Saying prayers for the family during this difficult time. I know where Layla is and I am comforted by the knowledge that she is with our Lord and free of pain. Heaven has gained such a sweet angel in this child and I will always draw strength from her, remembering her life here with us. She is a blessing to all of us who knew her.
Words can't express how much I will miss Layla, her sweet attitude, and precious smile. Even though she was in my classroom only a short time, she made an everlasting impression her classmates and me. She will be greatly missed. Just know you will be reunited with her someday in Heaven.The entire Tolar family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. We prayed so hard but Our Sweet Lord had other plans for sweet Layla Rose. She and you guys will always have a very special place in my heart. Continued love and prayers, be blessed
Sure thinking about all of you and keeping you close to my heart.
I am sorry for the loss of Layla. No one can say anything to make the hurt go away. I am praying for your strength in the coming days.
Prayers to your family from ours. Rest in peace sweet Layla!😇
I am so sorry for your loss. But, heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Everyone that knew Layla was blessed by her in some way. She showed me the amount of courage that even a small child could have. I will never forget that sweet, beautiful face of hers. I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers.
Frog and Charlotte,
I know there are no words to console you or make you hurt any less, just know that she is a special shinning star that you can look up in sky at night and say "there is Layla watching over us". Stephen will now have someone in heaven to watch out for.
All my love to your entire family

Prayers for your family during this hard time. May God give you all
peace. As someone once told me, death is a sad and hard time yet a happy and easy time as well. Meaning that it is sad because you lost your loved one but happy because they are in heaven. Hard but easy because you lost them physically but gained a new guardian angel who will remain with you in mind and spirit.
So Sorry for your loss. Prayers to your family from ours.
Our family has had many tragic losses over the years. We always seem to come together to support each other with our prayers and physical support. We are praying for you in this time. Remember that what scripture tells us:
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God has some good of intrinsic value in this loss, we may not know what it is now but we will some day.
Please let me know how I can help in this time. Your Cousin Mike.
Prayers for Strength and Peace for the entire family. We WILL see Ms. Layla Rose again! Whole and perfect. Much love!
May God bless your family in this time of sorrow. Look to the memories for comfort and the Lord for strength. Praying for you all.
There are no words to express how sorry I am for your family. I pray God carries you guys thru this hard time. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet angel.
Our deepest condolences,
The Crabb Family
May God hold you close and bring you peace and comfort as He welcomes Layla into His arms. Heaven has gained a very special angel. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all who were blessed to know her.. Mandy and Jim, we will keep you and your family in our prayers.
She is such a sweet little girl. I followed the articles in the newspapers about her. I know she earned her angel wings along time ago. I'm glad that she get's to use them now but saddened that she had to leave her family so soon. I'm praying for her family and friends at this time. So sad that such a beautiful little girl had to leave so soon.
My heart breaks with yours. She is now in Jesus arms and no longer in pain. Praying for your family.
Heaven has another angel.. Our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you during this difficult time of sorrow. May God place his comforting arms around you today and in the days to follow. We love you all and are lifting you up in prayer.
I am so sorry for your loss of Layla. She was an amazing little girl that made a difference in my life and so many others. My heart is broken at the thought of never seeing my sweet Layla again here on Earth. I guess God had bigger plans for her and needed her with him. I know there will be a day we will all see her again and that BIG smile she ALWAYS had on her face, but until then we can only remember all the good times and look forward to making more with her in heaven.
Charlotte and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven gained another sweet angel ! Keeping all of you in my prayers
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. May God's
peace fill your hearts knowing that heaven has received a beautiful angel..
