Aunt Harriet and Uncle Al along with Pete and Tom give me great memories as I think back. What a great place it was to be at the Long’s for a Sunday afternoon of football in the basement with the fireplace going after a great meal with my cousins, aunt, and uncle. Also remember delicious chocolate chip cookies, chex mix, Sayner, WI, vegetables from the garden, and getting tackled quite a bit in the back yard playing football. Thank you Aunt Harriet and family for all of those great memories. A life well lived.
