I went to LR Central High School with Therrel. Over all these years, he has always helped with our class reunions. He was such a gracious and kind person. We all loved him. Our Brunch Bunch, LRCHS 1960 classmates, have prayed for him through his illness and for Ann also. Ann and family, we pray you and yours are feeling the love and comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ through this hard time. We rejoice with you and Therrel, knowing he is with Jesus!

It sadden me to read about the death of Therell Mullens. He is my age and a classmate from years ago. I remember a happy red-headed guy with a ruddy complexion. Judging b his photo, he complimented aging. He will be missed.
