Celebration of Life with Military Honors

Dear Long family, you have my deepest sympathy in this time of loss. The death of a loved one can bring great pain and sorrow but you can have comfort. In Gods word the Bible it says at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4” The God of All comfort, comforts us in All our trials” so our loving Heavenly Father can comfort you in these difficult times. I hope this was a source of encouragement to the family.
Dear long family u will be in my prayer with deepest sympathy and regret ill miss u brother u were one of kind and always be in heart
