Lynnette was born in Ayrshire Central Hospital on 3rd May 1987 at 01.08am. She was a tiny wee thing weighing only 5lbs 7ozs. At 3 days old she was transferred to Yorkhill Sick Kids Hospital. She was diagnosed as having a narrowing of the Aorta and underwent surgery (co-arctation) on 23rd May to correct this. The operation went well and she recovered well from the anaesthetic. On 26th May she again started to deteriorate and had to have surgery on her abdomen as she had necrotising entrecolitis. After this she improved and was eventually allowed home on the 10th July 1987. She underwent another operation on the 14th August to reverse the illeostomy that had been performed to correct the necrotising entrecolitis. After this she seemed to start thriving and although very small and underweight for her age she started to develop within normal limits. For the next 2 years she was a happy wee girl who loved everything and everyone she met. Apart from regular bouts of wheezing and asthma her health was generally good. At a routine appointment at Yorkhill it was discovered that she needed open heart surgery and she was admitted once again to Yorkhill in February 1990 and underwent the operation. She went to theatre on 6th February and was out of bed and running up and down the ward the next day even though she was supposed to be on bed rest. Everyone was amazed by her recovery and she was allowed home on the 13th February exactly a week after surgery. Her health was never 100% with a lot of chest infections and bouts of asthma but she never complained. As she grew older it became apparrent that she had some learning difficulties but she took these in her stride and just did her best. often she would say of her work "it's ne guid is it but ah did try didnt ah" and she always did. She sat her exams in 4th year and passed not with straight A's but passes all the same, she went on and did 5th year and again passed her exams again not straight A's but passes. I was so proud of her for the positive attitude and for giving her best to all she did. Her big sister had a baby girl in July 2003 named Lucianne and Lynnette was the doting aunty. She spent all her spare time with Lucianne helping to feed her and taking her for walks. They had a really close bond more like sisters than aunty and niece. She got a vocational assessment place at Kilmarnock College and was due to start in August 2005 and was so excited about it.
Lynnette turned 18 on 3rd May 2005 and we arranged a surprise dinner at Memory Lane in Kilmarnock for her. She was so happy and was loving life so much. She had everything to live for. A couple of weeks after her 18th birthday we were sitting talking and laughing about things and she suddenly turned serious and said to me " mum life is too short and is for living and to have fun and enjoy cos you only live once" I asked her what made her say that and she replied "well you're a long time dead" she then went to visit her sister and niece.
On the night of the 2nd June she came home after spending 3 days and nights with her sister and niece, we had a nice night watching televsion talking and laughing about things that she used to do with her sisters and brother when they were all younger. At 9.15pm she went to bed and I checked on her and her brother at 11.15pm like I did every night before I went to bed. They were both sound asleep.
On the morning of the 3rd of June at 7.15am I went in to wake my little girl up and she was gone.
The minister at the service summed up our ray of sunshine with these words:
"Lynnette was rich in the spirit of her short life, she was happy with her life, happy with what she had and the way she was. She was her family's ray of sunshine, a unique and special girl that brought her own gifts to each of us who knew her."
Lynnette you were our ray of sunshine and we all miss you so much. When you left us you took a part of each of us with you which we will never be able to replace.
You left behind 2 older sisters Nicole and Carrianne, a younger brother Gavin, and me your mum.
You brought such joy and love to my life, always smiling and making me smile when I was sad. As well as being my youngest daughter you were my friend and I miss you.
Love your mum

Missing My Special Daughter At Christmas And Always
The pain is indescribable,
It shouldn't be this way.
We should be looking forward,
To a joyful Christmas day.
Instead, there is only sorrow,
And the blinking back of tears,
When thinking of the joy you brought,
Throughout the happy years,
Dear, laughing little girl,
That special person you became,
Has left behind a world,
That's simply never been the same.
And yet, your presence lingers,
You will always be nearby,
For the love of a precious Daughter,
Will live on and never die.
Love and Miss You Lynnette xxx

I Love and Miss you my Angelstar xxx
I do not need a special day to bring you to my mind.
The days I do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on.
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly; in death I love you still.
Another year my darling grandaughter. Love and miss you more than ever. Time passes so quickly but the hurt never goes away all my love nana xxxxxxx
On this your 6th Angel Day
I can't believe it's been 6 years since I came into your bedroom to wake you up and couldn't my Angelstar xxx It feels like just yesterday xxx I love and miss you so much and I must have filled the worlds oceans with the tears that I've cried xxx
You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oh, what could I give to clasp your hand;
Your kind dear face to see;
Your loving smile, your welcome voice,
That meant so much to me.
No one knows the silent heartache,
Only those who have lost can tell
Of the grief that is borne in silence
For the one I loved so well.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In our home she is fondly remembered,
Sweet memories cling to her name;
Those who loved her in life sincerely,
Still love her in death just the same.
We mourn for her in silence,
No eyes can see us weep,
But many a silent tear is shed
While others are asleep.
Time may heal the broken heart,
Time may make the wound less sore,
But time can never stop the longing
For the loved one gone before.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You will never be forgotten my precious Angelstar xxx
Love mum xxx
