Hello and thank you for reading our story. Alayna Ertl is our daughter and a very loving sister. She was taken on August 20th 2016 from a coworker and what we then considered a "friend." She was taken from our home and her life was taken, she became our angel. She is our little peanut that loved to help others, loved her family and loved animals. She had a contagious smile and a big brown eyes.  She was taken to soon from earth, but she lives on with us by sharing her love. We have started the Sharing Alayna Ertl's Love Charity to help others. Alayna has helped us to live life fuller, enjoy the little things, become closer to God and teach us to be the best parents we can be. Share more love with your family and loved ones, live life in the eyes of a child.

​

Learn to enjoy life more. Relax, remembering that I am God with you. I crafted you with enormous capacity to know Me and enjoy My presence. When My people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, I am displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in Me, your ever-present Shepard. The more you focus on My Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify Me through your pleasure in Me. Thus you proclaim My presence to the watching world.  Matthew 1:23; John 10:10-11

Love : Matt and Kayla Ertl
