I have only just heard of the death of my dear Aunt Noreen - last surviving member of the Long family from Cork, Ireland. She was a regular visitor to Cork in her younger days and together with her beloved husband, Dick, she stayed with our family. She had a fantastic sense of humour. When I was a student and working in New Jersey, she made a bus journey down to visit me and I sampled my first Strawberry Shortcake and Pimms No 1. I subsequently stayed with her and Dick along with 2 of my friends and we had some very late nights talking about all the family "at home". My love to her beloved daughter Martha. She was a fantastic mother and willbe sorely missed. Love, Helen
