To know and work with Lynette was both a blessing and an honor. She was a beautiful soul who loved her family more than anything in this world. She absolutely left her mark on this earth and she will continue to do so through the wonderful memories we have of her. My deepest condolences to her family during this difficult time. With love and regards from our family, Kristi and Matthew Luckado.

Praying for your family. I will cherish the memories from school days!

Lynette is one of the strongest women I ever had the honor to know. She was a beacon of light for me and my family, and it breaks my heart that I won't be able to share new music or something funny we can both laugh at, with her. Lynette loved her family fiercely, and she had an unquenchable thirst for life. Her and Joseph went everywhere and I can't even begin to count the videos and photos of her children and grandchildren I've seen. My family and I are sending love and regards to Joseph and the entire Gilchrist family. May you always remember the beautiful soul Lynette is and was. Love, Brad, Cori, & Nola McPherson

Lynette will be missed by the many people that had the opportunity to get to know her during her short life here on earth. But if you did know her, you knew that nothing meant more to her than her children and her grandchildren. She was completely devoted to them and their happiness. She was a great mother, sister, and daughter. Know that you will see her again and that she will be watching over you all. Offering up many prayers for Lynette's family during this time.
