LAYLA MICHELLE-ANN RAINES, 15, of Jasonville, Indiana blessed this earth on August 16, 2001 in Linton, IN. She left to fly with the Angels at 1:47 p.m. Wednesday, May 31, 2017 in Regional Hospital, Terre Haute, IN. 

Layla was a girl that held a heart as big as the world and a smile that could light it. Layla quite simply loved love and she held every creature on this earth dear to heart. Layla was in awe of the beauty of this world and she took in every single second of it. She loved living and encouraged others to do the same. She is soaring above us now taking it all in.

Layla was a student at Shakamak High School where she was at the top of her class. She was involved in track, cross country and show choir.
