Laney has been put to rest. Her service was the most heartbreaking and most beautiful tribute to a little girl who will be missed for ever and ever. I am so proud of her wonderful parents for all they have done for this child of theirs, for this grand daughter of ours.

Brian and Laura,

We have been heartsick since we first learned of Laney's illness, and we know there are no words that can remedy the pain of your loss. She was a beautiful little girl, inside and out, and we feel privileged to have known her. Please know that she and you are in our thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy, Carl and Jen.

I have no idea what to write. So here it goes:
I lost my mother six years ago and it was aweful. My baby (Matthew) was only 13 days old. I was not sure how I would get through the pain or the thought of her not being here any more.
Everyday I would wake up and want to call her. Tell her what I did that day or just to hear her voice. Even though I can't call her on the phone or see her with my babies- I feel her spirit all the time. I see her face in Matthew's smile. And I feel her love with John's compassion.
Your wonderful daughter, Laney, has touched my hearts and families. Her spirit, her laugh, and love will continue years from now. You will find a daisy growing through the concrete and think of Laney. You will see a ray of sunshine on a dark cloudy day and think of Laney.
I pray for peace for your family and only wish you all the best.
We love you.
The Noll Family

Like so many others, we never met Laney, but feel so close to her and to you. She touched so many lives in her short four years. Her ups and her downs were shared around the world, with prayers lifted up fo her and you, her family. With tear filled eyes, our hearts continue to go out to you.

So sorry for your loss. We did not know your family personally. We met your daughter by way of requested prayers for her submitted by Jake Coy. He has kept us posted as to your daughter's condition for several months now. Our hearts are also burdened by your loss. May God keep and bless you during this difficult time in your lives!
Sincerely,
Chaplain Sally and Fred Michaud

No words can adequately express my sadness in hearing of Laney's first strokes until her passing away. You gave birth to an angel. My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences are with you and your family during this very painful, difficult time. With deepest sympathy,

Brian & Laura,

I am so sorry for your loss, I never knew Laney, but I could tell from the pictures on Facebook that she was full of joy every day. I hope that you find comfort in the memories that you shared with her and that God is not allowing her to suffer anymore.
Brian, I know we met through Reid, and don't know each other well, but your uplifting and fun attitude is something I've remembered from Reid's bachelor party and wedding. Please know that I am praying for your family. God is with you, your family and friends are with you also...you are not in this walk alone.

Deepest Sympathies,

Mark Halvorson

Hello,

I'm a friend of Maraya Slaff, we met through MOPS. She asked our group to pray for Laney, and ever since I heard the story I have thought so often of Laney. I have a little girl the exact same age as Laney and I kept imagining how we would feel if we were in your situation. I've asked many times for Laney updates and have held onto hope that she could be your bubbly little girl again one day. I can only imagine how heartbroken you are right now. I cried for you just now- and I don't even know you- but I know what it's like to love a little girl so deeply. I'm so sad this happened to your family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Sincerely,
Stefanie Williams

¬I want to express my sincere s¬¬¬ympathy for the loss of your loved one and share the hope promised in the Bible.
Jesus promised that “those in the memorial tombs will…come out.” (John 5:28, 29)
In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43)This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans.
The Bible says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalms 37:29)
