ELSIE LORANE TALLEY MCCLAIN

After Elsie retired from her outstanding career with Patterson, as VP of New Homes Division, I had the wonderful opportunity to engage Elise as an Account Manager to oversee several of our New Homes accounts. Every day with Elsie was a treasure. She was inventive, detailed and handled business with the most remarkable sense of humor that was the glue that kept everyone engaged! I am proud to call her a dear friend.

Feb. 26, 2012, on a Sunday night when everyone departed & we were alone, Mother transitioned to her heavenly home. My life will never be the same & the void will always be there. I try to keep my memories vibrant--just like her. My grand daughter, Clara Elizabeth Jenkins, has Mother's spirit & Wayne's grand daughter, Mallory McClain Redd, has her dark, curly hair. Both little darlings were born the same year Mother left us. My world will never be the same & nobody else can compare to...

Even though I haven't seen Elsie in many many years, I do remember her from our Seabreeze Singles Club. She was enthusiastic, energetic, and a valued member and president of the club.

My sincere sympathy to her family.

My "MAMA" has left this earth, but she will be with me forever AND I miss her every minute of the day. We had been living together since 2001. She was so unique and I am devastated without her. She was on a mission to join THE LORD and totally focused on her goal for a few years, but this last year's journey was so hard for her. I am blessed by knowing that she is at peace. Her daughter,

Sarah,
I'm so sorry about your sister. May she rest in peace and you have the blessing of comfort from our savior.

I will always remember how kind Elsie was when Tom introduced us. Our Children, Amanda and Gage will always remember her as well. She was very sweet to them. In loving memory of a special Aunt. We love and miss you. Daryl, Tom, Amanda and Gage Talley

Elizabeth and Wayne, you had a wonderful Mother. She was the first person that took me to Sunday School. My husband just retired from pastoring for 40 years. I have many memories of being in your home as a child. Love you, Diana Shelton Taylor
