In Memory of Sweet Lillianna Valerrie Gates

Lexington, SC 07/28/2026 - On Friday the 24th, my 5 month old niece passed away very unexpectedly.

My brother and sister-in-law are broken and lost in planning for a funeral. They’ve made a GoFundMe for the funeral expenses.

Some have shared but it seems to not have reached the right level of support as no one has been able to donate. Needless to say, not very many people are fortunate to donate much, if any.

But a small amount from many people would help more than one would expect.

This is the GoFundMe link:

It is with a broken heart that I explain, my wife and I lost our 5 month old daughter on July 24th, 2026. It was abrupt and unexpected, we do not have the funds to be able to put our baby to rest.

Our baby, Lillianna Valerrie Gates was soooo loved, she was so happy, she was such an amazing child, she was so smart, she was advanced for her age at just 5 months old. Full of so much love and joy.

You will forever be missed by your mommy and daddy, your aunt Sydney and aunt BB, all your uncles and grandparents.

If you are able to donate, anything is very very much appreciated, if you aren’t able to donate at this moment, just sharing this would mean the world. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a great day.
