“We are praying for him, we believe in a God of justice, grace and mercy,” said April Carter, sister of Allison Oliver.
Carter tells News Center 7′s Mike Campbell the family is trying to focus less on the crash that took Oliver’s life and more on their love for her instead.

“We would love to have more time for her and more time with her but she lived a full life, left nothing,” Carter said. “We look back and think, she didn’t waste her time but she lived a full life, left nothing on the table,” Carter said.
Oliver graduated from Meadowdale High School and college. She worked in a local government job where her focus was on helping other people in need, including organizing relief efforts following the 2019 Memorial Day Tornadoes, according to family members.
