She will never be forgotten."She revealed Olivia had been born six weeks early and spent nine days in a special baby unit - but was an independent soul from the moment she entered the world.She said: "She was so small yet even as a newborn she had her own mind."Although she loved sparkle and glitz she would never go overboard and she was very particular, even down to her socks."She added: "Olivia was very chatty and bubbly and would talk for England, to the point we thought she had Duracell batteries inside her somewhere."Addressing Olivia herself, she finished the touching address by saying: "I will never say goodbye but what I will say is goodnight, love you, see you in the morning."The family requested that grieving attendees wear a splash of pink in memory of the youngster, while pupils at Olivia's school next door, St Margaret Mary’s Junior School, will also wear the colour, LancsLive reports.The colour scheme was inspired by a day when Olivia came into school wearing pink nail polish and hid her hands all day in an attempt to get away with breaking her uniform rules.Headteacher of the school Rebecca Wilkinson said: “We were mindful of the fact that the children had to take some sort of role today, in spite of the fact that they’re not going to the church."We have got pink hearts in the windows facing the main road, we have got pink ribbons on the fence."Olivia was killed when she was shot in her home in Dovecot, Liverpool, at about 10pm on 22 August.A.
