Mrs Mcclenan, I am truly sorry for you lost. I had no idea that Mr. Mcclenan passed away, but I pray for the comfort of you and your family. This is truly a shocker to me and I, so I can not even imagine what it must be like for you. Again, I am truly sorry for your lost and you husband was like a father to me.

My sympathy goes out to the family of Reverend Doctor George A. McClenan. I did not have the privilege of knowing Reverend McClenan, but I have the unique experience of meeting and working with his sister; Mrs. Jeanette Smith. If her brother was in anyway like her, then I know he must have been a great man. Jeanette is a friend of tantamount proportion. Family, rejoice and be glad that God gave you Reverend Doctor George A. McClenan for a just a little while. Hold precious his memories.
