To my friend and classmate Raymond (Tudy) Hullaby and the Hullaby Family:
My prayers are with each of you during your season of mourning. On Saturday, as I witnessed the wonderful Homegoing Service for your mom, I was taken back as a child on how important family was growing up in that area of Shreveport. Some families where small, others large but as a community we were all one big family.
It is evident that your mother remained the Rock of the Hullaby family in so many ways...and you guys honored her very well. From her pouring love into each of you and you all continuing to pour that same love into each other “will” forever strengthen and sustain your family bond.
Raymond, I remember this journey eight years ago when my mother passed. It was during that time that you became more than just a classmate, but one of my closest and dearest friends. You helped me by being there when I needed you and most importantly, allowing me to mourn at times when it may not had been the best moment but you remained constant and faithful to our friendship. I will never forget that. So, I say that to remind you of the same… I am here when you need me.
(Isaiah 51:12 "I, even I, am He who comforts you. . . . )
May GOD Bless You and Your Family.
Love always, your classmate and FRIEND,

To my classmate Raymond Hullaby and the Hullaby Family:
Take this time to celebrate the precious gift that God blessed you to have, hold, and cherish for the years that he did.
She gave you life, the ability, guidance, and encouragement to become what you are today. No words can truly express the value of what that means to you, but know that you honor her by passing those values forward.
Even though she has left your physical presence here on Earth, know that she will live on in your heart and memories.
May God bless, comfort, and keep each of you during this time of Bereavement.
With Warmest Sympathies and Prayerfully submitted,
Oliver & Kathy Scott

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We oftentimes cannot understand the passing of a loved one but GOD always knows what best.
She would not want either of you to worry or cry too long for her because now she is able to have a little talk with Jesus, a talk with the man that GOD created just for her (Lafayette) and last but not least one of her children(Bruce).
A few links have been taken from your family chain and speaking from experience it seems as if the chain is broken but what holds the chain together is what it is made of. And you all are made of love. And this is the greatest commandment of GOD.
Know that GOD has already counted your tears because HE is the one who quietly and with love wrapped HIS arms around your mother, grandmother, sister, mother in law, grandmother in law, friend, etc. and took her to that Heavenly home that all of us can see one day if we do as God commands. Be of good cheer and be comforted in knowing that GOD loves you no matter what it looks like. Sleep well loving soul Mrs. Nancy.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Expressions of sympathy are extended unto my classmate Raymond Hullaby and the Hullaby's family:
There are three words in the English language that appear more solemn than all the others. They are: Life, Death, and Eternity.
Life is more solemn than death. The object of Christ’s death is eternal life; a Christian death through Christ is a more abundant life.
The prophet Nehemiah concludes in his writing that bears his name with a beautiful prayer, one of the most beautiful scriptures that all of us should pray, saying: “Remember me O my God, for good."
This was The Life, The Legacy and The Gift of Mrs. Nancy Hullaby earnest plea and desires above all others that when her life was finished she would be remembered "for good."
This is the way that I saw Mrs. Nancy Hullaby
A ROSE
God created the rose in the likeness of woman.
The rose represents beauty.
The stem represents strength.
The petals are soft as skin.
The fragrance pure and sweet.
The leaves represent arms outstretched, always loving and giving.
Ms. Nancy, we will always remember you as our rose.
You were a pillar of strength.
Now God has picked you for his garden, and you are resting there.
Goodnight Ms Nancy we’ll see you in the morning.
Prayerfully submitted:
