Dr. Delores Lytle was like a mother to me!!! I met her at Central State University in 1993 when I was in a bad place dealing with some trauma I was experiencing. Dr. Lytle's office became my safe haven and I met her husband Mr. James who was like a father figure to me as well. I would call them and talk them from time to time after I graduated. I lost touch with Mr. James after Dr. Lytle made transition. I am starting a K-12 academy and I am naming one of the halls in my school Dr. H. Delores Lytle Hall. Thank you for saving my life Dr. Lytle, I will always keep your memory and legacy alive!!!! I love you and Mr. James forever. I hope he is doing well!
