Let has been a wonderful supportive friend for many years, but especially in the past several years…I will miss his great sense of humor and his emails.
Rick, Mike and Cheryl, you had fantastic parents and I am so glad that they considered me their friend.  My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you in the coming weeks and months…bless you all.

Uncle Lester was my favorite of all my uncles. He always made me smile.  My dad, Fred Long,  loved his youngest brother and will be greeting him in heaven. So sorry for his passing but he struggled long enough. He is in a much better place with our Lord.  Bless all his children and grandchildren,  and great grandchildren.
Love to all, 
Nadine Long LaFleur
