Layla loved to sing karaoke, skateboard, watch movies, and hang out with her friends and family.  She loved making people laugh and was known to steal other people’s phones to take silly photos.  She enjoyed doing gymnastics and playing volleyball.  Layla was bubbly, smart, and always smiling.  She was great with little kids and would play with the younger siblings of her friends when visiting their home.
