Allen Talley “is” a faithful man of Christ. I say is and not was, as Allen is alive in Christ for eternity. I celebrate Allen’s life knowing he is in Heaven. Allen and Ellen a beautiful married couple and the example of true love! Allen, a man who always reached out to others in any way he could. A soft spoken man, who in my presence, never spoke an unkind word. Allen is missed from this world.
A Servant of Christ through & through. It was an honor to know him. He was a big part of the Harmony church family. Prayers of Peace & comfort to Ellen & the Family, in Christ Jesus forevermore…
Allen was a wonderful man and brother- in- law. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him especially his family and church. His faith in God was filled with love and he cherished his faith in his Lord and Saviour knowing he was always there when he needed him.
Uncle Allen was a good and faithful man who lived a life of devotion to his family and The Lord. I was blessed to know him and call him my uncle. He will be missed but not forgotten.
I was so blessed to meet Allen and Ellen at Harmony Church. I was so impressed to see what a kind, compassionate man he is. God’s Word tells us in Revelation 21:4 that God will wipe away all tears from our eyes and there will be no more death or crying, and there shall be no more pain. What a wonderful promise and there will be a glad reunion day when we see our loved ones again. .I pray God’s Peace and Comfort surround you today and in the coming days .Love and prayers, Mary Harris
Allen was a wonderful husband to my sister and a solid rock for our mother. I will always remember Mom never had to ask more than once and how he grew a tremendous garden for himself and his wife so he could share with his entire community, church and family members. That garden was more for the church than for himself. This is who he was to all people.
Allen lived his Christian life by example. He was always the neighbor you could depend on. He visited the sick, reached out to help those in need and was always willing to do for others. He will be missed. Heavens gain is our loss. Much love to Ellen and the family.
