Mother hoping to spare others her heartbreak
BY JORGE BARRIENTOS, Californian staff writer
Olivia Corinne Hoff had a good heart, her family and friends share.
It was a heart that led her to befriend the new girl in school who ate alone during lunch and the disabled student others made fun of. It was a heart that said "I love you" at just the right time.
That heart, however, gave out suddenly six years ago -- at age 14. Olivia died in her sleep of sudden cardiac arrest.
