Lay Lay was a beautiful, young woman who loved others because she was in love with Christ. It was evident in every area of her life. I was privileged to watch her grow from a 10-year-old girl into a beautiful, young woman. Lay Lay was a special gift. She was a fiery and feisty one when there was a ball involved; she was kind, compassionate and giving where there was a life involved. She was everyone's best friend; every parent's daughter; and everyone's sister. It was just they way it was with her. Jesus had captured her life and He shined through her to everyone.
Lay Lay, I will miss you. I remember our last conversation on Friday, September 6. You were excited (in that signature monotone voice of yours) about your nursing school assignments. You hugged me like you always did (and like you hugged everyone else you knew) and your eyes sparkled. Thanks for shining Christ's light through your life.
We will take care of your parents and your brothers and sisters. In fact, Jesus already is in amazing ways. He is good at that. Enjoy our Savior. I am a little jealous about that but rest well in him young lady.
Thanks for loving. You have taught many how to love well through your example.
Thank you God for a beautiful life in which you have revealed more of Yourself to us. So long Lay Lay. See you soon and I'm counting on that hug.
