    Dear Rita, Danny Kathy Marie and Michelle, so very sorry to hear about Mr. Long. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have heard you were all with your Dad/husband when the time came and he passed from this world to the next. What a comfort that must of been for him and all of you. I truly believe he has gone to a much kinder world, although that does not heal the hurt you all feel. Once again my heart goes out to all of you. Your family was a very big part of my childhood and I love you all. may the peace of our Lord be with you now and always Cindy Arnold

    Michele, I am very sorry to hear about your dad. Growing up in grammar school, 464 Ballad Ave was like my second home and Leon was like my second dad. You and your family always made me feel welcome and let me tell you, I was at your house, a lot. I will never forget that. Good times:) You are all in my prayers. Love you like a sister, Colleen
