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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
