To Cora, Ken Jr, Donna, Rich and Beth

My heart goes out to you all and may you find strenght in the lord during this time.

I have such fond memories growing up with the longacre’s in Franconia and one I will never forget. The time Ken Sr let me drive the Mercedes to the car wash in Souderton. I thought that was greatest thing in the whole word and something I will never forget.
