So many members of the Gulley family were not able to be at Ellen's funeral. She was one of our most loved cousins. Gus, Elizabeth and Leonard Gulley are no longer with us. Helen G. Guittard and Trudy G. Sensat were so sad not to be able to come so far for this loving, brilliant and joyful lady. She was so alive and giving. All who knew her will miss her. Our love and sympathy goes out to Henrietta, Paul, Milton, Louis and Peter and all in their families. With love, Helen and Steve, Trudy and Julius

Henrietta & Family,
Your mother was such a wonderful and sweet person. She will be missed at the Northside High School retiree luncheons at Lafonda's. She never seemed to miss any of them. We taught together at Northside High School and I also had the pleasure of teaching with you at Carencro High. She will be missed. Such a lovely lady. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
