In the very short time I've known Ms. Nora, and Mr. Jake, they have been a wonderful couple. I have memories of their 50th wedding anniversary. With her having ascended, and Mr. Jake, ill, I now have to find another outlet on my return from my fishing trips. May God's richest blessings sustain the family.

My love, prayers, and condolences to my "fam", the Longs. Please know Ms. Nora is at rest, in the arms of the Lord, smiling down because she is with God and George. No more pain, no more suffering..Heaven was being prepared quickly for her because she will always be an angel in heaven as she was on earth. She loved and protected her family with love and her heart. God needed her more. Mama Nora will forever be loved and missed.
