Sweetest Lara is in Heaven, but where is Heaven?

Please, remember you don't need to wait until you leave this Earth so you can be with her again. I know you can feel her ...

The way is in the heart."- Budha

To the REKHI family sorry for your loss may GOD give you his love, peace, and strength to get through this time of sorrow. It's hard to hear of a death but it's more harder when it's a child. May she R.I.P -|-

I only met this family briefly when my daughter was taking art classes in the neighborhood. My heart just sunk when I heard who this had happened to. What a tragedy. Our love and prayers go out to the entire Rekhi family.

My heart breaks for the loss of your beautiful, sweet, innocent child. She is my Grandson's age, and when I read she played t-ball, made my heart more heavy. My Grandson plays as well. Campbell little league, the Blasting Bats. May you find peace in her memories and those that loved her. Such a tragedy that words escape me. Bless you all, and know that the world mourns with you.

Lara,
I'm so sorry that you had to leave this world so young, but I know you were needed somewhere important. God or whoever or whatever created us needed you up in heaven. May you rest in peace and look after your family and friends as they go through this unbearable time of loss and grief. You will be sorely missed and always loved.

FIFTY TWO YEARS AGO OUR FOUR YEAR OLD SON SLIPPED OFF A DOCK WHEN WE WEREN'T LOOKING AND DROWNED. I SHARE THIS WITH OTHER PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A KID AND ARE IN DEEP DESPAIR THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY. LIKE LARA, DAVID WAS SPECIAL AND BOUND TO BE A SPECIAL PERSON. I TELL YOU THIS NOW, STILL WITH A BROKEN HEART, THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET, BUT TIME DOES HELP, AND HOW PRECIOUS AND SPECIAL IS YOUR OTHER CHILD. WHEN DAVID DIED I FELT THE DEEP NEED TO TALK TO ANYONE ELSE WHO HAD LOST A CHILD, WHO COULD TELL ME HOW TO COPE, AND DID THEY "GET OVER IT." I TELL YOU THIS, THAT KNOWING THAT YOU WON'T GET OVER IT, REALLY DOES HELP, KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET, OR LOSE AGAIN, THAT PRECIOUS CHILD; I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR LIVES, AND LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY WILL GO ON. CRY NOW, AND MAYBE OFTEN, BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE, AGAIN, TO LAUGH AND LOVE, AND CHERISH THE GIFTS FROM GOD YOU STILL HAVE.
GOOD NIGHT, LARA, AND GOOD NIGHT DAVID. I LOVE YOU.

I did not know Lara, but still there is pain and it hurts to know that such a young life is gone. The only comfort that I can think is that the Lord needed a six year old little girl by his side. My prayers to her family

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".
