My heart goes out to all the family as Lynette will be greatly missed by all, may she and JC rest in peace.
To kristie and the rest of the family our condolences. The entire family has been a great help to the AHS football program for many years volunteering time to take care of our video needs. For them, it was much more than that. They have all felt the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat right along with all the coaches and players through the years. But much more than that, they have been our friends, and were a part of our Sunday School class at NMH for years, and their son Jacob grew up on AHS football as a ball boy and later a player. Our prayer is that they have found peace in the arms of our Savior.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lynette.
When I knew her she had a zest for life and was always fun talking to her
I was a sales rep to her and she always took time to listen and share with me her knowledge
She was a very genuine person and had a quick wit about her.
I was sadden to hear of her loss and now she in a better place and is
at peace in her life
God bless her and the family
Sincerely
Jack Herbert
