Fun times visiting Lynette. She introduced me to Jason and Jade, who were very welcoming and friendly. We went to Cinzetti’s for dinner, played games and watched a few movies in Jason’s basement.

After my family moved to Chicago in 2011, I saw Lynette less. I was able to visit her a few times throughout the years. It was a great trip. Every time we were together it was always a fun time. She never failed to light up a room when she would introduced me to her friends.

Lynette and I matched through Big Brothers and Big Sisters when I was in elementary school, around 2006. Lynette and I bonded over many years. She was a role model and a wonderful person to look up to as I was growing up. I’ll never forget her kind, fun, loving atmosphere. She was always patient and understanding. I love you Lynette, we will all miss you.

Lynette possessed so many beautiful traits.  Most of all, she embodied sunshine, love, and happiness.

I will miss her forever, but I will always remember the good times, and try to live by her example:  Tender, forgiving, understanding, caring, the list goes on...

I will love her forever and will always be blessed by having had her in my life.

L with her "Little Sister" Gigi, and my daughter Jade.

Lynette was not only a beautiful woman, but a lover of animals :)

Condolences during your time of loss. Lynette was always such an amazing, sweet person with a beautiful smile.  In school, she was always nice when not everyone was.  I counted her among my friends, even though I had not seen her in over 30 years. I'm so sad to hear this news. Rest in peace, my friend <3

To the Family & Friends of “LT” as I often called her, I offer my sincerest condolences. Please have comfort in knowing that the sun ALLways shines and will shine even brighter, after the rain.

I had the esteemed pleasure of working remotely with this genius during her Bridgefield days. To sum it up, as one of my colleagues put it, Lynette could make you feel like a million bucks even if you only had $2 in your pocket. She was such a shining star and she helped others shine right along with her.  It was almost impossible not to smile or laugh around her. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our conference calls even when she had to professionally “tell me like it is!”  I never was lucky enough to meet her in person but her charm, charisma and personality made me feel like I had known her for years and we kept in contact long after our employers changed. What gives me comfort during this time of bereavement is that I took the opportunity to tell her many of the exceptional things you are reading now and how especially special she was and will always be.  She was an angel on earth whose smile I will admit was even bigger and brighter than mine. I was so blessed to befriend her and very fortunate God allowed our paths to cross. I love you “LT” and thank you for simply being YOU!

With Deepest Sympathy,

I am deeply sorry to hear about Lynette’s passing. As I’ve been looking through photos and reminiscing, I keep coming back to the sound of her laugh and the joy she brought to everyone around her. She had such a light spirit and a way of always making moments fun, no matter the situation.

Lynette touched so many lives with her warmth and kindness, and she will be truly missed. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories you shared with her.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Jessica Magee

This photo was taken quite a while ago while I was working at MetLife and Lynette was working at PNC/Midland.  MetLife had a conference in Overland Park, KS because MetLife had an office there.  We used PNC/Midland for our loan portfolio services and since we were going to be in Overland Park for the conference, we met up.  I worked with her extensively although I am in Memphis. 
When we had a job opening at MetLife, I recommended her for our Overland Park office and we continued working together.  One day she sent a Starbucks gift card to me at our MetLife office in Memphis.  She was thanking me for our friendship.  I am devastated over this news.  That is me in the middle and of course Lynette on the left.

Lynette had the biggest smile and such a fun laugh!  I am so sorry that she let her family and friends on Earth but I know she is in the arms of Jesus and flying with the angels!
