I'm still trying to wrap my mind around reality. I have a plethora of memories and I enjoyed the times we were together laughing, joking, being silly, shopping, brunch Saturday's, going to the beach, your birthday party, my birthday party, comedy shows, and more........ ♡♡♡Lynette will truly be missed ♡♡♡

My sweet, sweet friend! I thought we would have time to reconnect again. I hate I put off setting times for us to meet and talk about old times. I will forever love you and will forever be my little sis! Love you

Growing up with Nette was the highlight of my childhood. Every time I think of stuff we did, most of all we was always laughing about something. Those were the best summers at Grannies house. I’m truly going to miss her. My heart breaks knowing that a piece of has left this world.
To Nette’s young ladies, I pray that God’s peace rest upon your broken hearts and that as time goes on your memories will be there to comfort and guide you. My heartfelt sympathy to all the family.
