Christie’s Story

Site created on November 14, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

There has been a tragic plane crash on Beaver Island Saturday afternoon. Mike did not survive the accident. Laney is miraculously, the sole survivor of the plane crash.

Laney was airlifted to Petoskey and then transported to Devos in Grand Rapids via ambulance. She is alert and talking and was able to tell them her moms name and phone number. She is being a trooper and so strong. There are many broken bones and injuries but most of them are ones that are going to heal on their own, another miracle!

So many people have reached out and offered to help. At this time there isn’t anything else that is needed other than prayers. This page will be updated with needs and Laney’s progress.

Christie has asked for no visitors at the house at this time. Her mom, sister and family will all be here today.
