The Archbishop of Liverpool said Olivia Pratt-Korbel "continues to live not just in our minds and hearts but in the heart of God."
Hundreds of people attended Olivia's funeral at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Church in Knotty Ash this morning as mourners wore pink in her memory. The service started with a eulogy read out by Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel, and ended with a rendition of Amazing Grace.
In his homily, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon said "it is to Olivia's friends that we turn for a glimmer of hope" in the darkness of her death.
