This is my best memory of Lynette as a student in fifth grade. I was so excited to teach about hot air balloons, and got a contest called “Who can make the best hot air balloon.” Unfortunately, I had the wrong size paper for the project. Lynette was so good at math! She figured out how to change the directions for making the balloons so they would fit on the paper I had. I don’t remember who won the contest, but I remember who made the contest possible.
Every year teaching Lynette was a pleasure, and I was really happy that we also came to love each other as adults. I treasure every minute we spent together.
Lynette was there for me as a little girl, young teen and as an adult. She did my hair and makeup for my eighth grade prom. She got me my first manicure ever. She lit up the room with her beautiful smile. She was a phenomenal Lawyer. She was a shoulder to lean on during difficult times. She made a difference in everyone’s life. She was funny, strong, and absolutely beautiful. She will be missed!
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all at this time.
My heart felt condolences. I recently called on Lynette and she was as she was when we were in high school, prepared with an answer and followed up to make sure I followed through. So sad to hear of your passing classmate, rest easy🙏🏾
