Kim Kardashian recently shared an emotional tribute to her childhood friend Lindsay May, who passed away in November 2024 after battling a rare form of cancer. Posted on Instagram on July 5, 2025, to mark what would have been May’s birthday, the tribute included a carousel of photos capturing moments with May and their close-knit “lifer” friend group, which includes Allison Statter, Simone Harouche, Sarah Meyer Michaelson, Ashley Kassan, and Zoe Winkler.
The group, who attended Marymount High School in Bel Air, California, together, often gathered at a lake, a tradition Kardashian described as May’s “happy place.” In her caption, Kardashian expressed profound grief, writing, “Nothing really captures how quiet and empty our lifers chat feels without you in it,” and noted the emotional weight of visiting the lake without May, saying, “We felt your absence this year in every sunset, every laugh, every quiet moment.”
She also highlighted a fundraiser started by Harouche, selling “The Linz” Citizens of Humanity jeans to support cancer research in May’s memory. The post received supportive comments from fans and celebrities, including Kourtney Kardashian, who wrote, “This made me cry. I love you,” and Paris Hilton, reflecting the impact of Kardashian’s heartfelt words.
