“Mommy is rocking Layla. She has only opened her eyes once today. Her feet are getting cold too.” on March 8th at 11:17 a.m.

A few hours later:

“Please continue 2 pray for peace for Layla. Her dad is in her room right now talking to her & comforting her. She is not doing well at all.” on March 8th at 3:00 p.m.

Very tragically today, her parents tweeted early this morning:

“Layla went to play with the angels early this morning. Rest in peace precious Layla. 11/26/2007 – 3/9/2010″
