Celebrating the Life and Legacy of a God-Fearing Man of Principle With reverence to Almighty God and gratitude for a life well lived, we honor and celebrate the homegoing of Thelvie Cullins, Sr., a man of unwavering faith, deep i Read Obituary
✨Earth has No Sorrow that Heaven cannot heal . I got to know a great gentleman of a Melanated Man in
T. Cullins ,Sr. I was hoping to get to see him again if he ever came back to New York to visit . Quiet . Humble and Very well - spoken . I liked to hear him speak and cut up / laugh . Our plans are sometimes NOT God’s plans . He is missed . But knowing he is Resting with the Lord . 😢😔😞
I pray daily for God to heal the pain in my heart felt from the passing of my dear brother.💔 Not only was Thelvie my brother, but a father-figure as well. One memorable occasion was when our Mom was in the hospital in Little Rock for an extended period of time, I stayed with her. Clarence was still & Viet Nam & Felicia was very young. Thelvie & Mary traveled from Dallas every weekend, went to Lewisville to pick up my child from my in-laws & brought Felicia to LR with them so we could spend the weekend with me.🥲 Once there, he was the one that carried her through all of the long corridors at University of Arkansas Medical Center. That’s just one kind of quiet strength, love & compassion my brother showed me. My love & respect for him will last through eternity.❤️🩹💙 My consolation is that I’ll see him again.🙏🏾
Heaven bless the family with Angels to comfort, strengthen and protect.
Earth has No Sorrow that Heaven Cannot heal . Be Encouraged both Loving Wife, Francis and
Loving Son Thelvie & To the Entire Family and Friends . Be of good Cheer . TC Cullins is just Resting because he got a little tired . He is the kind of Melanated
Man that I like to be like and is a true hero in the sense of What a God Fearing Man Should be .
Sincere condolences to the Cullins family. Thelvie was my classmate at Foster High School. He, my husband and I are proud T.C. graduates, class of 1968.
"May the Lord bless and keep you and cause his face to shine up you and give you peace."

Thelvie,
You had a strong side, but there was also a side that was gentle and kind. Eleven years ago, when my only sister passed away - you and Mary met us at the airport in Texarkana. That was a weekend when your family was busy with graduations and other important events - but you made time to support us as well. During one of the worst times of my life - you and Mary were there - before, during, and after the funeral. I've thanked you many times in my heart and I felt the great love that one could have for a wonderful brother-in-law. Our love goes out to you....

The Family of Thelvie Cullins, Sr., we cherish the memories of Thelvie and we know that you know - as a body of believers - that no matter how difficult in times like these, our wounded hearts will heal to the point where we will be able to see beyond the sorrow and allow the memory and lessons that are sealed inside of you bring you comfort. I always see Thelvie as "Teacher." We love you and are here for you.
