I did not know Margaret Ann Long, but I have had the pleasure of working with Melissa Eicher at InsureZone for many years. As I have told Melissa many times, you are an amazing person. And for that to be true, she must have had an amazing mother and a great family. The thoughts of all your friends at InsureZone are with you and your family. John Pergande

Mom-you are missed and loved more than you know. The world became a little less brighter and less funny since yesterday. Thank you for everything. Love, Donna
