Rest in Peace, Olivia. Prayers to your kids and their futures.

Olivia Renee Diggs was trying to turn her life around.

The mother of three was on disability and bounced from homeless shelter to homeless shelter trying to keep a roof over her children's heads.

But friends say she recently had become a devout Christian and started down a new path she felt made her stronger in her fight against past drug addictions.

DeShazo also said she worried about Diggs becoming depressed because it was hard for her to find a stable home. She also feared she might be hanging out with the wrong people

"I remember warning her last time we talked, but she said 'you don't worry about me girl, I know how to handle my businesses. I'll be good,'" DeShazo said. "...You meet a lot of bad people in those places, but I know she felt safe at the church shelter."
