I just found out about Layla passing today. All of these years I wondered what you were doing, what you looked like, how proud your grandma is of you, how much I miss so many different aspects of the Layla stories I heard daily. Monica, I truly am so sorry for this huge loss in yours, Gerry, and whole family’s lives. Had I known I would have been there for you. I pray that time has healed some of the pain and cherished memories keep that beautiful smile on your face. All my best, Rebecca

My Sweet Angel from above. Some time has passed and I still miss you just as much if not more. I still see your smile, hear your laugh and voice. You have taught me more in your short stay than a lot of people I have known for years. I no longer sweat the small stuff because you have shown me life is for living and being happy is a choice. Every time I look to the heavens and look up to the clouds or to the stars I know you are looking down on me. Love you Layla Love you to the Moon and Back. I thank God for allowing me to have you in my life. Grandma Theresa

My Angel from above, some time has passed but I still and always will miss you. I still see your smiling face, hear the excitement in your voice. When I have a trying day I think of the joy you brought to me. I don't allow anyone to visit the small stuff on me because you have taught me that life is for the living and being happy is a choice. I thank God for allowing me to have you although so short. Love You GrandMa Theresa

Lil Layla, may you have a lifetime of joy, fun and laughter with all of God's little angels in heaven. I hope this thought gives a bit of comfort to the Harmon and Jones families. I love you all.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to meet this precious gift to the world, named Layla. The selfish part of me wishes that she were here and feels like I'm missing out on witnessing the amazing woman Layla would be; but then I remind myself that Layla has achieved what my entire life is aimed towards, seeing our Lord and Savior face-to-face. She is where God needs her to be and I find comfort and joy knowing that she is in the ultimate paradise and one day, when God is ready for me to come home, I will see my beautiful niece again.
I know that no words can fully express how any of us feel about this tragedy, but if we work together as family to put God first, not just in our family unit but in our individual lives, we can honor Layla's memory and spirit in the best way possible.

"To You, O Lord,
we humbly entrust this child,
so precious in Your sight.
Take Her into Your arms
and welcome Her into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow,
no weeping nor pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with Your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen."
