I was taken aback by the news of Lynette's passing. May there be some comfort and peace in due time for the family. I was privileged to work with Lynette at Cartus. She was a wonderful team member, leader, and mentor to many. Above all she was an even better person all the way around. I, along with so many, will remmebr her fondly.

Tim, Natalie and Zach,
I just read a tribute to Lynette on FB. It was beautiful but shocked to learn of Lynette's passing. Heartbreaking. I met Lynette at Fredonia and she made a lasting impression! We shared a suite senior year - how lucky was I? She was warm, funny, witty and just a joy to be around. And will always be in my heart.
My thoughts and prayers will be with your family!

I went to high school with Lynette and also went to college near her upstate. I have such great memories of her exuberance and laugh and thought of her often. Even though I moved to CA in 78 and saw her few times after, I continued to have fond memories of our fun times and loved watching her posts on FB. I am beyond sad for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers.

I met Lynette at CB and we stayed in touch for many years later since we would see each other around town. We would always love to catch up on what our families were doing.

Lynette was a wonderful colleague and friend. I loved her no-nonsense dedication to her work. No one could get a meeting room full of people back on track like Lynette. But I will especially miss her kind words and thoughts. She has on several occasions lifted my spirits on down days and I will always remember her for her thoughtfulness. We will miss you, Lynette.
