It is with shattered hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kailey Lightner of Portland, Michigan. Kailey, known for her vibrant spirit and infectious laughter, was a bright spark in the lives of everyone who knew her.
Her warmth and kindness radiated through her interactions, leaving a lasting impact on friends, family, and even acquaintances. Whether it was her contagious smile or her ability to listen and offer comfort, Kailey had a unique gift for making people feel valued and cherished.
Her untimely departure has left a deep void in the hearts of those who loved her. Kailey was not just a daughter, sister, and friend; she was a beacon of light in her community. She brought joy and positivity to every room she entered, and her absence is felt profoundly by all. The memories of her laughter, her compassion, and her unwavering support will forever be etched in our hearts.
In this incredibly difficult time, it’s essential for us to rally together to support the Lightner family. The loss of Kailey was completely unexpected, and the emotional burden is compounded by the financial strain that comes with arranging funeral and memorial services. We recognize that during moments of grief, families often face unforeseen challenges, and it is our turn to step in and lend our support.
To honor Kailey’s memory and to help ease the burden on her family, we are initiating a fundraising campaign to cover the costs associated with her funeral and memorial services.
Our goal is to provide Paul and Victoria Lightner with the financial assistance they need to focus on what truly matters—celebrating the life of their beloved daughter and finding solace in the support of their community. Every dollar raised will go directly to them, allowing them to navigate this heartbreaking journey without the added stress of financial concerns.
This campaign is more than just a fundraising effort; it is a testament to the love and connection we all shared with Kailey. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact one individual can have on the lives of many. By coming together, we can show the Lightner family that they are not alone in their grief. We stand united, ready to support them in any way we can.
As we reflect on Kailey’s life, let us remember the joy she brought into our lives. Let’s share our stories, our laughter, and our memories of her. Each shared memory is a tribute to the vibrant person she was, and a way to keep her spirit alive.
We encourage everyone who knew Kailey to share their stories and express their love for her, whether through social media, in person, or at the memorial service. This outpouring of love and support can provide some comfort to her family as they navigate the difficult days ahead.
