Not sure what to say?

I loved her so much!! She taught me so many things. About life and the Lord. We would have Bible study and tea bright and early before we started working. She would say she was here from Almighty God to encourage other's. And that she did. I know she is in peace with Her Savior Jesus Christ. I love you more than you can imagine. Forever in my heart until we see each other again. Thank you so much for my Bible and the inscription you put in there for me. God blessed me and everyone that knew...

I saw you in a dream last night Mrs. Lucile. I miss your loving spirit and energy. Hope you are enjoying Heaven!

Your mother, grandmother, great grandmother didn´t know me, but I felt like I knew her! I read her story in the "Decision" magazine. She was an amazing woman who loved her Lord and Savior! May she Rest In Peace and may her legacy continue!

Dear Margaret and family,

Blount and I just heard about Lucille. I am so sorry to hear this but your Mother lived a long and incredible life. She was my inspiration. I was so glad that Blount and I were able to come to her birthday party this year. I also spoke with her afterwards by phone.

Our prayers are with you all- Joanne and Blount and family

What a blessing she was in my life.
I'm sorry I didn't find out until yesterday afternoon.

She always talked about her husband, and I'm sure they are rejoicing once again.

Mrs. Lucile McLennan was a bright light that loved her Dentist and staff. She would enter the office and announce her arrival and go room to room to say good morning. She always shared her faith and her joy for life. She always found something kind to say and gave us all a feeling of hope. Her spunk at 100 years old and the delightment in know she was still moving on was enough to say well I hope I can be like that. Lucile, you were a wonderful blessing and you will be missed. ...

Had I know of sweet Lucile's death, I would have come to Charleston! Lucile was my mother's life long best friend. I believe Lucile told me that her daughter Margaret was named for my mother Margaret Fant Lipscomb. They were girlhood friends, in each other's weddings and loved each other all of their lives. Each of these precious ladies had a tradition of calling each other on their respective birthdays. When my mama died, Lucile transferred that tradition to me! Each year she called me on...

I am glad to have known Her I will miss You Mrs. Lucile .

I worked as Mrs. MacLennan's pest control person for many years. I admired her quick wit and attention to details. She always kept me on my toes. I will miss her greatly. Don Ellisor
