Olivia HARVEY Obituary

My heart was broken when I knew that you passed away. My condolences to your family. You´ve been my idol and friend for more than 14 years. I first met you in Dunedin, we both were so young. You are my first friend in New Zealand. On that time, I even couldn´t speak English. My memories about you is so clear and full of delightful time. Liv, you are such an incredible person who give positive energy to others. Even when you were in hard times, you still send positive vive to my family. I normally fly to New zealand, essentially just to visit you. I still don´t know how can I feel when I land in Nz, and I don´t know how to find you.

I absolutely know you are now angel in the heaven. I wish you know how much we love you with all our heart and our soul.

Beautiful Alan...
Norm introduced us in the Coffee shop, and in pure Norm fashion said something very inappropriate, and you cracked up laughing. From that second, I knew you were also crazy and we would be friends forever.

What a time we have had together.
We have laughed and cried hysterically, talked the behind off a donkey, shared special and incredibly hard moments together. Shared thoughts, hugged, had hard conversations, given advice, yarned, gossiped, eaten so much food, drank a lot, and talked politics way too much.

You are kind, ridiculously thoughtful, so incredibly generous, warm, tough, empathetic, funny, and have a beautiful soul. I feel privileged that you picked me to be part of your life.

Katie and Brian, you made one of the best people I have ever known and for that you should be so proud. She spoke of you both with such admiration and love.
I feel utterly blessed to have had her.

Rich, I was lucky enough to be witness to the day you two met. And in that moment, I knew I had witnessed something incredibly special. She loved you more than anything in the world, and you made her whole. Being a part of your special day was truly a blessing and your Love for each other, banter and relationship was always something to be admired.

The angels are lucky to have you Liv.

You will always be in my heart. I miss you. And love you always. I just hope you know how much.

Life will never be as sweet without you in it.

Until we meet again x

We offer our sincere sympathy to the family of Liv .
We had an association with Liv at CLM.
She was a lovely person to work with . Competent , thoughtful , and easy to get along with.
There is sorrow in our hearts.

This is such sad news....always remembered from Les Mills Christchurch

Liv, On my first day starting work at Les Mills Britomart you greeted me with the biggest smile and were so kind and welcoming to me, for this I am always grateful. When my mum came to visit me in NZ she came with me to do one of your awesome body balance classes, and then we all went out from dinner, you were so welcoming and kind to my mum also. After you left Les Mills every time I saw you, you always were checking in and asking how my mum was. Liv the world has lost a beautiful caring dancing queen way to soon. When I think of you, I think of your beautiful smile beaming, your awesome sparkling bright coloured mic belt you wore for your group fitness classes, your laugh, your dance moves and you kindness. My heart, love, hugs and thoughts go out to Rich and all of his and your family in this hard time. Keep smiling and shining up there liv, love you lots you awesome lady.

I can´t be there in person on Tuesday but I will be live online

Olivia , you could turn heads just by walking into a room, your smile and laugh would brighten anyones day - you often brightened my days - Thankyou
I feel so lucky and privileged to have you as a friend and colleague.
You were such a bright, talented, kind and generous young lady who lived life to the full. You overcame so many obstacles always with a positive outlook rarely complaining. I have memories of you coming to my office goofing around in your moon boot determined to get back on stage teaching Body Balance or Body Jam .... I think I managed to talk you out of teaching Body Step!
If I close my eyes I see a stunning always smiling woman , a twinkle in your eye with your nails and lashes on point , it´s all in the little details and you had that down pat .... Livvy you had such Grace and poise ( the Ballerina in you) but then a cheeky fun and vibrant side full of office shenanigans with Jen, Juliet Troy and Norm and me..... I´ll cherish these memories.....
Your positivity, courage and strength you showed during your battle with cancer was truely unbelievable, hearing the news that you had passed was simply devastating..... it´s still sinking in.
Sending my deepest condolences to your lovely parents Katie and Brian and of course to Richard, your partner in crime, your rock , your soul mate and the love of your life ,
Rest In Peace Dear Livvy , I´d like to think you´re dancing with the angels free from pain -
God Bless you ....
All my love Katty xx

I can´t say there are many people who pushed me and challenged me the way you did that I actually, genuinely LIKED afterwards. But you managed to do it.

You are an absolute powerhouse - someone who isn´t afraid to ask the questions that matter, say it like it is, and advocate for yourself and those around you.

You love rigorously. Your support never falters. And you make a positive impact on everyone who has the privilege of knowing you.

There´s no better feeling than being around a person who lights up when they see you, and that´s the feeling you give everyone who speaks to you. You always have time and patience for people, and I cherish the chats and laughs we shared over the years.

My heart goes out to your family, Rich, Jen, and all those who were lucky enough to know you.

Rest in love, Liv xx

Olivia,
My cousin, the first person and ballerina I idolised as a child and a growing teen. I have many great memories of you growing up. From large boxes of teen magazines and handed down clothing, dancing in your dance room above the garage, swimming in your pool, cups of teas with Jimmy and John across the fence, visits to your house while the adults talked, I always looked forward to these visits. I surely wanted to be just like you. The first girl I really looked up to. You always carried yourself so well and gosh you were always so cool. I will always admire your beauty and strength. I am so sad and so sorry you have gone. You are going to be so deeply missed forever. My sincerest condolences to Katie, Brian and Richard. My heart goes out to you all at this difficult time. Sending strength, love and courage for you all. You are all in my thoughts.

Our deepest sympathy to dear Olivias family. We share your sadness with the unimaginable loss of Olivia. We have beautiful memories from years gone by, the lovely dancer she was, her expressive little face and kind nature. We will never forget "Bambi" With our love and thoughts. Yvette & Nicolette xxxx (Christchurch)

My beautiful friend RIP now I feel honoured privileged and so lucky that I have got to know you
You were the kindest and most generous person that I known
You will be missed

So deeply sad and sorry that our dear Livvy moves on so soon in life! I still can´t believe it. No words can explain how deeply sorry I am to lose someone so mighty, positive, carefree, fun and as awesome as Liv. My heart sinks, so sorry Richard, her parents, Jen, Juliet and all who loved our buddy.

Livvy.. I will never forget you and all you did for me when I got to NZ and how nervous I was and alone. You kept me company and led me into meeting people I now call friends for life. You made me laugh and stood by me and supported when I needed. I never thanked you enough. Love my first LM workshop in NZ was BB with you and again, how you kept me in check. At Britomart working as a team. You are a gem, a kind caring giving friend, who even in a moon boot would be dancing about! You are joy and kindness and I have been missing you and others from here in the UK and now I continue to miss you for always. Fly with the best of angels as you will bring lightness wherever you go. See you in the next life, keep an eye on us all until then and spread your joy wherever you are.
Love, hugs, dance on my friend.

Liv, you absolute firecracker, thank you for sharing your precious time with me.
I feel so privileged to call you my friend.
From the big moments, like your wedding day where I got to watch you marry the man of your dreams, in front of your proud parents and adoring family and friends.
To the small snapshots in time when you, Jen and I would quickly catch up over a bagel before work at Les Mills.
And all the many wonderful times in between.
I will cherish these memories and always hold you dearly in my heart, until we meet again.
All my love, Trudy xx

Our deepest condolences to all the family and friends
To Richard pray that you have the strength to get through this every day
A beautiful friend Livvy May her soul Rest In Peace
I will always love you Livvy - a kind gentle lady who danced like a fairy and loved her near and dear ones so deeply
I miss you so much may you be at peace always xoxo
