What a Celebration!

I flew down to Houston for Layla Grace's Celebration of Life service and I'm so glad I did...for so many reasons. Everything about the service was beautiful...so many tears shed and many reasons to smile. I am forever grateful to my Queen friends for joining me. Our shared tears for Layla Grace has brought us even closer. The songs were phenomenal, especially the one sang by Matthew West, who flew in from Tennessee at the family's request to sing his inspiring song..."Save A Place For Me". Watch, listen and be moved...

The service ended with an extraordinary balloon release while "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" played in the background. As I looked up to Heaven watching the pink and purple balloons float away, I was thinking of Layla Grace being all perfect again! I am and will continue to be in awe of Shanna and Ryan Marsh. I had to hug them both knowing that they are the incredible parents of the little girl we have come to know, love and honor. Ryan Marsh spoke of his baby girl at the service, and I want to pass along to you his message..."What tools will you use in this life to touch or impact other's lives?" Definitely a compelling question knowing that his Layla Grace has changed the world for the better! Don't you know that Layla Grace was smiling down from Heaven...and, she is "saving a place" for us!
