Martha(Mom), Vince, Mike, and I would like to express our gratitude for all your kind thoughts and prayers. Dad went peacefully in his sleep next to his bride of 63 years. Our hope rests in the promise in the Scriptures from Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Blessings to you all. - Chris Long
