She and Olyvia’s stepdad Tony have travelled from Japan to Bali to bring their baby home. 

‘My twinkle. My baby. My angel. I’ll miss you forever. What a smile, you are someone who lights up the world. It’s hard for me to fathom on days – Jesus chose me my Olyvia Te’a, he chose me’ to be your Mum!’ Ms Blakelock wrote.

‘You’ll never be loved more. My love for you my dove is beyond anything you’ll ever understand. I need to see your calls and messages again. I can’t imagine life without you.’

She described her daughter as her princess and twinkle in every star.

‘I’m broken. I now know the pain I never expected to EVER experience. My girl will Reign in my heart forever,’ Ms Blakelock wrote.

‘Darling my heart does not know what to do…I ache! Miss you like no tomorrow. Oh my baby girl, to hold You again is all I long to do.’

She recalled in another tribute post how Olyvia used to twinkle her ears, which was their special thing and never sleep apart from her.

‘There was nothing else I wanted more than to be a mum, my job was to be a mum, and nothing else mattered.’

One of Olyvia’s mother’s closest friends Tanya Pohio revealed her parents had travelled from Japan to Bali to bring her home to Australia. 

‘It is with such a broken heart that I share this. Olyvia – light and love gone too soon. She is the beautiful daughter of one of my best friends Christina. Made so much more tragic in that she passed away in Bali,’ she wrote.

Ms Pohio, who has been friends with Olyvia’s mum for 38 years has set up an online fundraiser in New Zealand to assist with repatriation, travel and funeral costs. 

‘She always brought light and love wherever she went. Her smile would light up the room,’ she wrote.

‘Daughter, sister, aunty, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend and so much more.’

‘The costs of this should not have to be a burden on top of their grieving and brokenness. Let’s do what we can to support this beautiful family.’
