To the Talley Family, I am deeply sorry for the loss of such a precious family member. Our mothers seem to be the glue that holds it all together. Your memories of her have now become more meaningful. You will find yourselves longing to hear her voice and to feel the touch of her soft loving hands, at times like these reflect on those memories. You will be in my prayers for the days ahead will be long and tiring. I know that your faith is in the Lord and that you know where to draw your strength. Love in Christ my friends.
So sorry to learn of your loss especially at this time of year. May the comfort of knowing where she is help you through this time of sorrow. God bless!
So very sorry about the loss of your dear mother. You are in my prayers during this difficult time. But we have the hope of our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we know that if we are a child of the King we will one day see her again along with our other loved ones who have passed from this life.
Love to all the family,
God bless you!

I do understand the bitter sweet feeling as I lost me father a couple of years ago after he fell and hit his head leaving him to spend the last three months of his life on life support.
My comfort in it all was knowing that when he passed he would be with the Lord and I will see him again some day.
many blessings to you all during this time in in 2011.
Dear Roger,Debra and Lauren, I am so sorry for the loss of Mrs. Talley. It seems she laid such a great foundation for Roger and Kirk and I know that Debra loved her because she would tell us so when she talked about her mother-in-law during concert appearances. Debra would just say out loud how much she loved her when she’d talk about Mrs. Talley.
One of my favorite moments on Talley DVD’s is from the STAGES DVD when Roger, Mr. and Mrs. Talley and Lauren were around the piano singing “God Is Great, God Is Good, God Is Merciful,” and when the song was finished Roger leaned over and told his mom “hey, you’ve still got it!” Mrs. Talley responded playfully with “I do?…Well where is it?” At that moment, Lauren and Roger cracked up laughing and I thought what a lovely memory to have.
I am so sorry for y’all to have to go through this sorrowful time right now. I am sending big hugs to all of you. God Bless You,
Love,
Lisa

So sorry for your loss. We will lift up your family in prayer.
The wonderful blessings and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your family member.I guess she missed the rapture and just went home early.She will be waiting for you all when your blessed time comes and Ma and Grandma will be back in the family circle.All Glory and Honour go to the Prince of Peace that restores life eternal.Be comforted knowing this and the so much more you already know of the workings of our Father,Brother,Lord and Saviour. You spend your life telling everyone of this.Take comfort through those tough times when we are dedicated back to the Earth in full knowledge of what a sight it will be when the graves burst open and we are all joined together again with Him. You are blessed this day. Michael A McGibbon Methuen,Massachusetts
Dear Roger, Debra and Lauren,
So sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing, but rejoice with you in knowing that she is with her Jesus, the one she loved and sang about for so many years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, praying you will feel His presence and comfort during this difficult time.
She told Dave and I many times how proud she was of all of you. You brought her so much joy!
We will be praying also for the days to come and for your father. May he rest in the One that he has served for so many years and find His peace!
Loved to all!
