Reality star shares heartfelt message and memories from their beloved lake trip
Kim Kardashian was overcome with emotion as she remembered her late childhood friend, Lindsay May Palevsky, on what would have been her birthday. Palevsky, a beloved member of Kardashian’s inner circle known as the “Lifers,” passed away in November after bravely battling a rare form of cancer.
The SKIMS founder took to Instagram over the weekend to pay tribute to Lindsay, sharing photos from their cherished lake trip — a long-standing tradition among their close-knit group of friends. Despite Lindsay’s passing, Kim revealed that the group still honored their annual getaway, though her absence was deeply felt.
“It was just your birthday and I know you never liked to make a big deal of it, but Happy Heavenly Birthday, Lindz,” Kim wrote.
The emotional message continued, highlighting the deep bond the two shared and the irreplaceable void left behind.
“Nothing really captures how quiet and empty our Lifers chat feels without you in it… I couldn’t go through this lake trip without feeling you everywhere, and I needed to share it,” she added.
“The lake was your happy place. It made you feel lighter, healthier … you were you.”
Kim also noted how special the lake tradition had been for the group — especially for their kids — as it provided uninterrupted time together away from the spotlight.
“We felt your absence this year in every sunset, every laugh, every quiet moment… I feel so grateful for all the memories we made. We miss you so f****** much, Lindz. Our world is not the same without you.”
Though Palevsky stayed away from the public eye and social media, her impact on Kim and their circle was profound. Kardashian ended her tribute with a promise — that Lindsay’s memory would live on each year during their lake retreats.
