I just called to make an appointment with Dr. Long today and found out of her passing. I was in NYC last Dec. and had no idea. Like everyone else who has added to this guest book, I am in shock. Kim was my dentist for so many years I can't remember. It was before the twins were born and she was at the old location. What a wonderful person. I hope these little notes honor her and continue to give the family comfort.

I like so many others who just learned of Kimberly's passing am in total shock. I have been a patient of Kim's for several years as has my son Mitchell. We briefly went to another dentist awhile back and quickly returned to Kim because of her gentle speed and professionalism as well as always having a kind word and sincerely wanting to know how you have been doing. My heart is aching for her family. Her children will undoubtedly know what a wonderful person she was and she will be in all our hearts always. My deepest condolences.

Dr. Long was my "new dentist" I only saw her twice. I was really impressed with not only her work, but her sweet way. She told me about being a dentist and a mother of two sets of twins and chuckled that I thought my 30+ year old crowns would never wear out. I wear a new white one now that she fixed for me. I am glad for the opportunity of having met her. I offer my condolences to her family and good friends. Kathy Smyth

Dearest Long Family...we are heartbroken to hear of such news. Garrison had shared the kindergarten class with T and Camden. In such sad times I remember the 9 boys in the kindergarten class all clammering at the fence to say Hi to Kimberlee. Garrison would come home from time to time (which would seem like everyday) with some treat or other...and I'd ask who gave you that...and he'd say..."the best mom in the whole world!" If the boys need anything [email protected]. Take care and God Bless.

Chris, Christopher, Jade, Terry & Camden,
We are still in shock by the loss of Kimberlee. Akshay was in Kindercare with T and Camden and he just thought the world of her. I know that entire class loved her. She was always surprising them with McD's for lunch or buying them graduation gifts. She was at every single class party or event. I marveled her for balancing her profession and family. May God give you the strength during these difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Because we are your neighbors across the way, we have delighted in watching the children play, and all of the wonderful things Kimberlee has set up for their entertainment. We saw a very involved and innovative mother.
We are very sad about her passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am so saddened to hear of this news. Kimberlee has been my dentist for approximately 13 years. She was such a beautiful person. She had such compassion for her patients. I never hated going to the dentist like alot of people did because Kimberlee never made you feel like you were in a dentist office. I remember days when I would go into her office and her twins would be there playing. They are such beautiful children. Kimberlee will truly be missed! My prayers go out to all her family in this time of sorrow.

December 14, 2010

Chris, Christopher, Jade, Terry & Camden,
