Remembering Andrew Long


Andrew Van Long
December 22, 1998 – September 20, 2007
Andrew was born on December 22 but we brought him home on Christmas day. What a wonderful reminder of the gift that was his life. He was kind hearted, sweet and stubborn. He loved to laugh and would talk with you at length on just about any subject. He had a mop of blonde hair and the most beautiful blue eyes. Andrew lived for just over 8 ½ years; valiantly battling cancer for more than 3 of them. We could not be more proud of him and we will never forget him. - Anne Long

I knew Andrew and yes he was a very sweet boy. We met at camp SAM because my son was a camper too. Jared Kelley did an excellent job of capturing the essence of Andrew. He really has a talent for this! The portrait he did of my son Ryan is above my fireplace and is the first thing anyone sees when they come into my home! My prayers continue to be with you!
