McClure, Talin Jacob Talin Jacob McClure 1/12/03 - 6/01/05 Truly an angel, Talin Jacob McClure came into our lives, and lived a full and happy two and a half years. We will never forget his adoring eyes and angelic smile. He was blessed with an incredible talent for blowing raspberries from birth. He knew nothing but love, and adored his big brother and baby sister. He was always smiling and happy. Talin loved the outdoors; he often stopped to pick up and play with rocks, sticks, rolly pollies and ladybugs. He would remember always to pick a wild flower and share it with his Mommy. He loved spending lots of time with his big brother, eating ice pops and playing "Buzz Lightyear". Talin will forever be remembered for his very own mischievous little run, and never forgetting to look up and enjoy the beauties of the stars and moon. Although his life was short, we have been blessed so greatly to have had him in our lives, and look forward to reuniting with him in the eternities.
