Dear Wise Family, Although I never met your daughter, my neice speaks very highly of her. Her story and spirit have moved both my husband and I. We have watched all of the videos dedicated to her and can only hope that our own children will inspire others the way that your Liv did. May her memory be a blessing to all those who loved her.

Dear Wise Family I'd like to offer you my sincere condolences. Unfortunately we have a lot in common. Our 19 year old son David passed away from brain cancer 12 years ago and much like your precious Liv, David was a performer. He also loved to sing, dance, act and like Liv was an inspiration and touched the hearts of all who knew him. When I saw the report on TV, I felt your pain and knew what a terrible disease this was and the tragedy of loosing such a young and talented child. I wish you strength and courage in the months and years to come with the hope our children are singing cancer free in a better world. My sincere condolences again Charron Bloom

Dear Wise family, Our deepest condolences go out to you during this difficult time. We're honoured to have had spent many summers with Olivia at camp and can now look back at these memories we have of her and just smile. Liv's infectious laugh, warm smile, and bubbly personality would instantly light up a room. But then there's her singing. Whether it be a performance in one of the unit plays or just singing to her friends in the cabin, Liv's voice always brought joy to those around her. With her cover of Katy Perry's song, It's safe to say that Olivia's roar has been heard by the entire world. She's a true inspiration and a true hero. Olivia will remain in our hearts forever.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Olivia. I recall so vividly her infectious personality and wonderful smile when we met quite by chance at PMH, both on a path of fear and apprehension. It was seeing and talking to Liv, seeing her courage and strengh that gave me the courage I needed . I feel blessed and enriched to have had her in life , even for just a short time. Liv's Roar will forever be with me.

Her passing is intensely sad and I send all my love, thoughts, prayers, and condolences to the Wise family and all of the people who continue to hold Olivia close to their hearts. I hope that your memories of this wonderful girl will help you through your grief and what will clearly be a tough holiday season.

Dear Honey, Michael, Kari, Kaily, Sabrina and Jason, Words do not seem to be strong enough to offer comfort at such a devastating time. Your family has proven to be an outstanding role model for those dealing with tragedy. Liv and her family are truly an inspiration to an entire community. Michael, I do not think that we have ever met. My grand mother Lily Wise and your paternal grandfather were brother and sister. I told my children of this connection when we spoke of Olivia and her situation and her bravery. It brought her story to a different level. They participated in fund raisers in Liv's honour and did so knowing that they shared a common lineage. Your daughter accomplished a great deal in her life and I know that you will continue to live her legacy. On behalf of the Needleman and Einhron families we wish you the strength and courage to deal with this devastating time.

“Roar” was a song by Katy Perry; it is now a song that will be remembered because of Olivia Wise. When this new single was released, it was just another pop song. Liv’s version resonated with the entire world, and it will continue to do so. We hear your voice, you are a champion and you will remain in our hearts forever.

I am so saddened with the passing of Olivia. As Rabbi Scheim had put it, she was a very special girl, and most appopriately now at Chanukah, she was indeed like a candle that has illuminated the lives of everyone around her, those fortunate enough to have spent time with her, and now so many around the world. She has become an inspiration to so many. However that does not take away from the profound pain and saddness of her being taken away so soon. There is an expression that may her memory be for a blessing, and that is quite obvious in Olivia's case. May the Lord comfort you with all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Dear Wise Family...I do not know you, but as the flames of the Chanukah candles flicker this week, all of you and your precious Olivia will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will not think of Liv as a light gone out, but rather as the Shamash who kindles all the other lights to burn brightly. Norman Cousins once wrote, If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality. That is your Olivia. May her memory continue to be for many blessings and may her light always bring you strength and comfort.

I heard both versions of Katy Perry's Roar today but honestly prefer Olivia's over the original one it has an emotional overtone to it that transcends the simple notes on a page which can't be produced by a sound engineer! I truly hope that by the end of this week's shiva the target of $150,000 for Sick Kid's will not only be reached but also surpassed in her honour and cancer will be eradicated once and for all!

There wasn't a day since then that I didn't think of her surrounded by her loving family. Even with the knowledge that she was holding on to life for such a short time, no-one can be ready to see her gone. Her sweetness and positive attitude are such an inspiration. It's good to know the video shows her spunk - so happy you'll have this memory.

I knew Olivia since grade 4, and she was the most outgoing person I ever met. She was never shy, and she cared deeply about other people's feelings, and would always do her best to help other people before thinking of herself. She wasn't afraid to step up or root for the underdog. As we got older, our small classes & community of friends expanded and we didn't interact as much as we used to, but that didn't change the way I looked at her or respected her. Although her roar video made a huge impact on the world, I had already seen the bravery and strength she had in our time together. Thank you for the way you touched my life.

One's life is measured by the amount of people they touched. Olivia's brave soul touched the hearts and lives of people all over the world, and she will continue to live on through the lives of those she inspired. Although her time here was too short, she accomplished more than most people do in their entire life. She inspired the world and if even for just a moment, she brought everyone who heard her roar to a better place. Olivia's story proves that angels do exist and sometimes if we are lucky enough, they walk amongst us. Her roar reminded everyone that heroes come in all forms and all ages. It reminded us that sometimes if we are lucky enough we will be given the chance to be touched by one of these heroes, no matter how short that experience may be. Like all heroes before her, Olivia will rest in peace but will never be gone or forgotten. Her legacy will continue to inspire me, and so many others for the rest of our lives. Although I never personally got the chance to meet Olivia, I owe her many thanks. Not only did she remind me of the importance of love and laughter, but also to make the most of every precious moment we are given. I only hope one day I am lucky enough to meet Olivia, and when I do I will thank her for how she changed my life. I will tell her that she inspired me to roar and live each day to its fullest. To the entire Wise family and friends, cherish the memories you have of Olivia forever as they are her legacy. She will continue to live on through your spirits and souls. I know she is in a better place. Rest in paradise beautiful girl. I know I will meet you one day and until then I will forever roar in your honour. Thank you for being my eye of the tiger.

Her voice and her priorities during the most challenging period of her life is awesome and most humbling. She sang and her heart and her soul called out and inspired the world. The mitzvah that she did to ensure that she did her part to hopefully help others to eradicate this horrible disease and to have been so selfless and to raise funds and to have succeeded as she did is reason to be even more proud of this young lady. May you all be comforted with all the mourners of Zion and Yerushalyim and know no more pain. May Olivia's Neshama be a blessing in Gan Eden and I know that her beautiful voice will enthrall those that are now with her in her Heavenly home and in Hashem's loving arms. May her memory sustain you her loved ones for 120 years. AMEN and AMEN.

I felt compelled to reach out to you when I heard of her passing because we share a common experience. I lost my mother to brain cancer on November 25, 1982....31 years to the day before the same disease took Olivia. May we continue to search for a cure to this disease so that we can hear the ROARS of all children. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Honey and family, Many of my earliest summer memories include the Wise family, as I grew up in the cottage across the street. I moved away long enough ago that I never had the chance to meet Olivia, but based on her family, I know she was showered with love. May your family gain strength from each other during this difficult and unfair time. There is no rulebook for this tragedy. Just be there for each other.

The song is ended but the melody lingers on.... Irving Berlin. I did not personally know Olivia or the wonderful Wise family but am connected through very dear friends and now through some family members. As someone who works closely with charities I have heard many stories over the last several years but none that have touched me quite like Liv's. Her beautiful spirit has engulfed the world at large and the sparkle in her eye and warm, gentle smile in her Roar video could melt the coldest of hearts. I hope you find strength in knowing that you are surrounded by so many people who loved Liv and you, the wonderful family who cared for her until her last moment and beyond.

What a tragic loss of such an obviously vibrant, beautiful and talented young woman. I watched Olivia sing her version of Roar hers sounded better then Katy Perry's and how beautiful and heartfelt it was. Like someone else wrote here it doesn't get better, it gets different. I know that to be true. I've lived it. From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry for your loss. May Olivia rest in peace and may her memory be forever and ever blessed.

Although I have never met Olivia, I feel as though I got to know her through the many articles I've read over the past few weeks. Her amazing courage and zest for life is so inspiring and contagious. From the very first time I heard her singing Roar, I was mesmerized. I have heard that song hundreds of times since on the radio and I never heard Katy Perry - only heard Olivia's voice in my mind. As a mother of four young kids, I can't even begin to imagine the pain and suffering your family is going through and will continue to live with for the rest of your lives. I offer my sincere condolences and hopes and prayers that you are able to get through these dark times and come out of them smiling as you remember and cherish the upbeat, positive and beautiful person that Olivia was. Thank you for sharing her story with the world. You took a very personal matter and made it public and as a result you have touched millions of people. May Olivia's memory always be a a blessing and may she rest in peace and shine down on all of you as your guardian angel.

To The Wise Family, My heart goes out to you during this painful time. The world lost a beautiful person yesterday, both inside and out. I am honoured to have had the privilege to share many summers with Olivia at Camp Winnebagoe. I feel particularly special that I had the opportunity to experience Olivia's vibrancy, loving personality and creative energy as her counsellor. Her smile alone could light up a room. I remember she was always singing, no matter the time of day or what we were doing. To this day I can still hear her singing Taylor Swift's Our Song. Olivia's passion for music was something that was so inspiring and I will never forget it. She will remain in my heart forever. I am sending my love, thoughts and prayers from Israel. Olivia's legacy will continue to live on in the memories of all the people she touched. She is an inspiration to all us and a true hero. With Deepest Sympathy, Elysse

The world became a darker place today. Olivia Wise, a beautiful young girl full of talent and spunk - A life taken too soon. She taught us what it means to roll with the punches, to be brave enough to live life creatively. She epitomized what it meant to be strong when feeling nothing but weak. She defined what it meant to be a hero – to those she knew and to those she didn’t. Olivia stressed the importance of living and loving as if it was your last day on Earth. “There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.” – Karl Marx Liv, you’ve had a global impact. The legacy you leave behind will continue to inspire millions to live life to the fullest, to be grateful for everything we have, and to love unconditionally. And though you’ve been taken from us far too soon, we will forever remember your contagious smile, your infectious laugh, and of course, your loud roar. Tomorrowwill be a true testament to the impact you leave behind on the community, as the room will be filled with people who come to celebrate your life, and all the happiness you've brought to the world.. We love you Livy. Thank you for inspiring us all. Always remembered, never forgotten

I pray that Hashem will give your exceptional family great strength. Olivia wanted no tears, only celebration of her life and may this be a constant source of courage to you all. May your smiles never fade as you remember your precious Olivia

Dear Kari, Michael, Kaily, Sabrina and Jason: Words are inadequate to express how profound the loss of Olivia is to everyone who knew her. We are heartbroken for you. We will always picture Olivia with a huge smile on her face. She and Bree kept me company many evenings at my house when Noah was a baby and I always thought it was so funny how I really viewed these two little girls as great friends and great company. They had become such a fixture at our place when David was travelling for work, that once he came home from a trip and they opened up my front door and asked him Who are you. We knew then that we had picked the right neighbourhood to raise our kids and we always laugh about that story. Olivia was always so mature, helpful and happy. I always knew she would do great things in life and it is no surprise how she has inspired so many people around the world. Kari, as I told you before, you are an inspirational role model to me as a mother and you always were. We send you love and wish you great strength in these dark days. Love, Dayna, David, Noah, Max & Chloe

To the family of the amazing Olivia, I was looking through CNN like I normally do, just glancing at the news. I happen to see Olivia's story and submerged myself in her story. I started to read, crying, listening to her songs, and her beautiful voice. What a beautiful, amazing daughter you raised. I lost my father just a couple months ago at the age of only 56, and very sudden. I know it's not the same, but the pain is very real. I can't begin to imagine what you're all going through. I know we'll never meet, and you might not ever read this, but know you are in my thoughts and prayers. It meant so much to me to know others cared. Please find peace in knowing your daughter has touch so many lives all over the world. Much love to you all...

Every single time Olivia would walk down the path at Camp Winnebagoe, her smile would light up the entire path. No matter what the circumstance was, just by saying hi to her, she could have brightened up your day. Whenever I think of The Winnebagoe Garden Theatre, I always think of you and that performance you gave as Patrice and how you absolutely mesmerized everyone with your voice.

Her love was anticipated and always embraced. When Sabrina or Jason did not want to perform at the winter concerts Olivia was excited to jump right in when we offered her to get on stage and have Sabrina or Jason sit beside her or on her lap and sing along with them. She had a joy and spirit that will always live in our memories and all the people that were fortunate enough to know her.

Olivia's story touched and inspired people of all ages and faiths around the globe. Her video went viral because of her presence, poise, courage and irrepressible spirit. In that way, she taught us lessons we never realized that we needed to learn. I didn't know Olivia personally, but I work with several young people who are connected to your own family. They periodicaly shared their distress and their own fears from the time she was first diagnosed - and then their awe at how she conducted herself through it all. In the end, I believe that Olivia's message is most powerful because she could have been any of them - and if so, perhaps any of them could someday find it within themselves to become like her.

She was still the happiest most beautiful young girl. I hope that you find comfort in the legacy that Olivia has left. All my love Marla Novak Litowitz

Wise Family, We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of your precious daughter and sister, Olivia, and are thinking of you at this very difficult time. I remember her from Cole's class at Hillcrest and have her in our Hannukah video. She was adorable then and grew into a gorgeous girl who was more brave than most and inspired so many people creating a lifelong impact. on family, friends, and even those that never knew her. To accomplish this at such a young age is rare and shows what a special person she was and her spirit will live on forever. Audrey Graham, Maddie, Cole, and Blake.

Dear Kaily and Wise Family, I am at a loss of words. Olivia’s message was one I have never experienced before. It was one that not only touched my heart, but it touched thousands of others at several different elementary schools, high schools and universities. Your daughtersister was one that will leave a legacy behind that not many other will. She has been an inspiration for many to live life to the fullest and never dwell on the circumstances that you were handed. I never met Olivia but from the stories I have heard from Kaily, and through the videos I have seen, it is clear that she was such a genuinely amazing girl that just wanted to leave the world a better place than when she entered it. In such a sad time, I hope you can take pride in knowing that Olivia has changed the lives of everyone that has seen her videos and that knows of her story. The fund that you have created will also help so many in the future, and continue to leave an amazing legacy behind for Olivia. My life will be forever changed by your courage Olivia.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Olivia personally, but my son, Charlie did, and only ever had wonderful things to say about her. I have known Carey, Michael and mostly the beautiful and sweet Jason, a friend to Harrison through primary school. You are a strong family. The way you have lived your lives and allowed Olivia to live hers these past couple of years has been truly awesome. I am so sorry you have been put to this test. I truly believe that your daughter's spirit will stay with so many. There is no explanation or comfort when a young, lovely child has to endure what your daughter did, but for what it is worth, you have the thoughts, support and prayers of so many in your corner, you have the inspiration of a spirit who did not stop or hide away she lived fully and out loud and I hope you will all find it in yourselves to do the same over time. I wish you peace and strength

Ten years ago, I had the pleasure of being Olivia's counsellor at BVG. In all my years at camp, I had never come across a camper with such a sweet nature and kind heart. The public impact she has made over the last few months is of no surprise; she truly left an impression on me at the innocent age of six. I still picture her contagious smile from time to time, ten years later. I was terribly saddened to hear of her illness, and only wish the best for her family during this difficult time. Her energy will continue to inspire others, as it did me. Sending my love.

Dear Wise family, I have wonderful, warm memories of your beautiful Olivia. When Maddie and Olivia were little girls at Crestwood Lower School, they both took part in the Fiddler on the Roof production. I had the pleasure of having Olivia over for dinner and then off to play rehearsal on many occasions. She was adorable, bubbly and kind. I knew back then that this little ball of fire was destined for greatness. It is no surprise that years later, Olivia has continued to be a role model and inspiration to countless people all over the world. I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss. I feel honored to have known her and I will always remember her with love and affection.

She was blessed to be a part of such a wonderful and loving family, please known that your family is in our thoughts and that the Jewish Community in Montreal mourns this tragic loss, of a remarkable, courageous, gifted and beautiful girl. May the memories of Olivia forever be a blessing, may she continue to be a hero and fighter for those who are suffering the same battles as she tragically faced.
