As you go through this time of loss, may your faith in God sustain you. Northern left a legacy of letting people know that he loved them during his life as well as in his death. We should take on his characteristic of saying, "I love you."

We love you,

Earnest and Clarice Simmons

To: The family of the late Northern Lee Long

We were very sorry to hear of your loss

At times like this when we don’t know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won’t do and you don’t know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way

When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won’t do
May God bless and comfort you
