Mr. Tully and family, I am so sorry for your loss .I am sure you already know, but I just wanted to tell you all what a great lady Lucille was. He was a great rep for headstart. She was very nice and helpful when my husband were young parents with kids in Headstart. There were a few times when I couldn’t afford to go to a doctors appointment and she took me. I believe she had a Chevy Nova at that time ( it was about 39 yrs.ago) and i thought it was so cool. If I needed help with something, she would help, and if she couldn’t , she would find an agency or people who could. She help a lot of Headstart parents like that. Thank you all for sharing Lucille with us. May God bless you all and comfort you all with the memories you have of her. ONE GREAT LADY
I’m from the Morning Star Community Church near Hamlin on Upper Mud Rv. Rd., and our church has been praying for her for several weeks; we’re so happy she was converted prior to leaving her home for a better one. Our prayers are with the family, God Bless all of you. Phyllis
