Lainey touched so many lives during her short life with us. She had so many people lifting her in prayer in hopes she would get better and come home to us. We will all forever have a huge hole in our hearts. She was a ray of sunshine. Her smile, her beautiful eyes, her will to fight and get better each time something went wrong - she was our little fighter and gave us all hope. Lainey - we will always talk about you and share your story and keep your memory alive - forever!

Lainey’s beautiful spirit and gorgeous smile lit up our world. She was small, but mighty and her strength and fight were admired by all who were lucky enough to know her. Though she may not be here with us, she will be carried in our hearts forever and remembered for the remarkable and feisty little girl she was.
Much love,

Michaela and Dave,
Our hearts break for you. Your Lainey was one special soul who was with us here on earth for too short a time. In her short life, she touched so many hearts. I had people I work with fall in love with her. Her smile made them smile. She had a special, special spirit.
We fell in love with her smile, her spunk, her fighting spirit. Lainey will always be in our hearts.
Michaela, I love you and we are deeply sorry for your loss. Dave, you have our deepest sympathies.

Michaela and Dave,
Bringing little Lainey into the world forever altered your hearts. My heart breaks for you both in that she can’t physically be here with you, but I know she has wrapped herself around both of your hearts now where she is at peace so that you will never have to feel this world without her. Thank you for sharing your sweet girl with us all. She taught us all to have hope as she defied so much, and showed us how not to give up. You remain in our thoughts and we love you. xo, Jodi, Scott and Reagan

Lainey bug, I am going to miss you so much. No matter what you were doing that day you always had so much fight. You managed to make everyone who entered your room to smile. While you were our little peanut your personality was anything but little. From giving mom the biggest smiles to giving the doctors the biggest side eye you made it clear how you were feeling. You will always be my favorite patient. Thank you for letting me get to take care of you and meet your amazing parents.
Michaela and Dave - thank you for letting me get to care for Lainey. You both are the strongest parents I have met. Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You showed little Lainey loo so much love.
Love you guys,

Lainey Lou will forever be one of my favorite patients. She was the sassiest and sweetest little girl and constantly left us on our toes. I’m so thankful for our silly times together, like getting dressed and ready for the day at midnight. Or her witching hour from 4-6 when she would be wide awake and hanging out. I am also forever grateful for Lainey for introducing me to her amazing and loving parents Dave and Michaela. Truly some of the most wonderful people I have ever met and a constant loving advocate for Lainey. She sure was a lucky girl to have those parents. Although her time was short and I will always wish for more, she truly is the most beautiful guardian angel watching over all of us. Forever missing you Lainey lou❤️

My sweet Lainey girl. I am so lucky to have been a part of her journey and have the ability to care for her and your family. She taught me so much in such a short time, but I will forever remember her as a strong, beautiful girl with the perfect amount of sass. One day in particular she decided to make me work a little harder and keep up with her sassy self, but I am so glad I was the one taking care of her that day.
Mom and Dad, you two are some of the strongest parents I've met and the most down-to-earth people. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily, I will forever cherish time spent with you and your family.
Love always,

Dearest Lainey,
Thank you so much for the pleasure and honor of "knowing" you and sharing in your amazing journey! Like so many others I never met you in the physical, but everyday I came to know your beautiful, courageous, powerful soul and the beloved family you chose to walk your path with. Everyday I waited with bated breath to hear of your accomplishments, trials, setbacks and triumphs. And everyday I was overwhelmed and in awe of you! In awe of YOU and your family! You may have only been here on earth for a very short while, but YOU and your family inspired us all for the rest of our lives! You chose wisely,
Love, Light and prayers always.

Dear Miss Lainey,
In the short time I knew you, you made a huge impact on me. I learned so much from our interactions that will I will carry with me, and because of you I have an interest in working in pediatrics. I always looked forward to seeing what kind of bow you were wearing each week I was on 12F. Your strength and resilience was a direct reflection of your mother's. I pray your family finds peace and comfort in your memory during this difficult time without you here.
Rest in peace, sweet girl.

Miss Lainey never failed to bring a smile to my face. My favorite drama queen and princess of the PICU will be missed dearly. Michaela and Dave thank you for bringing this strong willed baby girl into the world and becoming part of the 12f family. The McClenon room was always my favorite and fostered a loving and open atmosphere. Lainey bug will be in my thoughts and prayers; hoping she is peacefully sleeping with her bow over her eyes. Rest in peace little chicken.

Little Miss Lainey Lou was the cutest little babe on 12F. I will always remember her big blue eyes and how her headband would fall down on her eyes while she was sleeping & how that made her content. She was very loved by everyone in the PICU. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss our little Lainey girl.

Lainey stole a piece of everyone’s heart the moment those big blue eyes landed on them. Whether she had a sweet day or a sour one, you could always find her with a cute bow, sometimes a smirk and with mom and dad right by her side. It was such an honor and privilege to be able to care for and spend time with Lainey for the time she was with us. She radiated love off of her to anyone lucky enough be around her and could always gives us a good laugh. With a flair for the dramatics, you never doubted exactly how she felt about something. I will always hold a special place in my heart for miss Lainey girl and the incredible McClennon family.

Lainey girl I am honored to have been able to care for you. You have a very special place in my heart. You were the sweetest babe and drama queen of the PICU. You touched so many hearts and brightened our days. I’ll miss being able to walk in and see your bright blue eyes, little smile and fists in the air. Thanks to you, I was able to meet your amazing parents. I know you’ll watch over them and I’m sure you’ll manage to still keep them on their toes in one way or another ❤️
Michaela and Dave- I am incredibly sorry for your loss. You are the strongest parents and your love for Lainey is unconditional. You will always be apart of our 12F family. Thank you for letting me care for your baby girl. Sending you so much love and strength.

We loved that little girl with all our hearts and would have done anything to save her. We will think of her every day of our lives and know we are here for both of you if there is anything we can do. Even though it doesn't make it easier, we know she is no longer suffering. You have all been through so much. It's hard to know why! We were so blessed to meet her and hold her during her short time at home. We will treasure those memories. We love you both and will love Lainey always. All Our Love, Grandma and Grandpa Emerson

Oh Lainey boo how I miss you, you have taught us all what it is to love and to fight with your tiny heart and your tiny fists you showed us all how strong a mended heart can be. It is always hard for me to be openly close to another heart warrior because your fight is my fight but know how much I miss you and pray for you all. Nothing will make you stronger than your everlasting love for your girl. Her drama and sass left a lasting impression I will never forget. Lots of love and prayers

Lainey babe, we will miss you more than we could ever express. You gave Uncle Sam and I so much joy in the short time you were here, even if it was a quick FaceTime chat. I loved ever morning picture your daddy or mommy sent to us. Your cousins both looked forward to doing so much with you, between riding 4 wheelers and showing you how to do some sort of redneck boy thing, they both were so ready to be cousins and protectors.
We will miss you forever and think of you often. We will do our very best to keep your lively spirit and force to remain and to remind everyone in the family that if it’s a fight worth fighting to never give up, just like you did, Every. Single. Day. You never gave up, you always had the ability, that resilience, something you get from both your parents.
Sweet girl, I love you and will continue to be stoic because that’s what we do as McClenon ladies.
May you forever be at peace and until you can run up and greet me with the rest of our family up in Heaven remind us down here that you’re soul is at peace and of your ever so big presence is still here.
Love always,
Aunt Toria, Uncle Sam, Braxton, Ryker

Read at Lainey’s Service.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump on your throat, and that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
The day after Lainey passed this quote popped up on my phone and put the meaning of grief into a different perspective than I once felt. It made the meaning of grief feel like it can be just as beautiful as it is heartbreaking, as difficult as that is to wrap my head around.
Beautiful that we have someone so special in our life to have so much love for, but so heartbreaking that it now builds up as gallons of tears and pain in our hearts because we cannot shower her in all the love she so much deserved. She made it so easy to love her.
Becoming an Aunt is something I’ve always dreamed of. M and Doe are so special to my girls and I was so excited to be one of those people in Lainey’s life. I couldn’t wait for the girls to want to spend every weekend together, to raise our girls with my sister, and while it hurts knowing our reality is different now I will forever feel grateful that she was made for our families - and that this life picked me to be one of her Aunts.
There are so many unanswered questions, whys, what ifs, but I have to believe Laineys purpose during her short time here was to put a bright light inside us all. Her eyes that melted us, her smile that made you laugh, her fight, her strength. She made such an impact during her time here. The only thing we can do now is keep her light shining bright. Keep talking about her, and your memories of her, and live like Lainey; Stay strong when things get hard. Keep fighting when you feel like life is 5 steps forward and 10 steps back, be dramatic every once in awhile in true Lainey fashion, and lastly, keep wrapping Michaela and Dave in love all while keeping them on their toes, as that’s just what Lainey did each and every day.
I’ll love you forever and a day, Lainey Lou, until I see you again.

Read at Lainey's service. My beautiful little Lainey Annalyn. Gigi wishes she had your strength to stand up and say what I want to say, but your Gigi is so sad and so heartbroken. There is nothing more I wish for than to walk in Golisano Children’s Hospital, get on the elevator to the 12th floor and walk down the halls to your room. I would do anything to caress your little head again while singing You Are My Sunshine and Rock A-Bye Baby to you, to help you sleep or ease your pain. I would do anything to see your big smile with all those dimples or have you hold my finger so tight. You were so strong! I would do anything to see those beautiful big blue eyes look up at me again. I would do anything to go back in time when you were doing so good. I was so blessed to spend those weeks with you and your Mommy, by your bedside, through good days and bad. You were the strongest little girl I have every known, and you fought with all your might to stay with us.
You were loved beyond words by family, friends, and even strangers we didn’t know. You were lifted in prayer by people and in churches all around the world. Everyone was amazed by your spirit and fight. You were our warrior. You gave us all strength and hope and taught us that if you could do it, so could we!
I have to say how proud I am of your Mommy and Daddy! They didn’t leave your side for four months. Their love for you was and is unconditional and is the strongest love I’ve ever seen. They fought and advocated for you every single day and did everything they could to keep you with us. They had an amazing relationship with the doctors, nurses and staff at each hospital, but mainly at Upstate where they were like family. The nurses fought over who was going to have you each day and night. They all loved you so much. You were not only our princess, but the little princess of the PICU floor. The motto was It’s Lainey’s Way, or No Way! You had them all wrapped around their little fingers.
The pain and heartache we are all feeling shows just how much love you brought into this world in such a short time. As a dear friend said to me, your amazing, beautiful, courageous, powerful soul will live on in our hearts forever. People say that time will heal this grief we are feeling, but with the size of the hole in my heart, I truly do not believe I will ever heal! “Our arms are empty, but our hearts are full of the love you left behind”. I love and miss you my beautiful little Lainey Bug!
All My Love, Gigi
In closing, I ask that you continue to pray for Michaela, David and our families. Mike and I are not only grieving the loss of our dear little Lainey, but we also grieve watching our children suffering the loss of their sweet little girl they wanted so badly.

Our hearts are broken for the loss of this precious little child. The visits we had at the hospital were few and far between, but just being able to be with Lainey at those times will be memories we will cherish forever. Lainey was the strongest little fighter we have ever witnessed. No adult could have endured what Lainey went through in her short time with us. People ask why God didn’t answer prayers, but He did. He stopped her suffering and took her in His arms and made her whole again. We all look forward to the day we see her again in heaven.
Love you with all our hearts little Lainey.
