I am so sorry that I did not know about this. My heart is crushed and wonder why but we can't question God. She was always nice to me, and we would get food from the grill in between school and games. Also was great with the band and practices. Truely a GEM in my eyes. So sorry and apologies for my absence. Jamie Stone

Condolences and Heartfelt Prayers to Lynette's parents and family..so saddened to just hear of Nette's passing..I first met Lynette when we both worked at Walmart, we instantly connected, she was so sweet and kind. We lost contact for years,until I started working at Piedmont Community Service(ICF Home)and there to my surprising, she was an employee there as well. We worked there together for about 2-3 years, until I moved on..while there,we had the most fun, she adored me, as much as I adored her..always had a kind word and made sure I was ok. I'll never forget the times we had there at ICF, nor the times we shared and just talked and texted..RIP Nette ❤️u my friend-Lori

My prayers are with everyone. Lynette meant the world to me. She's one of my dear best friends. I love her dearly and always felt we were going to keep fighting this world together, seeing each of our families grow, and work hard to make a difference, and bring about change. Too soon, just too soon. But GOD has a plan and I have to accept that. Please rest easy my Queen. Thank you for all that you brought into my life and others.
