Rick, Linda, Joan, and Carol,

I was so sorry to hear that your mother passed away.  I knew that she had Parkinson's disease and I hope she wasn't suffering before her death.  I will never forget that wonderful trip that your parents took us on across country in 1976!  I have taken my kids to some of the places we visited and always tell them about the fantastic time that we had.  Carol please get in touch with me when things settle down for you since we haven't spoken for a very long time.  I'm sorry I won't be able to be there for the services, but I will be thinking about all of you.

Dear Carol, Anna, Linda, Joan, Richard and Families,

We were so sad to hear that your dear Mother passed away.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers and I am sending you all of my love.  I will never forget the fun times that we had with your Mom and Dad at the Bay and during their visits to Asheville.  Your parents always welcomed us Tawanda with open arms and treated us like family.  Your Mom will be greatly missed and I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to such a special woman.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.  I hope you know that I am here for you and I love you all.  You are a wonderful family.
With Deepest Sympathy and Love,
Diane and Eric Rhoton and Family

We are very sad to hear about Mrs. Long's passing.  We are so happy that we were able to "re-kindle" the past and spend a week with her and the whole family this past July.  We still talk about her sharp wit and humor while playing cards at 11pm (we taught her a new game - 31)!  Sorry we cannot make it to the services this week - our middle boy, Jonathan, is being confirmed tonight.  We will cherish the great times we had with Mrs. Long, particulary during my youth.  A donation will be made in Verna's name to the Helping Hands Fund, care of LCHS.

Verna was a wonderful volunteer at Matthew 25.  She kept us laughing a lot!

 I was privileged to know her.

I had the great privilege of getting to know your mother through Home Instead Senior Care. I was with her every Friday afternoon for 2 hours. I enjoyed spending this time with her.  She had a great sense of humor and had wonderful stories to share about family and friends. She was thoughtful and kind and always worried she was asking me to do too much (which she never did).  I am a better person for having known her and will miss our time together. 

Sincerely,
Diana Mattos

Dear Long family,
The Allison family sends our most heart felt condolences for the loss of your Mom.  We have many wonderful memories of Verna singing with our mom, Connie, with the Quarter Notes, and mostly in the Church Choir.  Although her voice is gone from us, we know she's joined your Dad for a wonderful song in heaven.
Most Sincerely,
Russell Allison

To all,

I knew your Mom when we were both involved in volunteering at Lancashire Hall,
I would meet her at church, St. J.N...before she relocated to Lititz.  I was so sorry to hear of her passing, but I know she is with your Dad and in a much better place.  Be at peace and please know Verna will be in my prayers.

Sincerely,
Arlene Jarvis

Dear Linda & family,

I just found out today of your Mother's passing. I am so sorry for you & your family. If I would have known, you know I would have attended the funeral. She was a great Lady, she always had a smile on her face and I truly enjoyed talking with her whenever I saw her. She is now at peace with no more suffering and with her Heavenly Father. I will be in touch with you soon. You will be in my prayers.

Dear Long Family,

I was sorry to learn of Verna's passing. She was a wonderful woman who had a great sense of humor and loved her family intensely. She will be missed. Since I now reside in Florida it was impossible for me to attend the services for her. Know that you and your families and your mom and dad will remain in my prayers. May God give you comfort and peace.
