Our Creator, Jehovah God, "is close to the brokenhearted," and has so lovingly invited you to "throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (Psalm 34:18; 83:18; 1 Peter 5:7) May this invitation bring you much peace as we await the day Jesus calls for "all" in the grave to come out. (John 5:28, 29; 11:11, 43; Psalm 37:29) Take care Long and Gilliam family and please accept my sincerest condolences.
So sad to hear of Virginia's passing. I knew her well in Seattle years ago!! Sending blessings your way!! Leah Hyde
Virginia was a unique and truly remarkable woman. Her devotion to Archie was demonstrated in the loving care she gave him all through his illness. She had a generous and kind heart and did her best to improve the lives of her friends. She is in a happy place now and will be missed. My sincere sympathies to the Long family. She never forgot her roots in Alabama and now is truly home.
Thanks for putting this in the Seattle, Times. She, Leah, Sally, Ruthann. and I were friends for many years even before Archie. Us girls had so much fun together. Will always remember her and the fun we all had. So sorry for your loss.
She was such a kind and sweet friend! Knew her for so many years. Will miss her so much. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family. June Campbell..Lincoln City, OR.
It was with deep sadness when I heard of Virginia's passing. She was a true gem and it was a priviledge to have called here a friend. Virginia has never been far from my thoughts and heart. She was a very kindhearted, generous and caring person and will be deeply missed. Fran Disque (Kettle Falls, Washington)
Virginia always made work a happier place. Her warm, down-to-earth humor and wry observations helped make the day go by faster. I'll miss her kindness most though. Rip, Virginia. You left us much too soon, but we were lucky to have known you for as long as we did.
Condolences and peace to family and friends. I've known Virginia for 30 years and spent many wonderful times with her. She was everything good a friend could have. I was so happy for her when she moved "home," but, of course, missed her presence very much. But….we could always talk on the phone. And now…. RIP, kind lady, and say hello to Archie for me.

To the Long family, I am so sorry about Virginia. She, Brenda & I enjoyed vising so much. I know all of you will miss her so much. Brenda you have all our love & prayers. Barbara & Mike Morgan, Lady
To Virginia's family-while I never met you, she shared so many stories of her mother and sisters and "home" - Alabama. She and I worked directly together at Boeing in Seattle for 5 1/2 years, and she made life at corporate headquarters an adventure. Her stories of her Huntsville days, her move to Seattle, her adventures along the way were nice additions to what could be dry times in the office! She was a great role model for the joys of having good friends, was generous of her time and self, and it was a privilege to have known her. Elizabeth Marcoux
