalf of the Filipino Community in the Greater Memphis Area,
I would like to offer my deepest and sincerest sympathy to the Family of Olivia. Although we did not know Olivia , we enjoin the 
community in supporting the King Family during this very difficult time , not only because we are of the same heritage but specially because of the tragic way that she died.

Reading the many tributes attached to her, she must have been
someone really special.

We profoundly feel and share your loss. We will keep her in our memory and we will keep her and the family in our thoughts and prayers.

To Jason and the King family: May your mother Olivia's memory be a blessing. We have contributed $250 to the Paralyzed Veterans of America in her honor, and as our humble thanks for your family's service. 

 Deepest sympathies from your Knowledge Bowl friends (Berta, Janice, Brian, Theresa, Rahul, Danny, Jeff, Ross, Kate).

I never knew Olivia, but she seemed like a great lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends in this difficult time for both them and the Collierville community. 

To Olivia's family,
I didn't know her, but my sympathy goes out to her family with the tragic way in which she died! The picture they've showed of her with such a pretty smile on her face! May God wrap His loving arms around her family! Feel the love, support, & prayers of the community!❤🦋🙏

My heart breaks for Olivia's family.  Such a terrible tragedy.   She was a former neighbor of mine when I lived in Collierville.   She and Greg raised incredible boys who were always polite and happy.  Olivia had a kind heart and a beautiful smile.  I'm a better person for knowing her.  RIP sweet Olivia! ❤

I worked beside Olivia at First City Bank in Corpus back in the 70s and we were good friends back then.  We eventually lost touch when she moved away.
I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and remember how hot it was in the Catholic Church that day in Gregory.  It seemed like the longest wedding I had ever been in because we had all the usual Catholic ceremony and then what seemed to me a very large amount of Madrinas presenting the Lasso, dimes, etc.  I think there were only 2 ceiling fans going and we attendants were standing  up at various pews down the center aisle, sweating in our lovely dresses. Of course, Olivia was smiling, radiant and beautiful.
She had gorgeous long black hair and always wore dresses, was always ladylike and proper, but also fun.   I never saw her in jeans back then.  She had long, beautiful manicured nails and I was a nail biter, so she told me to always keep polish on my nails to keep from biting them. 
I spent a few nights at her parents' house and had dinner with the family.  One night I thought the mashed potatoes tasted different but were very good, so I wanted a second helping.  I asked someone to please pass the mashed potatoes and the family started laughing.  Olivia then informed me I had not been eating mashed potatoes but instead they were cow brains!  Olivia and I laughed about that for months. My first taste and I had enjoyed it.
She was a lovely girl back then, always smiling and laughing, friendly and just plain nice.  There must be a very special place in Heaven just for her.
RIP dear Olivia.
