I know heaven must be beautiful right now because you are in it. Your honesty, hardwork and service to our country are just a few of the positive accolades you possessed that I admired. You were always ready to help out anyone in need and in any situation. I am grateful that I was able to know you and spend a part of my life with you. With much sadness and loving memories Diane (Thomas) Long.
