Amelia;
My memories of Mrs Long are at your house,with your mom sitting and leading the conversations.She was the sun,and everyone else was a planet. If the topic was politics,she had an opinion.If a specific person was being discussed,she would add a comment or roll her eyes to avoid saying what she was thinking. (i've heard Amelia say that was not always the case)We all knew.Shelly called her a "steel magnolia". Strong classy southern
lady .Mrs Long always made me feel welcome and as if she was glad to see me. She really set a great example of how to live your life. Active. Involved. Always a mom!
