Words cannot express the sorrow I felt when I heard the news of Lucy's death I met Lucy as a freshman at LSU. We lived on the same wing in Annie Boyd Hall.I was immediately attracted to her "larger than life personality" and that Laugh would brighten anyone's day. Since I was from Florida and didn't go home frequently, Lucy's family took me in as one of their own. I thought of Big Jim and Margaret as my Louisiana parents. I spent many weekends and holidays at their home in Covington. I frequently look back and treasure those memories.My prayers and sympathy for the entire family.She will be missed! Judy Bembry Lee
Lucy and I were sisters-in-law for 15 years and friends for over 45 years. I was there when Mac was a little guy and enjoyed storytelling and helping Lucy when I lived close by. Mac named me NeeNee, a name my grand babies still call me today. We share the loss of our Mac’s and she was forever a bright spot in my life...forever united in love and loss. I enjoyed a visit with her just this week. She was an amazing woman and one I am proud to call “friend”. My deepest condolences to Craig and her family...
I will never forget my friend, Lucy. Her laugh was both contagious and never imitated without a smile. I will always remember our first year of teaching together . And if walls could talk!!! BUT my most fond memory is sitting with her upon, Craig's request , during the night of Mac's arrival . It was very special. I loved her so, and know she is glorifying in the presence of our Lord with Mac and her family at her side!!!!
To the McLachlan Family,
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Lucy. She was one of the sweetest ladies you could know. She always had a big smile on her face and would greet you with enthusiasm. She will be missed.
