In Memory of…

Layla Grace Marsh

November 26, 2007 – March 3, 2010

My heart is breaking today as the news of Layla Grace’s passing has made it’s way through the interwebz.  #RIPLaylaGrace is a trending topic on Twitter, proof positive of the many people that she has touched and inspired in her short 2 years of life. 2 YEARS. 27 MONTHS. Too short.

When a child dies it’s hard to come up with the right things to say.  When it’s the child of a friend it becomes even harder.  There are no words.  I’m still trying to comprehend it all, I can’t even begin to imagine what the family is going through.

What I do know is that I am praying for strength and understanding and guidance for my friend Shanna, her husband Ryan and their daughters Jenna & Claire.  No parent should ever have to stand by helpless as their child dies.  It’s not fair.  It’s just NOT FAIR!!!

Rest in Peace sweet angel girl.
You are loved by many and will be missed by the WORLD!

I thought of you a little while ago when I first heard the news that Layla Grace had passed away. You were the one who first introduced me to their story. I’m so sorry for your friend. I cried when I saw their last tweet. The world just makes no sense sometimes.

Big hugs to you, my friend. xoxo

She has made me see blue skies and storm clouds in new ways. I so wished for a different ending.

I am a complete stranger but ran across your blog today as I am one of the thousands who fell in love with Layla. Praying for the Marsh family today. I ran across a beautiful video that someone had made of Layla’s life. Maybe you have seen it but wanted to share. It is beautiful. Here is the link:
