I am calling on you for support and prayers. A precious, precious family in our neighborhood lost their beautiful 21 year old daughter this morning.
Layla Nicole Ghabayen
Please understand this was not morning like 2 AM, this is like 7 AM. If I am not mistaken her grandmother was in the vehicle with her as well. She is stable.The thing is, this has affected my child in a way I could NEVER imagine. I have held off telling her, posting here, or on facebook because one, I dreaded it so and two, I had been told that the other children did not know yet.
The Princess is friends with one of Layla's sisters. Layla was always at our neighborhood pool during the summer and often with her sister that the Princess played with. So the Princess knew Layla well. She is still crying in her bed and truth be told so am I. Which is why I am not still holding her. I don't want her to see me upset. I knew Layla. I know her Mom, the family for almost 4 years. I drove Layla's sister to brownies with us. I cannot imagine the HORROR this family is going through. They need your prayers!

How horrible. I can't imagine either what this family is going through and certainly...they have the prayers of my household...as does your own family for the loss you are feeling too.
So very Sad. They are in my prayers.
Hi! I am a friend of Layla's and I was having a hard time trying to find out where the funeral will be held. I know I already missed the viewing today but I would like to be able to go see her one last time. I would appreciate it if you could post the name of the church the funeral will be held. Thanks!
Thank you all for your prayers and concern
