Political Quotes

“On December 22, Mississippi lost one of its most outstanding citizens when Mrs. Rubye Stutts-Lyells passed away. She was a personal friend of mine, but she was also a friend of many, and was one of the real leaders in our State in many areas of activity and interest. She took a very active role in helping to improve the opportunities for everyone in our State through her work in civic, cultural, religious, and political endeavors. While I was not able to attend her funeral, which was described as 'The Celebration of Triumph,' which was held in Jackson, MS, members of my staff did represent me on this occasion and sent me a copy of the program which contains a very fine and sensitive obituary. In memory of Mrs. Lyells, I ask unanimous consent, Mr. President, that a copy of the obituary and the program, 'The Celebration of Triumph, Mrs. Rubye Elizabeth Stutts-Lyells,' be printed in the Record.”
