Monticello, AR Wednesday, February 20, 2013 I am so sad to hear about Lucylle passing away. She was an amazing lady. Growing up in First Baptist Church, I can see her and Carl sitting in "their pew." I remember her as MHS secretary, too. More recently, she went on 2 of our "senior trips" to Gatlinburg, TN to the Jubilee Conference. She always dressed so pretty and had a smile for everyone. Sweet lady. She will be missed so much.Gary Newton
